what sort of milage ?

[Saxonator]

iv got a Y reg Mrk 2 VTR and i think its guzzling more petrol than it should be ?

on a full tank i can get about 270 miles out of it i mean surely i should be able to get more out of it than that ?

how far can you VTR drivers get out of yours on a full tank ?

i get about 280-300 from my Furio mate so i wouldn't worrysmileys/happy.gif

[Sean]

mk1 vtr, 350 to a tank smileys/happy.gif

[Saxonator]

have you got an induction kit or owt Sean ?

[Saxonator]

Also i dunno if this is a common thing but the needle that tells ya how much fuel you have left is a bit fucked as i had just turned about 200 miles an it was just under half so being me i thought i could of gotten another 100-150 miles out of it atleast

[Sean]

yes, just got a shitty pipercross induction kit atm, but i don't really drive it with my foot to the floor all that often. it depends if you do a lot of inner city driving or open road/motorway driving. try giving it a good service and/or using some injector cleaner or fuel additive.

[oz_borne]

isn't it electronically set, so that when you turn off the car, and it resets to the new levle.

mine goes off the drive and is one level, turn it off at the lights and it resets anbout a quarter of a tank lower.

shitroen. nuff said

i'l second that ^^^^^^^. i've given up trying to second guess my fuel gauge. i just reset my trip gauge every time i fill up, then when it reaches 300miles i refill him. smileys/happy.gif

[saxx]

i can get 400 to a tank

my needle doesnt move then all of a sudden it drops and the fuel light comes on!!

[Saxonator]

yeah thats what mines like, its kinda full then i look at it in 5 mins an its like just over half full

i sometimes think iv got a leak or sumthin it drops so dramatic sumtimes

Sean- it is due a service so guess i will be getting it sorted soon

[saxx]

citroen will say its normal

[Saxonator]

i ment the servicing will be sorted lol

il ask them to have a look at the sensor as long as they dont charge me lol

[Scott]

my record is 472 smileys/smiley4.gif

[JayWard]

jesus! 472! thats mad..fair play tho..i can only dream of that sorta mileage lol smileys/smiley17.gif

[wideboy]

most i got was 360ish with my old vtr

that was 60mph country roads tho

[SteVTR]

i just put 20-30 quid in every monday n friday dont really use the petrol gauge unless i go down country or something because its useless the damn things like a yo yo smileys/smiley7.gif

think the best i got when i had the vtr engine in was about 380ish but that was all very carefull driving i got 80 miles to half a tank on sat playing with a CTR on way to forton services from carlisle

[Yates]

best i got was 350 then light came on, they are shit tho, ive had the light come on, drivin them park up n wen i get back in the car its back to 1/4 of a tank

[Saxonator]

well i put £20 in it on monday an it filled it right up just under full an its hardly moved, i do some motorway miles then house estates thru to college so quite rare i get to go flat out on a motorway for it to be guzzling the fuel

i know this sounds stupid but why dont we all fill our tanks up sunday monday morn an then re-set our milage counter to see which of us guzzle the most fuel ?

just an idea as pretty bord here at college lol

[Scott]

i do it every fill up to monitor it

[Neil_Saxo]

i get about 330miles out of ma y reg mk2 vtr. thats with a bmc induction kit and magnex exhaust. got the same when it was standard 2.

i ma record is about 400miles.

check out this site
http://www.carnet.co.uk/guide/citroensaxo.html

going on these stats mpg is:

vtr 42.2 = 357 miles to a tank max
vts 33.2 = 280 miles to a tank max

[mike_obuk]

those figures are never really accurate, but its possible to get that much.

most ive managed was the other weekend, 480 miles from a tank, all motorway tho, 60mph all they time, sometimes lower! following my friend who is the slowest driver i know! lol

[Scott]

462 miles this tank

[VTaaRon]

im up to 275 with 1/4 left tho the last 1/4 always goes the fastest!

[tim84]

Go for sum weight reduction, bit more mileage then.

[Cam.]

330 miles on a tank every week, generally foot to the floor on the motorway though, best I have had is 420 but that was when the engine was missing like mad!!

The fuel indicator doesnt seem to move for the first 200 miles then drops to half way on start up?

VTR Mark (have no idea!!) Y reg!!

[l1ukeRS]

just readin this i think mine may be a bit fucked, im on 200 miles with ony 1/4 tank left and i normally only get bout 270 ish off 30 quid, my exhaust is a bit blowing tho, gtta wait for me m8 3 get bak with the welder lol, will this affect it that much, but its due a service that i missed cud this be it?
cheers luke

[Saxonator]

iv filled mine right up to brim £35 quids worth and re set the milage thing an put some of that cleaner fluid you put in with the fuel to see if that will make a difference

mines also due for a service and has been due since about 20000 miles ago lol

[drew]

my guage is crap also. if i park on a hill (nose up) and then start up, it's empty, even while driving along on the flat for say 15 minutes, it doesn't level out that much. also, its more sensitive when i'm getting low, there's not much movement on a full tank!
