if i can keep down to 70 for the week,back and forwards to work every day clocks me 247 miles and brim to brim it takes 26 llitres
 to fill it back up, if im in late for work or in a rush to get home mode everyday, it takes 33 litres to brim it , best mileage to a tankful before i got scared was 663 the light had been on for 20 miles by then :o and didnt know how long it would go o for that was on a run down to cornwall and back, was well chuffed as it sat on the motorway on cruise at 77mph all day
mines a manual tho

I filled up the tractor friday night at Asda in Wheatley, and cruised up M40.  By time I'd got to Ardley, range was saying 644miles, and already done about 18miles by then....

How accurate is the range though?

Not set this one specifically yet, so unsure.  Its set to default, which is normally reasonable..  I must stress, this was after a 18m 70mph cruise.  After a few roundabouts and a bit of booting, it dropped quite a lot!

I can imagine it dropping lots!!!

I have no real intention of booting it - its purely for driving as economically as possible.

some weeks i do 370 miles, others I can do alot more - for instance, I've done about 170 upto now, im off on site tomorrow, so theres another 235, then im off again on friday, which is another 240 - 260 miles, plus 70 on thursday.  next week i have a 400 mile trip on tuesday, so its all adding up!
