how many miles for a tenner

as above got i8 gti cabby and i am lucky :dontknow:  to get fifty miles for a tenner  i admit i do drive a wee bit fast and not on the motorway but this sems abit to much what you think

How much is fuel, where you are? And what mpg does your car do?

about 97 pence as for mpg thats what im trying to find out paul just looking for rough guide in case ineed it looked at ive not been driving it for  a good few months and thank f….  i would be skint

Something around 30-40mpg depending on where you're driving it. I measured mine (hatchback though) a while back and it was 38mpg on a motorway run.

cheer  i will take it to tuners the mora

969miles for a ?5.99
fly with monarc airlines from manchester to menorca a few weeks ago return flight ?11.99 the taxi to manchester airport cost more  

me think the weight of the cabby would be to much excess   

110.99 for diesel on the M1
104.99 for Unleaded!!

At a service station, a 500ml bottle of Dr Pepper is ?1.29, though!

my car gets about 300 miles to a tank…. i reckon somethings wrong with that.. i think my carbs knackered  :scratch:

Thats the services for you! lucky I don't pay for it directly! it won't be long before the lorry drivers start blockades again!

64p tax on a litre! 8O
Welcome to the most taxed people in europe!

Feel free to carry on this rant! :wink:

this is where the money goes.


 so 47.1p duty + 13.4p vat
goverment total= 60.5p ie approx 60% of fuel costs at the pump go to the goverment.
every time the cost of fuel goes up they gain with higher vat revenue.
well that's nice to know isn't it :x

source 2005!

May be we should block a few roads with our Mk1's!

i get about 200 miles to a tenner of 50% veg oil/50% diesel

veg oil about 60p per litre
diesel about 100p per letre

ok took in for auto tune told need dizy cap rotary arm new leeds             cost about twenty five quid   but cost me forty quid to find this out

Divweir, 50 miles for a tenner sounds like 20 mpg…ish?
Recently worked mine out aswell Rov, a fiver (for five litres at mo) gets me 100 miles for combined driving. I haven't even bothered with veg oil cos I don't really need to yet, financially…not worth the hassle of clogging up the system and struggling to start in winter (I might decide to if diesel prices double though!)

i just love the smell from my exhaust now. and i know i'm cheating the tax system so i'm going to keep running on it!

Mines a 1.8 GTI Cab. Costs me about ?47 for a full tank  and I get roughly 320/330 miles on a tank.

Something like 36/37 mpg?

Don't think that's bad for a 23 year old car. I don't exactly drive like an old lady either!!  :mrgreen:

I always run BP ultimate. Tried allsorts of others and it definitely runs best on that.
