Filled up before I went, got back and the light just after halfway went out at 200 - had been off the motorway, stop starting etc so it had the chance to regulate itself etc...
Yep it did that to me when I had that car, Fill it up now !!!!!!
You will get ~40 miles out of that half of the tanks - believe me I know!
That car's fuel gauge plummets once it gets just below half full!

Its actually starting to p1ss me off. Thats only 4000 miles, half of which was winter. I didn't mean to run it completely slick, but the T1R seems to just completely disintegrate just after you hit the wear limiter. The same tyre passed MOT perfectly fine a week or so before it looked like that.

I normally get between 26 and 28 mpg.
I think it's really good, I had a mini cooper S and that only managed about 24

anything is good on fuel compared to that
i've yet to see what the S is like on fuel as I can't drive it yet, 1hr 8mins to go
