well £20 normally gives me 100 miles in the 3.0 mv6 auto so i guess £10 is 50  :-/

However a lengthy "motorway cruise" last sunday got 150miles from my £20 so i guess 75 for £10.

Proves driving at 80mph rather than 30 saves time and money  :)

You've just got me thinking, when I had my 2.0l transit in Liverpool, many, many moons ago, I use to put £3 in and run around in it all day ;D

Same car and i'm around 60miles to £10 on general usage which is a mix of the 3 miles to work and the short blasts along the a89 to my mother in laws

I wasn't getting much better in the 1987 1.6 ford escort i just go shot of :D

Refilled today with £22 of V-max and had done 110 miles on the trip.

Works out at 22 ish miles to the gallon, allowing for v-max at 97p/litre.

£50 - £55 gets me on average £350 - £380 in the MV6, but I don't do many motorway runs in it now...
