#2: Re: How far does £20 get you? Author: tomd0801754, Location: MoscowPosted: Fri May 06, 2011 2:07 pm ---- 20 is half a tank? eh?! how small is your tank?

Hows bigs your tank?
I fill mine when light comes on, last time was £62 to fill it, so half tank is £31, i get about 450 to a tank, so on those figures, i get 150 miles roughly to £20.

#8: Re: How far does £20 get you? Author: drunknmunky, Location: Blackburn and CatterickPosted: Fri May 06, 2011 2:25 pm ---- £20 is nowhere near half a tank im sorry to say, unless your petrol prices are less than 110p a litre
but to answer your question from £20 i get roughly 85-90 miles and i drive a 180 too and have a heavy right foot
might wanna give yours a good service and so on if not done so recently as it doesnt sound good to me
p.s half a tank is more like £33 with current prices you can work it out on a calculator if you need to
I suppose this also depends on type of driving though as mine is all national speed limit a roads and country roads to and from north yorkshire once a week, buti admit i can smash £20 of fuel in a week at work just running to and from the local tesco and take aways and so on so can see where your figures could come from

#45: Re: How far does £20 get you? Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Sat May 07, 2011 4:02 pm ---- I don't use it that often. It just sits there looking pretty. Done about 60 mile this week (that's only because had to nip and see the parents). Normally its about 15 a week (Asda and back). The car itself has only done 56000, just a shame it wasn't looked after by its last keeper.
