Newbie Thinking Of Buying A Is

[squarehead]

Just to add to the mileage saga....I always get about 400 out of a tank but that is from full to empty and I usually fill her up on a 1/4 of a tank. Tried Optimax, made no performance difference at all IMO, the only difference was my bank balance and a psycological feeling of power.....

From full to half a tank always shows approx 200 miles, and that's caining the car sometimes, some town driving and doing speeds on the motorway.

The other point I would like to add is after my 60k service I drove from Chester to Bridgewater and back a couple of days later and that's a 200 mile round journey. I left the tank until the light came on and I'd recorded 460 miles!

This business about 80 miles for £20 is mad! £20 gets me about a 1/3 of a tank which equates to 133 miles, I can prove it no problemo. If your petrol costs £60 for a tank and you get 80 miles for £20 that works out at 240 miles to a tank - must be town driving all the time!

If it's that bad then I'd suggest you check your air filter & plugs.

Can't understand the very poor mpg figures myself :duh:

My weekly fuel spend is about the same as my old car which had a trip computer that used to tell me I'm averaging about 30mpg.

Gonna have to try and calculate it properly one day
