Default Miles to a tank of fuel?

Right im looking at getting a escort cossie sometime this year and I was just wondering how many miles can you get to a tank of fuel just driving along the motorway doing about 80-85 mph? What sort of revs are you looking at at the speed? Also roughly how much does it cost to fill up from empty?

If economy really is an issue, then an esc cossy is not for you!

50-55 quid 2 fill her up m8, as for cruising along the motorway very rarely happens 4me, either flat out or in convoy if you want economy buy a diesel bud

Default Escot cosworth mpg

Hi
I always get 300 miles plus from my stage 1 2wd sapphire cosworth that's 60 litre tank full to empty
I have herd MSD do a closed loop system that can give even better mpg
I think its not so much about the speed but the way you get there is gentle acceleration work's wonder's
