60 Litres is 13.2 UK gallons, or 15.85 US gallons (Finally! Something in the US that isn't bigger. the US gallon!! lol)

so 505 miles to a tank would give you roughly 38 mpg in the UK or 33½ mpg in the US.

somehow i doubt my t4 could manage that, but i have a 400 mile round trip ahead of me at the end of the week so we will see lol

I might drive up there on cruise control, and back down here manually and see if there is a difference.... Although i do have a habit of sticking my foot down a bit if i have control... i'm no good at this "eco driving" stuff lol!
