As the title states I would like to hear the following from my fellow PH posters.

When your car is near empty how much does it cost to fill it?

What is the mpg of your car stated by the manufacture and does it come close?

Kicking off my daily is a Suzuki Swift 1.2 Attitude. Yes it has no attitude.

To fill the car it cost £42.00.

The MPG is actually pretty spot on.

Suzuki state 56.5 mpg and I am getting 52.2 MPG.

Don't believe the computer on your Swift it's around +5mpg to +7mpg off an actual fill it and zero the trip calculation, my 1.2 and now Sport both over read about the same.
So that's why it seemed so good frown

Cheers mate.

How? I've never understood people who think like this. If the tank was twice as big and cost twice as much to fill, it'd take you twice as far... So no difference in cost at all. If you're that skint you'd just put half a tank in at a time. I don't get it.


+1

Got me there biggrin
