How much fuel did you use ?

[Rs2oo]

Worked out how much petrol we used from Kent to Le Man, a trip on saturday night to Arnage viewing area then home again to north Kent. Worked out at exactly £120 for the 700 odd mile run. Computer says 29 MPG overall. Thats in a Renaultsport 200 cup, 2 ugly blokes and a car full of camping gear. Not bad.

[SEE YA]

Full tank each way, Dover to Lemans.

[mollytherocker]

Wigan to Folkestone to Le Mans to Lille to Wigan!

1300 miles in total in a 993 C2. £250 which is about 25mpg. Not too shabby considering 2 up and stacked from front to back in camping equipment etc. Its amazing what you can fit in if you try!

MTR

[smpaton]

Five tanks full at £90 per tank.

[Doctor Houx]

Did about 300 miles, cost about 90 quid.

5-litre Griff.

Did 1300 miles and averaged 25mpg with 300 miles to a tank.

Ouch, that's going to be about £300 with Autoroute prices!

Computer said 29.4 mpg but Bromley/LM/Bromley on five tanks - say 300 litres - suggests otherwise.

[Mr.Jimbo]

about 6 tanks full at £60/€70~ a tankful... 2200 miles.

We have just got back though, and detoured around germany and holland, so not exactly direct

[blueST]

I managed an impressive 24.5 mpg...In a Focus.

Smiles per gallon just don't stack up. Since I got back I've actually been thinking of swapping it for something boring and frugal or something equally uneconomical but a lot more fun!

[Panclan]

90 litres, Camberley - Dover - Le Mans and back, cost nothing, company fuel card

[Chr1sch]

The 2.0tdi A6 and my 118d used 2 tanks including driving about for 4 days, the st on the other hand drank more than an alcoholic, using 4 tanks worth.....(who said remaps were better on fuel economy?!)

[beamosmp]

top of my head...

Filled up:
just before Eurotunnel
just past Rouen
on the A28 out of Le Mans
At the A1M/M25 Services

guess it was £80 a tank getting around 22mpg ish... in a 4.2 Jag XK - I was only the passenger

[Jimski]

we did nottingham - dover - boulogne - Dieppe (because we wanted to go to a beach) - Le Mans - Remis - Nurburg - The Ring - boulogne - dover - nottingham

roughly 1700 miles averaging 30mpg which was great considering the bmw was filled to the brim

Ouch! I was doing over 40 in mine on the way down. 2.0 petrol though rather than an ST!

The two bikes stood up on the roof didn't really help matters, plus they stopped me from getting my toe down.
