Trying to work out how many miles I'll get from 20mpg?

The tank take fills to £70

averages 21mpg

Want to know how many miles I'll get from that.

Do about 500 miles a week so dunno if I can justify spending all my wages on fuel lol

My ST averages 24mpg, it costs £57 to fill up on standard unleaded, and that will do 250ish miles.

So with slightly more fuel, slightly less mpg, I reckon you'll be looking at a similar mileage!

70 quid / 1.10 a litre = 63 litres
/ 4.54 = 14 gallons

14 * 21 = 294

I do around 800 miles a week and spend far less than that.

Sounds like you made a bad choice of car
