dandan Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 What do you think chaps, with mixed driving (some motorway, round town, steady cruising, and of course some ramping it) I managed to achieve 25.6mpg, getting 290miles out of 3/4 of a tank (51litres). This was with Optimax, at 1.0bar, lower decat, Trial exhaust. I was happily surprised. Not bad??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pulse Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 My record is 260 miles from a tank (which was 260 miles down a motorway from one services to another on my way .. somewhere), so you've done bloody well -p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve W2 Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Dan, Thats sounds pretty good to me. I will get 290 miles to a full tank on a standard set-up if I'm lucky and have been 'nice'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick_Devlin Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Thats pretty good. I was getting 30mpg on a steady (70mph) motorway run before any mods... its considerably less now though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 I think i could easily manage over 310, as i said this was only 3/4 tank and i had a long journey ahead and had to fill up. how big are the uk and jap tanks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dandan Posted December 2, 2003 Author Share Posted December 2, 2003 blimey, i had around 19 litres left then,seen as i topped up to full with 51litres. could've easily squeezed another 50 miles with enough left to be safe. i think my normal top up when running low is about 60litres Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Cargill Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 My last tankful, mainly motorway returned 24MPG, covering 300 miles - the best I've ever done!! Normally I get about 18. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted December 2, 2003 Share Posted December 2, 2003 Hmmmm, I'm currently doing about 170 miles to a tank, but then most of that is blatting it around town. I think I can stretch to around 230 on a trip. Ben.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oxygene Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I get 300-310 miles from a tank most times, usually get 340-360 on a motorway run. This is travelling at a speed of 85mph maybe 90ish. I did a test a while back, travelling at 70mph on the dot and the most got from a tank was 370-390, but that was with little turbo usage. Last outing for my car on saturday before she goes into Abbey Motorsport for some repairs on monday:( Its not going to be cheap either Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 i got 140 miles on 1/8th of a tank on a trip from liverpool to middlesbro...........in my golf TDi tho lol u lot seem to have a big range in ur fuel usage! how much a week wud a 75 mile trip mon to fri cost, unmodded 96 TT6 apart from a decent exhaust and takin it pretty easy and not usin too much turbo? tryin to decide whether to get a supra in july or get a bike instead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Not sure about the consumption on your trip, but my consumption is quite high, but then I use the turbos as often as for as long as possible, I just can't help it, if I wasn't supposed to, then Toyota wouldn't have put them there in the first place. Ben.. P.S. I have intellistart and always allow the car to flow oil before driving, and normally wait until it reaches just below operating temp before driving it hard.
