How many miles do you recon a 1.4 8v petrol engine would do on a tank of petrol, just normal town driving?
cheers

Author: devotedsniper, Location: Tamworth, StaffordshirePosted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 2:54 pm ---- Mine does 300-350 to 3 quarters depending on my driving and going off my app i get 46mpg at best, 44 on average and 37 with the aircon on those figures were with a dead head gasket too so i can probably get more now.
*EDIT* Probably should have mention i have a 1.4 8v Last edited by devotedsniper on Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:06 pm; edited 1 time in total

Author: kurosagi01, Location: NorthamptonPosted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 2:59 pm ---- i get about 300-350 depending how short and stop start traffic i get on my 1.1 8v on £40 petrol at 1.349 litre,i only drive to school/college,gym and other short journeys needed. Furthest is 50miles at one day randomly. Normally last me a month or so.

#6: Re: How many miles in a tank? Author: ramigojag, Location: worcestershirePosted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:21 pm ---- How do you lot drive?
With careful driving i can get around 350 out of a full tank on my 180.
With the occasional B road blast i can get around 300
In my old saxo VTR i used to be able to get 450 out of a full tank that was a 1.6 8v quite similar engine to the 206
#7: Re: How many miles in a tank? Author: Ash, Location: Running from Ant and Lee and Adam...........Posted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:27 pm ---- A tank isn't very big. I'd say a meter.. Not miles.

The OP is talking about town driving, lots of stop starting. B roads and steady speed cruising will give better returns
#9: Re: How many miles in a tank? Author: ramigojag, Location: worcestershirePosted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:31 pm ---- i work a mile from my house so i do alot of stop start town driving in that a full tank can last me about a month or so
#10: Re: How many miles in a tank? Author: Andrew, Location: Black Country Ay IPosted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 3:49 pm ---- Lucky! I think on another mpg thread it was apparant that 180s were getting just as good if not better mpg than 1.1s and 1.4s
Probably because the engine doesn't have to work as hard to make the same power
#11: Re: How many miles in a tank? Author: 206Mike, Location: ManchesterPosted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 4:04 pm ---- Jheeze! 20 quid will get me about 100 miles, at a push. Eco driving and everything
Think my engine is just s**te, 1.4 8v same as OP's
:/

#14: Re: How many miles in a tank? Author: Nosvartu, Location: HarrogatePosted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 4:22 pm ---- My 1.1 does nothing i heard if you want better mpg the 1.6 is better. Is this true???
#15: Re: How many miles in a tank? Author: macca1411, Location: Westhoughton, LancashirePosted: Thu Dec 08, 2011 4:23 pm ---- I'm averaging 12.19l / 100 miles which as far as I can work out is about 30 mpg
