I absolutely hammer mine and always get above 270 miles with mostly town driving and B roads. If I hit the motorway I'll get above 300. Its down to driving style!

I also filled up for Japfest 60.05p at 140.9p per litre

Then managed 290 miles from a tank

Using this site it worked out at 30.93mpg with some "spirited" b road driving included!

It was just like that with rather a lot of petrol on the forecourt.

I'm only getting about 180 miles on a tank, I must have a leak
You must have a leak somewhere Saz, my old G60 went like that, turned out to be the seal on the top of the tank where the fuel pump is...was getting about 15mpg as a result of half of it evaporating!

Either something along those lines or you VTEC everywhere!

Thanks Spykee, I've been telling lots of people that I'm sure there is a leak and they haven't given me such a sensible explanation. I'll get it looked at. MQ says she has been having the same problem since I borrowed her car We do both VTEC everywhere though

30.5 mpg - how boring must those 300 miles have been.

Have fun in the car, forget the mpg.
