At least if I ever upgraded to a 180, my fuel consumption would be nearly the same lol. Wouldn't be too much of a shock.

Brimming my tank on the XSi 1.6 16v is £60 and from brim to just as the red light comes on I get 360 miles and thats in town and dual carriage driving.
You need to find somewhere cheaper to fill up.
Wheres the cheapest in Evesham..? I won't use the one up by the Police Station and only fill up at Tesco or Morrisons.
It's not long now till the SW is on the road so roll on the diesel and 500+ miles.
At £60 fill up that is very expensive petrol at I would guess £1.25+

My previous car was a 1.8 petrol in which I did ~14k/year, now i do ~20k/year.
You soon learn how to have a much lighter right foot in order to save yourself literally hundreds of pounds over the year. It's not all about what speed you do, it's how you get to it, and how you control it. I don't speed alot but by no means but I don't do 50 when I can do 70 legally either in order to save a few quid.
When I went up north I got ~575 miles out of a full tank, and did the 350 miles on the way back in just over 6 hours, so not exactly slow either.

320 miles, Jesus...I can get over 600 on a motorway haul, about 500 cutting about town.
And thats why diesels rule all!
i would have to agree, i managed to get from bristol to rochdale, via stoke, with a 1/4 of a tank
#25: Re: 320 miles to a full tank? Author: Addaz, Location: SuffolkPosted: Sun Nov 14, 2010 12:01 pm ---- I got almost 120 miles to 1/8th of tank - £5 to £10
( after i ran out of fuel and had to push it two miles to a petrol station )
#26: Re: 320 miles to a full tank? Author: Lodey, Location: Penzance & Falmouth CornwallPosted: Sun Nov 14, 2010 12:01 pm ---- 400miles from a really long run and maybe 200 from normal driving get in
#27: Re: 320 miles to a full tank? Author: JDave, Location: Airdrie, ScotlandPosted: Sun Nov 14, 2010 12:55 pm ---- My car is a 1.9 diesel so it doesn't make much sense I dont think. And its costing me a fair bit to keep this up!!!
Does that information change if its good or bad?
#28: Re: 320 miles to a full tank? Author: Twidly, Location: Home - Norfolk, Uni - PrestonPosted: Sun Nov 14, 2010 12:57 pm ---- It's still bad. My mum's is one of those & it would do 460 miles on £50 - £55 so almost a full tank!
#29: Re: 320 miles to a full tank? Author: MrBombHead, Location: Horchurch, Essex, LondonPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 11:39 am ---- I find that the first 1/3 of my tank goes really quick, and then makes up for it on the last 2/3's.
I've just bought my 180 GTi and I struggle to get 300 miles out of a full tank. In fact, last full tank ( brim to just as the fuel light came on ) was 260 miles.
#30: Re: 320 miles to a full tank? Author: robertmarcs, Location: carmarthenPosted: Mon Nov 15, 2010 11:43 am ---- it help putting a good quality fuel in. ill probably get shot down for this but ive been using tesco fuel for about 8-9 months now! but when the mot was due i stuck 1/2 tank of shell optimax in. and ill tell u that u CAN feel the difference. butive yet to see if it gives me any better fuel consumption.
