... from a tank of optimax?

I know my car is new and I am now having lots of fun , but I am really struggling on fuel consumption.

How many miles should I expect from a full tank, when it is mainly used for the daily commute 25 miles, and what about when I am giving it some

Yesterday, I took the *long* route home and only managed 60 miles from the first half tank

Moff, my best ever has been 320ish and that was on a weekend away nice roads and I only once Katie gets a sulk if I floor it.
I normally only get about 240 with lots of short blast around country roads.

I had / have this concern. It does seem to vary greatly even with steady driving.
I have now come to the decision of Sod it i am having so much fun.

The sussex / brighton meet last week used over half a tank with variable rpms which was approx 140 miles = 34litres of optimax

I get about 30mpg, usually a mixed bag of driving.

I don't even think about fuel until about 200 miles, at 250 miles I start keeping an eye out for a Shell station, at 280 I start hoping to see a Shell, at 300 I start panicing if I don't see a Shell, and more than 300 I start needing new pants. If I haven't seen Optimax by about 270/280 I'll go to BP/Esso and put sUL in.

At a track day, I got around 16/17mpg and that tank lasted about 170/180 miles.

usually around 250 to 300 depending how i am driving

For once with AE. It's for more usual to be at the 250 end of the spectrum rather than the 300 end though.

About 270 to the petrol light. This equates to 27 mpg which I am v pleased with considering the abuse it takes.

This was sustained during the SM2 thrash and 230 miles stretch home at an average 93 mph.

I am very pleased with that.

I got 330 miles out of a tank last week, and was more than thankful to pull into a Shell garage, those last few miles were nerve racking...

Typically I get about 30 mpg, although tomorrow we're having a x country blast to Duxford, with plenty of and no concern about mpg!
