Was just wondering how many miles to the full tank other owners are getting out of their coupes :?:

The most ive done is about 410 all motorway miles, with one eye on the road and one eye on the mpg dial.

my car is a gen 3.5 with a k&n replacement filter with the snorkus mod.

would be really interested to know any other figures, especially for the gen 3.5

Cheers

I've got a Gen 3 2.0l manual. 45K on the clock no mods except Tuscani badges.
I work on MPG rther than miles per tank.
Around town, to work and back etc. I get 28 - 30 mpg.
I've only done one really long run but then I got 38 mpg at an 'enthusiastic' 70mph
Overall I'm averaging 32mpg.

Ive got a 2.0 gen1, usually get around 29mpg around town using super unleaded, 26 with normal, traveling to work etc, just done Lowestoft to Rockingham and back, around 340 miles, still had about 1/5 of a tank left, and worked it out at 34 mpg.

I'm getting around 30mpg around town in my Siii but I did manage a trip to Brighton and back at about 38/39mpg. Got it on the motorway and hit the cruise control. These are figures I can only dream about in my Rex8.

Gen1: General rule of thumb for mine is I'll get 300miles per tank and extra is a bonus, I can normally squeeze an extra 50miles out but it varies on what type of driving.

 

[paul896]

mainly do town driving where the MPG is low 20s, normally get 150 miles to half a tank

im getting 28-30 with a tuned 2.0

 

[Burger28]

I'm getting around 29 average on a V6 with plugs, leads + K&N SRI

lidl got 320 today from a tank full

How do you know that ??
Don't tell me he's so hard up after paying for all the repairs to his V6 that he's having to get club members buy his pterol for him :shock:

 

[thedupleman]

im afraid so.i looked out the window this morning and he was sat there on the step with a begging bowl.....also wanted interest free credit on purchases from me.....can you believe it.me and ash are getting sick of supporting his "habit"

 

[Labrat of Larbert]

I'm glad I'm in Scotland, although I did hear that the A1 is passable again after this morning's snow.
Maybe I could suggest he tried the more southern latitudes, as there are more club members down London way.

 

[thedupleman]

lets face it he aint gonna come up your way.........getting cash from you lot is blood from a stone

 

[Labrat of Larbert]

Ah! But I'm Welsh, and I work at the oil refinery (No free samples I'm afraid)

 

[thedupleman]

wesh eh? bet you bought a fleece lol

back on topic you naughty boy........so who's got better figures than those already printed

 

[ANDY-Tuscani]

lol, i didnt think my car was too bad on fuel i drive mostly motorway miles but i do drive fast n dont mind paying for the petrol but since i put the induction kit on my car im getting no where near as many miles as i used to, i dont know its because i rag it more now it sounds nice or its just made it worse lol but doing all motorway miles i got 380 miles out of a tank b4 induction kit and mines a gen 3 2.0l.

These figures people are quoting for mpg, I'd be interested to know - are these calculated from fuel quantities or reading from the dial? Because I'd be willing to bet there'd be a pretty big difference between what the dial says and the actual.

I think I calculated about a 26mpg average from my v6, and that's an actual figure.

 

[paul896]

fuel quantities 4 me!there is a sticker on da pumps in my local station that tells u how to change liters in MPG
