Anyone got a faster one than this?

[edo]

Fuel gauge that is!!

Brimmed, and 1/8th of a tank gone in under 35 miles!!

And I was pottering.

How was you driving?

[edo]

gently. Only in p400!

[R26Andy]

My rx8 would have easily topped that. Lucky to get 25miles per 1/8, dropping down to 20miles per 1/8. of really pressing.

The guage on the Chim bears no relation to the contents of the tank....probably just as well

Fair point! My Rx8 a few years back did about 140 miles on a tank (the day of the prodrive day).

Anyone else getting a fked up picture with green lines on it?

My Mighty Focus CMAX seems to do something similar, the top half goes down a lot quicker than the bottom half

[Jimmy No Hands]

Yeah my RX-8 was about 20 miles to an 8th. Very depressing to watch.. would beat that easily.

Yes to the green lines... And the thing happens in my focus.
I thought it was me to be honest

Similar nominal economy can be managed, but not by relating to fraction of a tank size owing to having a proper sized one fitted instead of the ridiculous Focus-sized thing the Six has.

me too, corrupt image file!

As for the fuel, I've burnt it off at a crazy rate, just depends on the driving.

Worst was using an entire tank in a 200 mile journey on an Audi A4

[wiliferus]

Back in the days when was traffpol, did a full tank on an Omega MV6 in 108 miles! That was a busy day that was!

re-loaded. still b*ggered?

[RSGulp]

Just part-ex'd a Mk5 Golf R32. I used to brim it with £80 of unleaded and the computer would say 240 miles till empty ...and it didn't often last that 200 miles.

[Dyl]

Definitely not mine! Brimmed, my fuel gauge doesn't even move from "full" until I have driven ~110 miles. After that, over 50 miles to 1/8th is normal.

Most I have seen it move was during the heavy snow in winter...still 35 miles to 1/8th

Edit: shame my car is just as slow...I need an upgrade!

I was once treated to what can only be described as a telephonic assault from a particularly animated and verbose Northern gentleman.

The subject was the profligate nature of his M6 which on a freshly brimmed tank of super had consumed just over a quarter of a tank whilst on a spirited run to obtain some black pudding.

The distance of said run?

A roughly 20 mile round trip.

For the avoidance of doubt, I am not complaining - We didn't buy a V10 5.0 car and expect good economy. I have a fuel card, and the other car does 60mpg!
