fuel economy /range to a tank

[sean_goodman]

just a quickie, i am planning my route to bring my 3r from the UK to germany.

what sort or range from a tank should i expect at say 80mph trying to stay off boost

cheers

3Rs and M400s have ~12l ish when the needle covers the 0 mark. As mentioned, early 2.5s read zero earlier.

240-250miles is fine for motorway stuff, although at 80mph you really should have a break every 2.5-3 hours, or 200ish miles, so why not just fill it up each time you have a break?

my mrs likes you! only because you have just increased her fag breaks lol

Not being a nanny, there is lots of research that shows after ~2.5hrs of driving your chance of having an accident increases. As I like you lot so much I'm just looking out for you all

to be honest i find after around 2.5 hours i am ready for a break as well.

sounds good, i was working my jouney back to germany out on the assumption that i would need to refuel every hour or so (like my evo and skyline did) seems that at sensible speeds that isnt the case.

looking forward to a return to germany at non sensible speeds lol

Regulation (EC) No 561/2006 says 45 minutes every 4.5 hours for cab/taxi/professional drivers, which can be taken in 15 minute breaks, and hence one break every 1.5 hours

whilst i dont really know you, i would hazard a guess that you dont have very much to do lol
