Your car's fuel range display on a full tank

[Vinylseats]

What's the highest range you've seen displayed when filling your car right up with fuel? The most I've ever seen on my Peugeot 208 1.2 is 522 miles to empty after a fill up, having been doing some long distance driving, but the most I've ever truly got out of it is 475 miles before refuelling.

Normally when I fill right up with petrol it displays around 430 miles to empty, which usually turns out as just over 400, with around 20-30 miles range left, so it seems fairly accurate to me.

660miles

Astra 1.6CDTi (136), regularly getting 600 miles from a tank (with a bit of fuel light bingo)

[Drive Blind]

i had a fabia vrs - the diesel one - and the fuel computer on that regularly told huge porkies

one time after brimming the tank it was claiming a range of 800 miles.
I think it managed 600 miles once, 500-550 was the norm.

Best I have seen is 650 on fill up only went down to 630 after nearly 80 careful miles

What's this weird magic that you are referring to?

[ucb]

530d guesses 650 miles but it’ll get about 600-610 at a push
My old 1.9tdi Córdoba once delivered 725 on a tank

I got this..

2004 Volvo S60 D5. Full tank showed 1080 miles. Briefly.

After filling the tank, followed by a very light-footed drive of about 27 miles, my Mk1 TT 225 showed a range of 620 miles. Didn't turn into reality, unfortunately.

I'd show you a photo, but I can't get the image upload working.

I wouldn’t have got out in that sh#te to take a photo.

Less scary than driving in it!

As anybody who's driven in the snow in a TVR will tell you

My Mazda 3 MPS normally shows around 340 when I fill up.

320 is the only time I've broke 300 miles to a tank on a run down to Nottingham and back. Normally I see 250-280 miles.

Drove a Passat Diesel once (140 IIRC) that was nudging four figures showing on a fill. I had driven it uber-gently prior, though. It immediately dropped once I set off again.

Worst is my shed Jag. 220 for £96.

1030 in a Mk4 Mondeo TDCI. Of course that plummeted the moment I went above 1mm of throttle. The real world range could probably be drawn out to 650-700 miles with the wind behind it.

[Allanv]

304 miles in a 330i E92 jobber.

The fact it takes 4 months to do those miles as I WFH then I suppose it is a good deal for me.

I worked away last year and fueled twice when home so £120 for the whole year. This year I have put in £90 so far and have 3/4 of a tank remaining.

637 miles in a Transit Custom Auto...

[jakesmith]

610 in an A5 2.0 TDi which easily gets 50MPG on a run
320 in my R8 whith a 85 litre tak, and it never gives me the 320
390 in the Evoqu but you have to use cruise at 65 to achieve that

[Puddenchucker]

720 in a Yei diesel after some particularly frugal driving.
(It's usually 650-680)

Which bit is confusing you
a car with 3 digit range, a car that can display a basic calculation, a car that can detect its fuel level, or all 3?

[Nickbrapp]

Insgina grand sport diesel

570 when you fill it up, more like 430 once the lights in again.

The fuel Gauge also moves very quickly to quarter of a tank then ages to the light

830 on a 2016 A6 2.0 TDI
