What size is your fuel tank? Can't really calculate it until you've done a complete tankful of driving - if thats anything like my fuel tank, the half mark is really about 1/3 lol

standard nova tanks are 41 litre i think, therefore it will be roughly 20 litres.

One gallon - 4.54609 litres.

Therefore you have used 4.54609 / 20 = 4.399 gallons.

You have done 365 miles.

So 365 / 4.399 = 82.97 mpg


I wouldnt trust a nova fuel gauge so give that a lovely error margin of about 20% lol. So anywhere between 69mpg and 100mpg.

dunno the mpg.

Ive covered just over 300miles from the 20quid of derv I put in mine last weekend.

Gauge was showing very empty & went to Plymouth & back on ?20 + all last weeks commuting. Trip was at 309 miles when I had to refill.
