Tribute to the 1.2

[Anonymous]

I just like to take a moment and praise the 80 sx, as yesterday i put £20 if fule in at 72.9p/l from empty and it did 450miles, if that isn't good fuel economy i don't know what is, 1.4 RIP

Nice to see you all by the way, i like the intrest you had in my numberplate sticker Nige!

it's true wimmy, i couldn't belive it myself, but that guage is a liar, as it said empty from birmingham, but i had no m,oney left at all so i had to go for it, 200 miles later i was home, and only put £20 in that morning, i thought great best go put some in now or i'll wreck my cat.

Its True

I did a 380 mile trip and 3/4 of the way back on a full tank in my 80 sx - about a £43 tank isnt it?

Milton Keynes to Cumbria (Rowrah)

Re: Its True

I did 330 miles on £30.50 fuel in a 1.6,then had to fill up again to do the next 70 miles home. (decided to fill up as i didn't fancy tryin to squeeze 400 miles out the tank and the petrol station was about to shut!) Nothing to do with what your talkin about but i didn't think it was bad for a 1.6!

I got 39MPG from my 1.6 at 70-80MPH going between Soton and Leeds. It seems to enjoy long runs.

Re: hold on..

nah i meant 9000 miles. i had it transported abroad with me with a tenners worth in the tank although it didnt drive much it still covered 9000 miles.

 

[andy1881]

£20 at 72.9p/l is 27.43 litres or 6.02 gallons right

So 450 miles from 6.02 gallons is 74.75mpg

You got an LPG unit fitted to that or something? cuz that just dont add up

I don't undestand it myself, but i got home and didn't refill at all, i was going on average 90mph, and then the roads around home are 40, it was probobly running on fumes for 250 miles
