about 270 miles on a full tank of optimax. I drive like a prick, and it's a 1.3L so not as efficient as the CL.

I get about 270 in the GTi and that's pretty much all town driving.

think i get just over 300, but it's all motorway, mine is a 1.4 SE, not sure what that means, but yeah pretty pleased with my milage from a full tank. and if anyone knows what the SE means in the way of engine, please let me know.

this is going to be irrellivant due to the fact my car is a diesel, but i can get around 450 miles out of a tank driving steadily, not that much flogging the nuts off it though

thats good, do you mainly drive economically then? i tend to drive econimcally but have a tendency to push it a fair bit so i get about 220ish out of my GTi

If by economically you mean above about 3-4k rpm all the time yeah
I like to put my foot down wherever possible (on 60 roads anyway) the least I've had before the light coming on was just over 260.

above 3-4k is my idea of economical driving
i assume your using ultimate/optimax?
