Yes it is rather a lot. I think you're not driving fast enough, god mileage though.

I did a tank in about 146 miles the other night.

I get 8 miles to a tank....but then it's only a one gallon tank. Fuel comsumption leaves a lot to be desired though

Edited 'cause I'm dislexic

I don't think any of us "buy" petrol, it's simply a case of renting the stuff for a few miles ! I reckon 150-175 is about average for me
