Yep, 06+ I'm afraid and it was an option but a worthwhile one. If you can find one for sale it's worth the extra

 

FWIW I reckon on getting between 200 and 240 miles to a tank, with one rare 258 tank, but that was really running on the fumes.

This gives me approx 20-24mpg, as i usually refuel with approx 1 Gallon in the tank, so 45ish L put in each time.

For comparison, i was getting about 32mpg on an X reg CLio 172 for an average tank, going up to near 40 on a motorway run and about 24 if i was hooning it.

BTW, this is a Super Unleaded Only kinda car, so bank on forking out for the good stuff...

That said, it's the new tax rules that'll sting the most!

 

I'll only talk to Ian in future; I'm ashamed of the rest of you!

290 my arse; you ALL must try harder!

 

I've got a lovely 55 plate for sale currently in the FS section......

.....am I allowed gratuitous plugs now I'm a paid up member?

Average about 240 miles per tank with mixture of driving FWIW

 

Nick!

to those getting more than 250 miles per tank!

I got a fuel light at 199.8 miles on tuesday... that is thirsty work.

 

I was surprised today when I filled up because on my last tank of V-Power I got 33.5 mpg. Some people may consider this a good thing but others like Nick Graves may think this is a bad thing . Honestly, I don't drive slowly, before filling up I had a bit of fun with a 330D reaching 106 before I lifted but I didn't get out of 6th.

 

I only owned mines for 2 weeks now ... 1400 miles later lol .... I have paid attention to 3 tanks of petrol.. (all filled from reserve on v-power) 200miles then 220 miles and 240 miles all with a lot of vtec:P

(take your airbox lid off to experience it but to save your fuel economy keep it on as the glorious howl is to temptatious lol )

Using a Shell Mastercard from Citibank: 3% discount

http://www.citibank.co.uk/personal/c...iti&offer=A154

use this on all Shell fuel purchases and set it up to pay off the full balance each month so no interest is paid.

Hope that helps.

 

Just tried that credit card link but it doesnt work - perhaps the offer has expired?

Hopefully getting my S on the road this weekend, so I will await with interest to see what fuel economy I get. I think I averaged about 28-29 mpg from my DC2 ITR, so hoping for something similar from my S...

Kev

 

Thanks again folks.

MJ2K - It'll probably be a couple of months before I have a chance to do anything about changing my car - shame, because yours would be spot on.

Cheers,
