Passat b5.5 1.8t standard: 100 miles to £20

Bare in mind fuel prices fluctuating and the 1.8t was from swansea to plymouth at around 9 leptons average.

BMW 2005 535D Touring, remapped to 330ish around 80 in town but 130ish on a quick run.

ST200 Estate heavily tuned - 60 town and around 100 on a 70mph run

ST200 Hatch, lightly tuned, 70 town. Not used on long runs so dont know.

THe beemer is the dogs danglies on long runs as it just eats the miles up without needing to stop like I had to in the 200 estate!!!!!

Ok I just worked it out, I get 53.77 miles to £20.
£20/£1.35 litre=14.815 litres
14.815=3.25884 gallons
Car averages 16.5 mpg
16.5 x 3.25884
=53.77 miles

my 02 focus tdci does about 190miles to £20
my e30 325 beemer does around 90mile.
had a saxo vtr last year as a runabout and that used to do around 160ish to £20 which i thought was great for a petrol car.

£20 in my Focus ST around town, which is all I do, would get me 65 - 70 miles approx.

I managed to squeeze 200mile's from £80 on my GTO, but was driving like noddy to get it that good....based on that though, 50miles. I know the cossie is more economical....even on the base map...which I still need to get sorted with Stu.
