How far on 20 pound?

Postby carpetmonster » Fri Mar 19, 2010 9:56 pm

Just thought it would be interesting to see how many miles you get on 20 pound?

I get 120 knocking about.

mines an auto, around town about 80 miles, on a mixture of roads about the 120 mark and on a motorway run about 130.

I reckon that Ive been getting about 130; which is typical weekly commuting, in a lightly tuned Mk5 2.5 manual. Think this equates to about 42mpg? My maths isnt as good as it used to be! :lol:

all be a lot less by the end of next week from what i have been reading ( they are predicting £1.24 /litre )

at £1.06 / L(last time i filled up i have been getting around 120 /£20 this will be down to round 106 at new price :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

as my van is just used as a big car with room to sit in the back when fishing , its getting hard to justify when i was getting 68 / gall from a vectra diesel that would do most of the same job for me :( :( :(


still way better than the granny estate i had a few years ago , 18 to the gall round town if i was very careful and only a 2 L , my old 2.9 granny used to give me 26 !!!
