How many miles do you get to a tank??

[Peter76]

About 190 - 200 ish in my Exige S. About 100 on track on Monday which sounds quite good by all acounts.

[gambler]

well if its any consolation to you guys. My impreza gets about 4mpg on track.

M3 could manage 10 on track

[Scotty C]

150 on road runs. close to 250 on M-way below 90.

I think I hold the record of 6 fills in one day. 4 on track and 2 driving home from Snetterton. Oh that was a long day.

[ClarkyBoy]

i used close on 5 full tanks on the 050709 trip....that was only 630 miles....you do the maths

and i have a billy basic S2!

yes avg of 126 miles per tank.......mind you the lambda sensor is gone!

[tut]

One behind on Monday, four on Track and one driving home, but just for 140 miles.

Thirsty buggers on track.

Clark was filling up twice to my once. 118hp v 280.

Can't remember whether the loss of the lambda under heavy loads would make a diff or not...from what I recall, its biggest role is to adjust fuel mixture during light throttle or cruise? And I doubt either of you were doing much of that

[Shug]

Yup - light throttle and cruise. Although without it, in those conditions it just reverts to chokingly rich for safety, so might well lead to that sort of mental consumption.

Just a quick update on the fuel situ.......109 miles before running clean out of petrol tonight! Dumb ass! The fuel light doesn't give you much warning!
By the sounds of things i'm driving it as hard as some do on track, i'll have to chill out!

Weekend has landed though, weather permittng I'll be out for a long run tomorrow so we'll see how far i get then.
Perhaps bump into some of you guys on the lecht road over the weekend.

(10mpg is about right for the M3.....the computer thing read an average of 8mpg on my last ring trip with it!)

[neil]

That doesn't sound right. It's not possible to run it as hard on the road as on track. Have you checked for holes in your tank?

[fd]

Assume you know Craig . . . I expect it may well be possible . . .

[neil]

Ok, there are exceptions to every rule

[craignicol]

Assume you know Craig . . . I expect it may well be possible . . .

Great photo Fergus! I don't always drive like that....honest

Just back in from a good blat....car understeers like a mofo at high speeds! think a geometry check is on the cards.

You at Fintray Fd??

[neil]

250.2 out of my last tank. 251 would have been less embarrassing

[Tom]

Normal driving/commuting or whatever I easily get 300-330 (boggo S1). A few fills ago I left Helensburgh on refill, and got to the Green Welly at 375 miles. Think I still had a gallon in the tank so I'd reckon on 400 to a tank. Not brave enough to run it that low though. I tend to fill it up when refill comes on.
