Tuscan fuel tank mileage?

[chumleyuk]

Can anyone tell me how far you can get on a full tank in a Tuscan S doing reasonably premium speeds (not 50mph)?

I have had app 240 miles from a full 56/57 litre (12.3 gallons I think) tank of a std 3.6li Mk1 Tuscan, using V-Power 98 ron fuel, doing at or slightly above national speed limits in mild temperatures(on the continent), and ensuring I left about 6-7 litres in the tank at point of refuelling. Gives app 19-20 mpg which does not sound unreasonable at constant speeds.

I've had 290 miles motorway traffic from London to Newcastle before re-filling.
It was the traffic that helped slow me down!
In town I think I get 140-170 miles

never get lower than 10L is the beeping gets on my beeping tits

but recon on 200 - 250 miles per fillup on a run

I get around 250 normally in my S, fast or slow only seems about 30 miles total difference so not much in it

[chumleyuk]

So let's say Autobahn... 100-140 consistent... what about then?

your a brave man if you could keep a consistent 140. managed 1.6 leptons in mine and it was a buttock clenching experiance, wouldn't like to hit a pot hole / gust of wind / even brake at that speed as it felt like it would swap ends.

didn't evo make 165 before the spoiler came off?

After reading how many miles your getting from a tank i'm a bit worried as i only get about 130 miles. The car is my daily commute and i dont even go above 2000 rpm most of the time. Does my car have a problem? Any ideas what it could be? Any help would be good.
thanks.

tuscan 1 ? when trip distance is displayed spin the right dial a couple of clicks, should clear it.

Of course with your left finger your right will be twidling the knob
