Its kinda hard really with £10 worth of fuel due to the price changes, however £10 would get you about 7 litres which is about 1.5 gallons, you should get between 67 and 90 miles to that £10.

When I was using my car for the daily commute I did about 75 miles a week all town driving, I used to fill up once a month and still had about 1/3 tank left. As its now winter the MPG will drop though due to the extra fuel additives added to diesel to stop it going gloopy in the cold lol

If you click on the MPG figure below this post you will see my fill ups and see if they were town, mixxed or motorway

If the car is serviced properly and everything is running well and you know how to drive economically there are very few cars that could beat it for fuel economy considering the size and power.

For £10 fuel I get around 45 miles local,or around 65/70 if motorway,is thast normal.

You living in the euro's ? what price is diesel there ?
