Your car's range?

[Urban Sports]

The how do you fill up thread got me thinking about the range of my cars. I really don't do many miles, probably about 10,000 per year between 2 cars. Economy isn't a massive issue for me.

My BMW when I fill it up to the top has a range of around 250 miles and my focus around 320 miles, I suppose if I did a lot of miles this would be pretty bad.

What are your ranges? A creme egg for the best and worst

[gazchap]

Range on the computer after brimming is about 250. More like 170-180 in practice though.

[kambites]

About 250 miles, in the Elise. Maybe 350 in the Skoda.

[Codswallop]

About 350 miles in avaerage use, about 500 on a long motorway run.

[Jonty355]

Mondeo ST TDCI - 650 miles

Ferrari F355 Spider - 250 miles



Guess which costs the most to fill!

[530dTPhil]

580-620 on the BMW (F11 530d auto) unless it's all town work, then it's nearer 500. Discovery (3.9 V8 auto) probably about 250.

my golf is about 200 miles

[Papa Hotel]

550 if I've been caning it, 700 if I try for economy, usually around the 600-630 mark.

The Healey is about 10 galls at 20mpg, so 200. The every day back and forth to work diesel is about 12.5 galls x 57, so 712.

[CLINCHY2]

Merc C220 500 milesish
1953 Anglia V8 100 miles if i'm lucky.

I was only interested in range but please feel free to add the tank capacity or how much it costs to fill at today's prices.

[cossy400]

Its only the car for work and back,(Fiesta 1.4 tdci) but full its range is 540, over the month the tank lasts its more like 510.

O/H drives our Zetec s Fiesta TDCI and that reads about 480 full but rarely sees over 450 and she drives it with more care than i do shall we say.

Impreza P1 - 220 miles
Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.0 - 250 miles

[simo2k2000]

Mk3 Mondeo 2 litre petrol gives me about 450 miles from a full tank. Goes over 500 when doing long journeys down to Plymouth etc

[Jasandjules]

Passat estate - say around 550 or so on a run....

Chimaera - I don't look...........

[zeduffman]

350 miles at a push. I fill up every 300 miles or so though as it can vary (and the fuel gauge likes to wander across the dial from time to time, so I can't really trust it).

[Eighteeteewhy]

200-250miles in the Eunos, depending on how it's driven.

I always thought for a relatively light and small engined car my MX5 returned really poor mpg, they are thirsty little blighters.

This is what was getting at me with the Jag, the range when full (61l I think) is 340 miles, and I've driven it gently to try and persuade the OBC to be a bit friendlier.

The Rover commuter diesel doesnt have an OBC that I know of but I've been doing it off the trip, got to 430 miles before filling up (needle was on the bottom) and got 39 litres into a 50 litre tank, so I think it'd do about 550 if pushed.

We've a land cruiser with a long rang tank to give about 150 litres of diesel. Can do about 1,000 miles on a tank
