I'll pass on this test until Nov 6th - 11th. I've got to go to Coventry from Chelt, back to Cheltenham on the 6th. Then on the 7th down to Bath onto Bournemouth then back to Cheltenham via Bath, then off to Coventry and finally back to Cheltenham. November the 8th I'm off to Essex for a few days and back. I reckon I've got to do 900 miles in a week not including any running around in Essex.
What's the bets I use nearly 3 tanks of fuel just for that in a 740 turbo 2.3. I can't do a solo test because passengers will be with me for 85% of these journeys.. I will post my findings.. Until then ALi

To the above 2 diesel posts this is the Performance section, not tractor section,
Set the rules as 45 litres of Petrol, and minimum 2.3 ltrs Gary.

45 litres that'll be gone in no time, but fair do I accept the challenge (thinking mine will be pathetically low). How many litres to a gallon again??

4.55 litres to a gallon - so 45 litres is near enough 10 gallons. Makes it easy to work out ur fuel consumption too if you just divide the number of miles travelled on 45 litres by 10 to get the MPG

I would argue that a diesel performs far, far better than any petrol car. It uses much less fuel. It lasts a damn site longer. They produce less CO2. The bad micro particles in the earlier diesels are now much much lower and are considered cleaner mile on mile these days. They can run on bio-fuels. If you want "performance" as in speed the Volvo is a very poor choice! Get yourself an Atom. Full tank though 70 litres, I get just under 800 miles on average. Vipes
