See you have a Phase 1. 32.6 is pretty good as is 29mpg on short runs.

60 litres would cover 550 miles in my 1.9D S40. Worked out using the past 10 weeks of mpg calculations every time I've filled up. Sadness at it's best lol.

550 is pretty good. I'm hoping I can get 400 miles from one tank

I still seem to be forever filling it up!

My Elise has a 36L tank and I seem to fill that up less often when I'm using it for the same journeys.

i can get a good 440 miles from one tank in my car :P - pretty good going for a 16 year old motor

Hi, i can get 440 miles out of my 1.8 petrol, however, i have been able to put 62 litres in the tank when it wasnt completely empty ie i didn't run out of fuel.......

That's pretty dam good for the original 1.8 1996 engine. I should be able to get at least 480 then, if my driving is smooth enough
