Your best, average and worst miles per tank thread...
Discussion
1991 Vauxhall Astra 1.4 mk2 (4-speed)
Best: 47 mpg (3-up, fully loaded. Pretty chuffed with that!
)
Average: 41 mpg
Worst: 23 mpg (Just passed my test, so I was a tad enthusiastic. Car was running rough too to be fair, first time I worked it out
)
Fuel gauge is a bit random so tend to fill up after 350 miles or so to be safe.

First tank on 350Z... not that bad, but pretty thirsty compared with previous cars.
£93 of V-Power (roughly 65 litres) - 320 miles. Approx 23 MPG. It seems to do ~ 30 MPG on a run, and 25 on the way to work and back.
Worsts:-
Eunos Roadster RS-Limited with MP45 supercharger, power card, no extra timing tweeks, running low boost - 17 MPG. Average = 25 MPG. High = 34 MPG. Average and high were without SC BTW. It would never achieve those figures with it on without the timing tweaking properly.
Renault Sport Clio 182 - 22 MPG on a Pistonheads run. Average = 28 MPG. High = 38 MPG.
Integra Type-R DC2 98-spec - 20 MPG on a Pistonheads run. Average = 25 MPG. High = 35 MPG.
Skoda Fabia vRS - Standard - 25 MPG. Average = 38 MPG. High = 56 MPG.
VW Golf GTI Mk2 8v - Standard - Worst = 25 MPG. Average = 32 MPG. High = 38 MPG.
Nissan Primera GT - Worst = 22 MPG. Average = 28 MPG. High = 38 MPG.
Toyota MR2 Turbo - Worst = 15 MPG. Average = 20 MPG. High = 25 MPG (think it was broken).
BMW 328 E36. Worst = 20 MPG. Average = 25 MPG. High = 30 MPG. (Could have got more, but meh).

I don't know about that. My MR2 averaged about 22-23mpg without hanging around, and far less when pressin on. But on dual carriageways the short 5th gear worked to destroy the fuel economy. It was great at overtaking in 5th as at 70mph you were sitting at the base of the torque curve the turbo was about to create. A little squeeze of the throttle would spool the turbo into high boost and you'd be away. I drove from Newcastle to Wetherby and back the first weekend I got it and it seemed like I used most of a tank, I had to fill up at the BP garage at Wetherby services for the return leg!Baryonyx said:

Glad its not just me then, but I got told many times that it was "broken".
Evo 8 MR with some tuning upgrades was doing 5 mpg on track, after one top up of very expensive on site fuel I decided to fill up again at Shell, but ran out of petrol between Bedford Autdrome and Bedford even though I had put a can of fuel in before leaving the circuit, to go and buy more fuel. Not sure what the range was probably 50-60 track miles from a 10 gallon tank.
Not tank values but mpg, probably more useful.
Car : 2006 Civic 5 door
Engine: 1.8 i-VTEC
Best: 43.2
Worst: 28.4
Avg: 34.9
Could easily have something with more power and a better sound and still not be that far away from those figures I reckon. Mostly town driving sees low 30's regularly.

Also a bike, Honda NTV 650:
Best: 70mpg. Motorway and dual carriageway riding, not taking my time though.
Average: 60mpg.
Worst: 48mpg. Went around a lot of fun twisties on that tank
Worst mpg in a car I've driven was my mum's 4.4 Range Rover. I borrowed it for a day, it averaged 11mpg.
