ok guys i've got a journey tomorrow from bournemouth to stratford upon avon via bristol, a fair bit of motorway driving and was wondering how many miles i'm likely to get on the tank sticking to 70/80 on the motorways...the journey is around 155 miles, any ideas?

If it's mainly motorway then I'd say you can look to get anywhere between 300-360 maybe

so if i play my cards right I may get there and back on the tank? I bloody hope so!!! its a 8 hour round trip

I'd say so, I got to Manchester and back on a tank which was about 165miles each way.

Didn't quite manage it to Bradford and Back though which is a shorter journey, although to say I wasn't driving economically on the way back is an understatement (was follwing my brother in his 200bhp Astra SRi Turbo)

I would say you should be ok if you drive economically and resist the urge to burn some rubber!!

I have got approximately 350 out of mine, but not sure if i would have beter or worse fuel consumption due to have a conversion.

heh well i'll be trying my best to be nice and efficient for a change! cheers guys

You should get at least 300 miles to a tank. I've had 38-41 MPG on motorway journeys, compared to 31-36 MPG everyday driving

yeah you're looking at around 300 miles on a tank i'd say

Here is a chart of all my journeys in my Polo so far. Most peaks are motorway journeys

sticking at 70-80 should see you there and back i reckon

Wish my econemy was as good as that! But considering i have one of my lamdas just dangling away , what can i expect lol

My latest tank saw me at just under 380 (that was only with 100 miles on the motorway)

Although it did take £50

i got 390 on £39 im well chuffed
