Abz Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Was just wondering, what is the most amount of miles you guys have managed to get out of a full tank of fuel in your Supra, might be worth noting if it is a NA, TT (BPU) or Single. Last weekend I drove from London to France (Roubaix) in the Supe and to be honest didn't fancy filling up in France unless I had too. I thought most likely will have to fill up in France on the return journey but I had a quarter tank when I was near Calais. I was only 10 miles away from home when the reserve light came on, and as I was passing a Shell I decided to fill up. I think I could have squeezed another 20 miles out of her to get 373 out of the tank but didn't fancy risking that in the name of science! This was mainly motorway driving (80%) but that included some high speed runs, including a run with a couple of motorbikes which were fun (I'll post up in the spirited drive section). TT Auto 353 Miles (Shell VPower) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mellonman Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 i got nearly 400 once at bpu. but was about 90% motor way at night and was following close behind big lorries so slow speeds too was realy trying to see what i could get and thats almost double what i get normally Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Nuts Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I got 356 last month, town driving to work and back, occasional trip to shops etc, filled back up at quater of a tank, i was really worried about this when i bought the TT, i thin k i'm using about 10 pounds a month more than i did on my old car, can't get 2nd turbo in on way to work due to traffic tho.....so its very stop start Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Havard Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 About 328 in the NA going through Wales. Not had chance to measure the TT yet but I reckon about 320 because I like the turbos too much. If we go to Le Mans next year, that would be a good time to revive this thread..!! H. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evil_Nuts Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I'm off up to Scotland soon, i'll have a bash then......its not too bad tbh, my GTO was way worse, and that wasn't even a Turbo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny g Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 I regularly get 320 on a motorway/a-road mix. If I go over to North East, via the A66, I can do Durham return and have a 1/4 tank when I get home - and that's about 310 return Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz6002 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 400 on V-power, but I've had training Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shane Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 378 on Tuesday, about 250 of that on motorways, but as it rained all day most of those miles were at 70ish. Light well and truly on now though, to the degree that I am concerened about getting to the nearest garage. BPU auto on Tesco 99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 (edited) How is this possible?? I got 165 miles to a full tank last week, yes it was town driving but i was just pootling about... If it was a full tankfull then 11 mpg approx thats heading towards trackday mpg in a bpu tt !!! Has it ever been serviced ? also check your tyre pressures;) Edited November 12, 2010 by Dnk (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 tryes are all good, it is in need of a service but was done about 3000 miles ago, its a stock TT. New o2 sensors then. Also worth checking you havent got a caliper or calipers starting to stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy-m2 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Just had to free up a caliper last week, and have the seals to replace on it, going to get that done next week.

Dnk Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 Happy to throw advice in the air mate, lets hope some new o2 sensors cure your poor mpg. When i had my 1st uk auto i went to europe in it and returned 30 mpg out of it, totally stock though and 30,000 on the clock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy-m2 Posted November 12, 2010 Share Posted November 12, 2010 The car only did 1000 miles in the last year and it needs some general TLC, including its 60K servers so I need to get on top of it. Will start with the o2 and then work from there.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
