Default Miles from £10 of fuel?

As above, no real reason, just interested in what fuel economy folk are returning? (Yes i know fuel prices vary, but a rough answer is good enough)

Im about 70miles to £10 in my 325i, right down to 35 or 40 if i get the shoe in.

in the Evo between 25 and 37 miles depending on driving style but its fun

in the daily driver, 1.0 Polo only had to fill it up once so that works out at just over 100 miles to a tenner
