The how much you can get out of one tank thread

[manta]

Hi guys and girls of saxp I'm going to be carrying out a test over the next week or 2 weeks to see how many miles you can get out of a tank.

So every day near enough (its me remember) I will post the kind of driving I have been doing and a picture of my clocks.

So here is the shitbox I will be using

1.1 eastcoast 1999 (54bhp apparently)

And here are my clocks for todays driving.

Mostly been eco driving but did have to overtake a couple of learners doing 20 in a 40 zone.

Bit of a pointless thread but hey it will show you what you can get out of a 1.1 saxo if you really try now that times are hard etc.

[crustyclown777]

i have a 1.1, i will watch this as it will save me doing it. lol

[Morgzc]

You should have asked for petrol money to conduct the experiment "for the benefit of all saxo owners" :P

[djflipsaxo]

I have a 306 HDI.
bout 45miles to a gallon

[Prickle]

i manged 160 miles from a tank, well nearly empty. Not a saxo though... 1.0 micra

I assume thats good? :D

[djflipsaxo]

[Prickle]

Smaller engines do have more work to do though?

[KamRacing]

fair play mate :) and tbf I brimmed it near enough anyways

[Pieface]

Put in a full tank 1 1/2 months ago. Still got a quarter left...

[Manu]

Out of a 1.1 ? Did 600 miles once without touching the reserve. Otherwise, it's as bad as your left foot is heavy.

[Morgzc]

Ive done nearly 500 since i got mine an put about £70 in which works out at...
39.2928584 mpg

[VTR_Craig]

that was my effort in my old 1.1 forte

Still think i could have reached 500

[WestCoastJosh]

sell me your spolier! cant find them anywhere lol.
good luck mate should be good to see what they can get, mines a 1.6 so i get about 25mpg if i drive economically?

[Morgzc]

You're doing something wrong lol.

[WestCoastJosh]

lol with the driving style? or looking for the spoiler?
i dont care about my mpg to be honest i drive wherever i need to go andf fill up when i petrol. simple

[dav0506]

I got just less than 400 miles for a full tank
Saxo VTR mk2
Mostly town driving

[Meto]

Mines pretty rubbish really. Driving quite economically I can expect 40mpg. Although that was with 30 stones worth of people in the car so its swings and roundabouts.

Also after a quarter of a tank, the fuel guage seems to drop towards the red at an alarming rate.

[gavin_t]

Including a 15 min track session at mallory park last weekend I got this

VTS with a few mods



Usually see around 260 per tank as I spend alot of time in traffic :homme:

[wardesaxoboy]

i average about 350miles a tank in my furio :S but that is mainly sitting in traffic :(

[TomBob]

Look at all you lot and your flashy rev counters.:homme: I plan to fit one to my car sometime soon :)

And rob your car is the EXACT same as mine. I've got the spoiler and everything, although I'm rolling on some genuine citroen hubcaps :cool:

[Aly]

2 years ago I put £10 in my dads 307 2.0 HDI when the light was on. I did 150 miles until the low fuel light come on again. I thought that was a good return considering the tank can hold 68 litres.

[silver-saxo-sewell]

[0rang3peel]

I get 300-400 miles per tank, in a VTR costs me £51 to fill up from empty :)

Lead foot?

[chrisbrown2005]

i get around 400 - 460 miles before the light comes on in my 1.1 after filling her up

[djflipsaxo]

So what would you get more mpg out of?
A 2.0 diesel HDI engine or a 1.4 petrol engine?

I used a 1.4 golf cl for the week and it was poor on fuel. But it idled very low so needed more welly to pull away lol.

[Sparky26]

I can get about 350 miles out of my mark 2 vtr saxo if i brim it :D

[maddison_vts]

i get roughly 350 miles to a tank in a 230bhp vts.

[Philly1983]

I normally get about 400 from my VTR, completely standard atm, ive had 500 from my last mk2 VTR.

[manta]
