Vtr Mpg.....

[bridgesvtr90]

put a tenner in my VTR monday morning, 47 miles later, fuel light on again....

don't know if its the weather or what but that sounds like shite mpg.

what are people getting out of their VTR's?

[VTR-Chris-VTR]

Ive got 200miles out of my VTR on £20 so basicly 100 miles out of £10 but that was bk in june

But that was driving on long distances not around town

around town id say roughly 60miles maybe

It all depends on how you drive. if u pull away quickly then its gonna use abit of fuel

[hard_corejoeboy]

200 miles from half tank of petrol (20 litresish)

[VTR-Chris-VTR]

200 miles from half tank of petrol (20 litresish)


Same as me :y: was nearly full tank then on halfway mark i hit around 200miles

[hard_corejoeboy]

Saying that though i swear the first half of the tank goes slower than the 2nd half even though it makes the car heavier!

[makaveli144]

Thats is pretty crap. mines like that sometimes, did 22miles on a fiver. But usually its around the 100miles on a tenner mark.

[Mapster]

Yeah i think people normally get around 90/100 miles for a tenner.. i know thats what i get.

[Wayne]

i get roughly 80 to 90 miles on a tenner.

[David]

Full tank = 432 miles from town driving. :A:

[jaybiss]

330 tank? around that

i always fill up before the red light comnes on anyways

[VTR_Craig]

Full tank = 432 miles from town driving. :A:

I did 450 miles and the light had just come on but that as motorway driving at 50mph lol

[jonny13_vtr]

mine only gets about 50 to a tenner. its overfueling at the min tho

[grantlowery]

about 90 miles to a tenner I think

[hard_corejoeboy]

If i get 200 miles out of half tank whats my miles per gallon?

[Scattle]

70-80 miles to tenner.

[VTR-Chris-VTR]

Saying that though i swear the first half of the tank goes slower than the 2nd half even though it makes the car heavier!

Yeh i agree with u........i also found this happens on mine

[theshrew69]

If i get 200 miles out of half tank whats my miles per gallon?

I think you work it out like this i can never remember

half a tank lets say = £20
£20 fuel 19.61L at 102p per L
19.6L = about 4.3 galon
200 miles = 46.51 MPG

Think thats how you do it. That sounds to high tho really is yours a VTR / S

Id say a average petrol car should be getting between 32 - 38 MPG

[theshrew69]

Yeh i agree with u........i also found this happens on mine

This is the case i have found on all my cars

[Pat_Vts]

mine is roughly the same as everyone else... but i have noticed bottom half goes quicker than top half of petrol for some reason... or is this just me being paranoid about petrol?

[Barry123]

cost me 50 focking quid to fill up the other day.

oh weeelllll

[Barry123]

yeah your right. the saxo fuel gauge is about as accurate as the speedo

[hard_corejoeboy]

200 miles = 46.51 MPG

46.51? Schweet!!! Yeh its a VTR... I do spend most of my life in 5th gear tho lol

Has your car ever been over 1300 rpm :panic: :panic: :panic:

[platty]

rarely do i get much more than 50-60 miles from a tenner. Depends what driving you do.

Keeping it under 3000 revs really helps.

Mines suffers from constant start stop, now more than 10 miles in one go.

Its been like this since i've had it, but 'ive had 40 mpg from keeping around 70 on the motorway.

[hard_corejoeboy]

Has your car ever been over 1300 rpm :panic: :panic: :panic:

Oh yeah at the lights 6000 all the way baby! lol

[dan_87]

yeah mine took £54 of v power a few weeks ago,
get about 80-90 miles to a tenner

[Mr_X]

i get around 350 miles from a full tank, how ever i drive

[xcore]

theres fuel in the filler neck pipe thingy that leads to the tank so you have abit more then is gauged for the first half

[Sophia_Bush]

so general consensus is that to £10 you should average about 90miles if you are doing dual carriage way / mway driving and with stop start town and country drivng aroun 75miles? and to a full tank around 330-380miles?

[Barry123]

because of the overdrive on the VTR I'd expect around 110-120miles to a tenner really dude

[Luke]

£15 in the Focus yesterday, 70 miles later the fuel light is back on.

Winter sucks.

[alextoffie]

thats quite a lot mpg really

i did about 90 miles today on a tenner to lancaster and back from bolton... was a fair bit of traffic on the way back so quite a bit of stop / starting

[Barry123]

at a constant 70mph i cant see why it wouldnt do 110-120 miles dude

i used this and made 31.4 mpg with an open induction kit so not too bad, alot of my journeys are quite short,(meaning too far to walk but not giving the car long enough to warm up for a long enough time to benifit)

and when it does warm up i go for a play

[Jimshoes]

when i was learning in my car i got aboot 100 miles but now av passed i put the foot down a bit more n get aboot 80. not to bad

[bridgesvtr90]

£10 lasted 25miles on friday, driving like a cun*. but ive lasted 70 mile on ten quid so far driving normally, and pumped up types which maybe helped.

[Tony]

I thought i had a problem when i was getting similar miles from £10.

The solution?

To fill the tank up and then see how much i was getting from a tank rather than £10.

Try it and if you get around 280+miles then you're car is fine.

[Karl]

tenner normally gets me (VTS) about 50-80 miles average.

[bridgesvtr90]

£20 lasted me 134.8 and that was driving like a petrol saving bastard :( something must be wrong

how were you trying man?

[Pat_Vts]

redlining every now and then when he was bored;)

[nazz1]

from light on £20 inserted and back to light got about 150 miles

thats driving around town alot and short trips

[gartrell]

im doing about 25mpg,

i work about a mile away and combined with the cold weather, its killing my mpg, big time.

[medz_vtrturbo]

i get a smooth 28 miles from 10 quid. obviously i give it stick, but driving sensibly i'll get about 38 miles.

[saxo_2004]

well i have a 2.0i 16v subaru legacy non turbo and £15 gets me about 70 miles.

[bridgesvtr90]

how were you trying man?

coasting, in highest gear poss, smooth and slow round town etc.

[Barry123]

coasting is bad um-k :)

im guessing you only did short distances if it was town driving?

mpg sounds ok, but the cold weather and short journeys is going to hammer it severely

ads :)

i read your guide awhile ago lol all round town, cold mornings and late nights. worked it out and its around 30mpg which aint to bad, all things considering.

[Berg]

dude i was previously since i owned my vtr getting 70-75 miles to 10 quid

and recently mines suddenly dropped to 45 ish to tenner

i think somethings wrong with mine tbh, smeels really fuelly, like an old 4 star petrol car,
definately overfuelling for me

u get fuel smells? smoke? or anything like that

no mate, only thing i can think of with mine that isnt right is airbox keeps coming lose, which may hurt it a bit, maybe.

noticed mine is smoking a fair bit :panic:

[Tony]

Did you try what I said and filled the car up or just kept putting in small amounts?!
