After 3 weeks of fairly careful driving I've managed to get 715 miles from one tank of fuel in my 2006 2.0Tdi PD140 :D. Trip computer saying an average of 63mpg, I did have another 30 miles till empty but know I won't be able to buy fuel tomorrow morning before work. Car is completely standard and has done 106000 miles.

Anyone else in the 700 miles to a tank club?

My next goal is developing a more economic tune for the car to push myself into the 800 mile club. :p

Can manage 800 in the Signum but that's got a bigger tank

I get bored too easily! Best I have got is 590 from FR170 Facelift.

I used to be like that.... I've got into the drive sensibly routine now and can really see the benefits of it. Although I have been driving lots of much more powerful cars which makes the Leon feel more like a transport tool than a fun thing.

I regularly get 750+ miles, and could get over 800 if I bothered to run the tank fully empty :p

700 miles to a tank? I would need a good book to read whilst driving that slow on the motorway.

Or a passenger that is very pretty with skimpy/tight clothes on.
