Most I ever got out of my VTR was 405.7 miles.
That was 271 miles of Motorway driving and rest on town driving. I was pretty impressed, especially for a 1.6.

Just because of smaller engines eg 1.0 or 1.1 doesnt mean it should do more mpg, remember it takes alot more effort for these small engines to get up to optimum speeds than it does for a larger engine. Most ive had from my 1.0 is 390 miles from a tank and that was largely motorway driving. Around town use i only get 330 miles

short journeys are the worst for fuel consumption engine does not fully warm up. I drive about 2 miles to uni everyday cos i'm a lazy bastard and my fuel consumption is shocking.
