Default miles per tank?

How many miles do you get out of a tank of fuel? I have a version 6 type r and get around 220 steady driving, does this sound about right.

Sounds about right, I get less than 300 driving like a nun and with a bit of a heavy foot 150 or so. Of course, it is possible to get way less.

170 usually 8 mile town trip daily though. 05 STi 330bhp. "How much to the tank" doesn't really mean anything though. Scoobs have different tank sizes etc etc. Record your mpg if your worried about fuel usage Mines ~16mpg

200 miles if purely town driving
240 ish if a lot of 'steady' motorway miles.

less than 200 when I drive like a man and put my right foot down

how are you guys measuring a tank? because i get 180-200 from full to the last quarter mark where i always fill up as ive heard you can get fuel surge.. this is normal everyday local driving..

is everyone measuring them this way or too the fuel light?

sigh u cant measure to a tank level or the light, it's very inaccurate! Measure by amount of litres put in since the last fill! Do the lil calc n get your mpg.

Mine to just the fuel light on and only just coming on, but normally just before the light comes on, but never any fuel surge.
