Can get more than 300 and thats not driving like an old man either!

Either you have a small tank, or your using a heck of a lot of fuel!

Check engine for twin carbs. :D

make sure your fuel lines arent leaking, all the 2.0l weve bought have all had quite bad fuel leaks due to people using wrong connections.

I get 220 miles from ?25, this is redlining in every gear everytime i go out.
This is why I love the valver, cheap petrol and good performance.

Completely off the topic but I would be pleased with that, I had a 1.4 SR which did 44 miles to a tenner! Can't wait to see what my GSi lump will do.

?30 to fill?

4.54 litres in a gallon
81.9p a litre

30/0.819 = 36.63litres/4.54 = 8.068 gallons

225 miles / 8.068 = 27.89 MPG

assuming it is ?30 you put in the car?

OK.....

?20 to fill?

4.54 litres in a gallon
81.9p a litre

20/0.819 = 24.42litres/4.54 = 5.38 gallons

150 miles / 5.38 = 27.89 MPG

Same as doing 250 miles on ?30!

that is on par with most MPi 2.0l engines
