As above, 75L.

Only 366? I've got 420 easy when running on petrol that is in the 2.2.

3.2 I've cracked 390

Thanks, chaps. :y

So.......... 75 divided by 4.55 = 16.48 gallons

So.....366 divided by 16.48 = 22.20 MPG. :-\

That is shit. :(

If the light was only on for the last few miles then you could have over a gallon left in't tank,if you brim it now and do the maths on how much it takes your figures should look better :y

Trip computer shows 29.7 MPG, Henry.

Easy route......Grantham......then A46, then M1, M69, M6, M42.......then Bromsgrove.....Kidderminster and Leominster.

What kind of work, town, short runs or motorway?

Either way its shit, my 2.2 only gets 25mpg on average, but that only costs 69p a litre to fill up  8)
