£50 of fuel gone in 11 days !!!

[TVRThomo]

How many miles to a full tank ? Mine is a Chimaera 430 which i've only had for a week past Saturday and it's almost empty (£50 gone in 11 days !!!). Think the coolant temp sensor needs changed and the steper motor cleaned, which will hopefully make a difference. Already changed the HT leads and plugs.

Comments advise please ...

50 rarely lasts more than a day in my 500

Have you driven the car? I find that petrol usage is more often related to miles than days....

Just kidding...22 MPG should be about average.

£50 ?? 11 days ?? You need to drive the car more.

[petros]

Sorry, how does £30 plus £10 make £140 ?

[mak]

I can easily spend over 50 pounds in my S if i'm off somewhere nice .. between the S and the Transit i average 70 pounds a week on fuel! ouch!

My fuel gauge needle generally moves quicker than the hour hand on the dashboard clock!!

I'd be happy with £50 in 11 hours.

It's a V8 - dont think about the pounds just enjoy the sounds

£50 in 11 days? It's a new record (in fuel efficiency)!

Advice? Use the loud pedal more and get an Optimax Card...

Nice comments guys.... feel a whole lot better now ! Thought there was a problem but obviously not.

Here's to trying to get down that 11 days

[MisterT]

In an average summer MONTH; Griff £110 of super unleaded; Range Rover £170 of LPG; motorbike £40 of 95 unleaded. Equates roughly to about £80 a week! AND I mostly work from home....oh well, no use in torturing ourselves with these pointless calculations, just drive the damn thing and enjoy it!!!

£70 in two days but well worth it
BTW not bad for 400 miles

Why, is that the call out fee for the lowloader?

Amateurs. The lot of you

I tried that but the grins/milage allowance difference was too great
