My little beater is having some spark plug trouble, mainly one has snapped inside the cylinder head!! So while thats getting sorted this week i've taken the S to work. 50 mile round trip of mostly motorway!

I done about 330 to a tank, and that was mostly motorway driving averaging 70 - 80, - refilled not long after the light came on, so i'm sure I had another 40+ miles easy in there

this was using v-power, as usual

Posting in here should mean your car is confiscated for incorrect use.

I managed 136 miles from a 60 litre tank but that was at a track so probably does not count plus its the wrong car as well
