What sort of milage should i be getting?

[Cheeze]

Ok guys i have a 1600 gte that i use back and forward to work 40 miles both ways. what sort of milage should i get from a tank if its driven easy.

silly question i know lol :lol:

[jamie gsi16v]

id say bout 250 miles depending on how hard you drive?

[orange_andy]

im lucky if i get anything over 140mile, crappy sr carb, i get about 50-60m on 11litres AWFULL!!!

[loggyboy]

in my SRI, a ?30 fill up would get me 300miles.
in my 2.0 16v, a ?30 fill up would get me 200 miles

both driven very hard 90% of the time! :lol:

in my SRI, a ?30 fill up would get me 300miles.


how you manage that, i just about made 220, motorway miles, and few a roads, froma full tank in my sri

[loggyboy]

id guess it must have been set up better?
i know it was definately that as the petol gauge didnt work well so i went by mileage instead.

[orange_andy]

so 100 miles on around 11litres thats crazy mate, think it might be exagerated, i only got about 85mile in my 1.6 which cruised down the motorway, and me mates diesel does about 100m, never mind before the cars are driven hard.

350 miles in 1.2

275 miles in 1.4 with weber 32/34 (both chokes open mostly :lol: )

300 miles in standard gsi

dont know, mine used to run sweet, had the F10 box on it though, so dont know if that made any difference

[orange_andy]

do you rekon there is something wrong with mine then, as i only get about 55miles on 10litres, and a round trip of 120 mile cost around ?50

[Will]

something is defo wrong for that kind of miles!

i remember the best we got was ?10 of fuel polished off in 9 miles in breenys old SR 1.6 T40, was a funny old run ;)

[orange_andy]

ill tek it to a diagnosis or something, haha 9 miles for ?10 did he cry, or just drive off with a hole in his petti tank lolol

[Riggy]

well ive had 320 out of ?35 since friday

although i todont know how much i have left since my sender is broke :lol:

[Dan]

mine with a mix of raping and 'normal' driving always returns 230-250 miles to the tank

[Adam]

I've never put a full tank in mine,lol.
I usually get about 70-80 miles with ?10 worth.

[Snowface]

i used to get 333miles on a 1.2 with a Pierburg 2e3

[Cheeze]

well i seem to get about 180 miles from a half tank and driving it fairly easy. how low in the red can you go before it is totally dry? my pump was a kinda making funny noises last nite wi it about half way through the red part

[Will]

you can go till it cuts out

then you are out of fuel :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

[Adam]

I usually dont let mine get to the red on the guage, incase the guage is slightly wrong.
Theres a light on the guage on my clocks, but i think theres only about 2/3L in the tank when the light comes on.

Take it was low as you dare take it, but i would rather have half a tank and know i have enough fuel, than risk it and run out half way there,lol.

[Snowface]

iirc the red part on guage is your last Gallon.

[SRimon]

I thought the petrol light worked on miles dials...

lol SRi dials i got 30 miles on the red bit (XE)

ATM i have a fucked lambda, and am getting 18MPG

[vauxdan]

just bought a bog standard gsi from oldam put 15 quid to get me home since then ive done 125 miles still got bit left cant believe it my self

[orange_andy]

bollox,. well im getting mine sorted, "55miles on a ?10, on a standard 1.4sr apart from exhaust, seems bad
