Before the first ...........

[Karl]

.............. bar dropped off at 68.6 miles i got Rachel to take a picture of the miles we had traveled today.

See the 133's are good on fuel!

So this was taken on 65.0 miles.

 

[Ollie133cup]

Thats good, My first bars usually lasts 35-40miles.

 

[weebob]

Hrrrrm about 20/25 miles. Damn my heavy right foot

 

[Andrewbss14]

I usually get 74.5 out of the first bar, i don't drive crazy i roughly drive at constant 65mph only because of the traffic i do a 68 mile round trip.

Since i got the car i always got my fuel from ASDA because it was the cheapest around, however i was 20 miles into my last bar (i always set my mileage back to zero when i hear the beep) and had no option but to pull into Tesco and fill up, i put in just over 37L with a few clicks as always, i was driving down to london the same day i filled up and i got less than 35 miles out of the first bar and roughly the same from the second bar, i hadnt changed my driving style at all, could filling up from Tesco have caused that???

 

[TURBO]

thats prob still the fuel that you got the garage to throw in when you bought the car

did you brim the tank up right to the top? i mean right to the top... it can take a fair while to brim the tank... i find if i dont then the first fuel bar is lost soon after fueling.

Speaking of that I kinda overfuelled the other day... Petrol started pouring out the tank! Told the attendant the pump must be dodgy as he now has a litre of petrol on the floor and he didn't seem to care... Meh!

Fiulled the car up till it went click on the pump.

 

[Courtney]

I filled up a tad too much and it came out onto the floor lol...

My fuelly is currently at 29.8, best I have had is 37 over a tank, worst was 25. That's all in town heavy traffic and country road blasts

One click? Well thats not to bad then! must have had a very steady drive.

 

[Karl]

45-50 all the way up the M40 :lol: Didnt want to get splattered in bugs

I worked mine out last week I think it came out at 33

 

[singlespeed]

I've never realy noticed the mileage of the first bar, but it is certainly less than 65.

Recently, I have kept a record for the the fuel going in for the past 1258 miles, which was a run down to Glasgow and back, Aberdeen and back, then the trip down to Trax. Generaly not hanging about if you know what i mean.

Average of 33.95mpg

 

[matbry01]

 

[Karl]

WOW! thats impressive

 

[Matt]

What you don't see is he did 30mph for 100 miles then sped up for the photo

But seriously, what speed were you averaging to get that?!
