quick fuel question

[coldo1987]

just looking for a close estimate on how many miles you could get from a full tank in a vtr providing you take your time for the full journey and not putting the foot down. reason is im planning on driving down to england in August and its a 200mile jouney.thanks folks

On 45 litre tank:
i'd expect 500 easy if you're strict.
realistically it depends on your cruise speed on the motorway
but 420-500 if 65-75

yeh well not planning on putting the foot down too much as i want the fuel to last me as much as possible. i was expecting to have to fill the tank twice at least for a 200mile journey and 200 back home

when im trying for silly mileage... i set myself targets using the fuel gauge.
First one) 100 miles before needle moves
second one) 170 before the needle is out of the thick white
third one) 300 miles on 3/4's full

and so on.

try it for yourself

to much time on your hands by sounds of it lol.i've never bother counting the mileage im getting to the tank mainly why i've asked the question in the first place. so going on a total 400 mile road trip you think i could be lucky on doing it on a full tank?

well, its gets pretty boring doing 4 hour drives all the time.. knocking one out is out of the question really, so no other alternatives other than to clock my mileage.

yeah man, just fill the tank right up to the brim not just the clicky thing. then drive steadily.
