I regularly get 180-200 miles out of a tank - hardly ever over 200 unless I am driving somewhere on the m/way and then 230.

My worst is 160ish and my best is 335 (No VTEC and all motorway -70ish - BORING)

I always get 240 miles off a tank of gas, no matter whether I VTECH all the time or not. If I do a trip on m/ways, it goes up to 260ish miles.

I guess I am just lucky.

Less than 200 miles on a tank is scary!

I saw a Vauxhall Carlton with Opel badges.

Is this a Rekord?

Careful there, you'll end up pushing!

I once put 45 in the Civic, which is claimed to be its capacity

I was stupid enought to drive about 50 miles after the fuel light came on....... manged to squeeze 49.8 litres into the tank!

Filled up yesterday - 5 bars left, 39 litres with 320 miles..... around 37 mpg!!!

Must admit we did go to Leicestershire for the weekend (90% motorway), did about 75 - 80 all the way.

Have I bought the wrong car? I ain't always like that!
