Mpg
I'm planning to drive to Wolverhampton to Portsmouth which is approx 3 hours and my petrol gauge doesn't work…. So I'm needing to know how many mpg I roughly get so how much to put in.
Thank you in advance if you can help!

Guessing you'll be doing 400 miles or so (plus whatever when you get there) I reckon you're in to 1.5 tank fulls, 2 worse case.
Best thing would be to see how many miles you get off your next tank of fuel to check the MPG

I'm guessing if it's all running well then 30-35 mpg? I've only had 1.8 injection, not carb so guessing a bit to be fair.

Or fix your fuel gauge. It cant be a big job surely?
