I have been known to do as little as 40miles to a tenner, but also I have done 85miles to a tenner. All depends how you drive it, any car will drink juice if you screw it. I didnt notice much difference between GSi engine and XE when driving reasonably steady.

Depends how you drive it really !!
If you think about it though, you've got a big engine pulling a small car so it doesn't have to work as hard to get it moving !?
My 16v GSi used to do about 280 miles to a tank - just general driving !
If your gonna kick its ares every where then your probly looking about 170 - 190 to a tank !!

well 50 miles to a tenner was for driving slow to work an uni, when i nail it it it only lasts minutes :lol:

56mph @ 56mph

they use no fuel at all if u can run on only the first 'choke' and in a stripped nova with f20 thats about 70mph

bloody hell lads these figures are pretty low. i was gettin a good 30 mpg on the LET nova. full interior etc. running standard boost levels that was. the fuel consumption should be excellent as these engines are labouring at all pullin a wee nova along

50 miles to a tenner driving slow,surely theres something wrong with your engine?
I get 80-90 miles on a tenner of optimax.even if leathered everywhere it would do more than 50 miles!
