Default how many miles from a full tank?

hi, i was just wondering how many miles on average people get from a full tank? ive done a week of driving my S like a boring fart and ive also done a week of driving my S normally (careful driving with the occasional driving like my hairs on fire )

i wanted to hit 300 miles from a tank (v-power) and at one point i managed it.




what does everyone else get from a tank?

Loads and loads and loads of threads on this.

Anything between 100 and somewhere north of 300. Take your pick.


Here's some examples:

Cheers. Now I've done the test I can get it out of my mind now. Back to driving my car how it should be driven.

I only put super in my car and i get the following:

- combined cycle (daily driving and 9k blasts) i get between 250-270 miles,
- went from my house to south mimms and back as a fairly spirited drive which was 240 miles and that used 2/3rds of a tannk
- pure motorway mileage i got over 350 cruising at slightly above the speed limit

Anything more than 200 is a waste of an S2000.

I did feel wrong driving so "Eco" I just done this week and got 239 miles from a tank. I find a full tank gets me to work and back with a few extras Monday to Friday. And I top up a little for the weekend so I can have some fun

You must have been suicidally bored driving for 300 miles like a nun.

Bored? I was expecting the car to pull over and kick my ass for being such a Eco nerd! Needless to say I haven't hit 300+ since.
