Fuel Consumption!!

Recommended Posts

I get around 380 miles to a tank on usual weekly cummute to work (15 miles each way warming her up first and then going as fast as i can depending on traffic on a mix of roads)

 

I have the late 15 gallon tank and I always fill up just before it goes into the red, usually costs about £50 (Using 97/98 RON always now as timing is set to 7degrees BTDC)

 

I find Optimax (or Ultimate etc) gives me slightly more MPG and makes the car run smoother so accounts for the extra cost, The best I've had is 450 miles just into the red but addmittedly I was driving like Kevhaywire's mum...

Have suffered as little 285 out of tank :shock: , or upto 406 miles. :D

Normally see at least 370. Does this indicate a sorted engine for my VR6?

Thats not bad mate, im at 394miles now with about 2gallons to go

 

Like Supercharged says its how you drive it

But i reckon in the Vr6 you can chill most of the time as you dont have to work it hard but when you need the power theres plenty there
