Um not sure at what my average mpg is, its still good if driving nice and slowly on the motorways or around town, but when im giving it some, it drinks it. I can average between 18 -25 mpg whilst blasting it and 40-50 mpg whilst not.

Well have had to swap them over after only 3k, but i think the past 1k of giving it a real pasting have done most of the damage. The rears are now on the front, and already they are srubbing the side walls, and the rubber is coming off in chunks from flying into roundabouts at about 60 mph, and just understeering and wheelspinning when they are tight ones. But its only wearing the backs down a fraction, as most of the time only 3 wheels are on the floor. ;)

Toyo Proxies T1-S, they are pretty soft, and in the wet will wheelspin all the time, think im gona try something else next time, maybe Yokohama Pradas. Oh and get 215/40/17's next time rather than 205's.Yep, the 1.2 do sound nice, but how slow? i think i could have got to work quicker on my pushbike rather than that.

before revo i would get 450-500 miles to a tank which costs £45 to fill up.

atm (as i would imagine i am still severly enjoying it and has not work off yet) i am getting around 400-450 to a tank.

but with that i would imagine that my mpg has been crap of late as my speeds have been somewhat undiscloseable.

I get around 450 to a tank, whether it's driving like a granny all the time or booting it

Squeezed 55.7mpg out of a whole tank in the last fortnight. OK so most of the time I've been driving like a right Mavis, short-shifting and barely going over 2000rpm, but got me 568 miles on a vented tank, going right down into the red line. Could almost hear the fuel pump screaming as I pulled up at BP, fed it some Ultimate and have since reminded myself where max torque (and the traction control) kicks in. Probably only on for 350 miles this tank! Marvellous.

the last couple of weeks i've been getting around 600miles to a tank, having to drive this way cause of doing 600miles a week just for work. Considering its remapped as well, though i've been having to drive with an imaginary brick under the fun pedal. Yesterday though is the first time i've went wot in weeks, and the amount of soot it produced would shame a screwed dturbo!

Two weeks ago, Managed to get 396 miles from 38 Litres of Diesel. This equates to 47.3 MPG over the week. Had to try my best not to ever use the right foot, which was impossible. I would say half the miles were at 70-80 MPH on motorway journeys then the other half average A-road speeds.

Last week, Decided to drive as I fancied and managed 328 miles to 34 litres of fuel, this equates to 43.5 MPG. Same journeys, just no speed restrictions.

Happy with anything over 40 MPG, as all my past petrol turbo cars with the same power, but much less torque have all struggled to give me more then 28 MPG.

So overall I must be driving with a slight lead foot, but good to know if required I could get well over 400 to a tank.
