#3: Re: rough idea anyone? Author: 138Andy, Location: NottsPosted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 7:16 pm ---- 80miles roughly , dont drive like a c*** and should cost around £20 one way at the most ?
#4: Re: rough idea anyone? Author: Bassline_Toad, Location: Chester, UKPosted: Thu Mar 22, 2012 7:23 pm ---- I have driven it, mine didn't drink much at all... Yeah, I think I spent £30 return.

So I imagine a 1.4 being driven sensibly would get much better results.

How fast do you drive?
What time of day are you going?
#7: Re: rough idea anyone? Author: fatboyslim, Location: Lincolnshire,Home of the RAFPosted: Fri Mar 23, 2012 5:59 am ---- Well my CC says average mpg is 37
So to be safe say 35mpg
Journey is 80 miles
So 80/35 is 2.28gallons
1 gallon is 4.52 litres so £1.399 per litre x 4.52=£6.32 per gallon
So then multiply gallons x price per gallon 2.28 x £6.32 = £14.40
So £15 worth should cover it
#8: Re: rough idea anyone? Author: gaffa786, Location: 2 Places at oncePosted: Fri Mar 23, 2012 2:11 pm ---- Lol i tink i tink i got a iron foot cuz its a bit heavy on the peddle
No load just me.
Thanks for the replys every1 much appritiated
#9: Re: rough idea anyone? Author: Matt, Posted: Sat Mar 24, 2012 7:30 pm ---- I'd say £30 should be enough then.
