between plymouth and nottingham i never see more than 27.5 mpg!!!

I fill up and by the time i am at the other end i have killed 3/4 of a tank, the run is 255 miles door to door........

i have got used to it now, its a by-product of owning a car that is comfortable and cruises at a nice speed

BTW it never takes me more than a few hours to get from home to nottingham and vice versa :y

... Do you get to £10 worth of normal unleaded...with general running around ? And What do you drive?

My 2.0 GLS Auto is doing 40 miles tops to £10

With 20quid i would do 120miles with mixed driving and mixed driving style, this was with my 2.5 omega manual v6. In the very cold winter it would drop to arround 110. Now with the Alfa i do about 90 but it is more economic car on the motorway.

2.2 Round town 110 miles.  

85mph for 100 miles = 140 on Shell V Power - 29.5 mpg, fully laden with passengers, cot, suitcases and shopping. >:(

Roughly £20 - 200 miles - from a V6!!

That Corsa is expensive ;D

I've never tried a maximum mileage run Martin. That's 100 miles of twisty country road with lots of revs, so I'm not sure what a V6 would see to that. The acid test surely would be Markie giving me a loan of his car for a weekend  ;)

Sounds like my commute,  twisty roads lots of throttle.

And I get 200 miles from £20
Yeah, but the Corsa probably has a big boot by the time you have lost most of yours on that tank.

About a third - I still got 5 chairs. a coolbox, a pump up boat, video tripod beach mats, frisbees, toolbox, camera bag ect ect in there last year  :y

Of course! Using the gas...that's cheating!!  ;D

It's a Corsa B I have, still not massive inside, but im only 5' 6"  ;D

Nippy for sure, but it's not ideal in the comfort/refinement stakes!! :-/

£20 gets me 160 miles from the 2.2

£55 gets me 410 ish in the Senny  :y

That's incredible for the Senny!!!!

I hope my Elite does that, when it's finished...
£50 - £55 gets me on average £350 - £380 in the MV6, but I don't do many motorway runs in it now...

Mine is doing about the same as TB's, £50-£55 gets me 350-375 miles but done 400miles when i had a run out too :y

Eeek! Probably spent more on caffeine trying to stay awake I guess!

It was painful enough trying to keep the speed down for 120 miles of towing on tuesday.

Can get 380-400 mixed miles to £32 worth of gas :) Probably helps that I've got a proper gearbox ;)

Lowest I've had from a tank was 280 miles (~18 MPG almost as bad as my BMW on that trip lol), most of that was to and from Nevis range, 4 up with 3 snowboards on the roof rack, all twisty B-roads and most upshifts were done over 6,000 RPM -- well I did manage to overtake about 15 cars on the way back! That was great fun although I did feel like the car could do with a little more power, I momentarily hit the rev limiter a few times trying to wring that last few horses out on overtakes :o
