Just wondering how many miles the people that own a 1.2 TDI get out of a full tank

?

I get about 800 km (a bit over always) so it's safe to say 500 miles (if my converter converted it correctly)

I usually fill up with 39/40 liters.

I've not seen below 450 miles in it and I'm not too conscious about how lightly I accelerate etc

I know its not the correct answer but just a comparison.
I use my car as a Learner car and its the 1.2(60PS) petrol.
On a normal week of lessons, i will get 375-400 miles out of a tank of fuel,
If i get to do a passplus and motorway i can reach 500 miles
The fill up i did yesterday was 45.61litres and i did 353 miles, and the one before was 48.00 litres and 389 miles.
So its not much different to the diesel

I usually get 550. 14000 miles on the clock.

Can't believe how much lower everyone else is! Honestly when I fill up, the display says 550 miles. Even if I drive it hard (I usually do) I still get 500-550 miles...

That's interesting! When I filled up for the first time last weekend, it said my range was 420 - but currently my estimated total range is 550-600.

My average MPG per day is 61.

Last time I checked was in December though so was still running winter fuel, not checked it since!

Nice

my drive to college gets me 56. Motorway gets me around 60-65 mark.

I've been driving my new car for 4 weeks. it has now done 1300 miles and I have got 600 miles out of each tank full. Driving very carefully of course averaging ~68 mpg over mainly dual carriageway driving
