soooo the eternal question, how many miles do you all get per tank? as i've now started driving to work its become important and after the remap too - so tell me, how many miles do you get? :)
 
I've only had the car just over a week, I managed 350 miles to a full tank, but that was a mixed journey (a lot of stop/start in traffic, some town driving too and a few short journeys)

Mpg I was seeing is anything from 40mpg-51mpg

yep same here,usually around 45 mpg with lots of town work but soon rises when given a decent run.

I've just filled up, got as near as makes no difference 440 miles from the previous tank and the one before that, venting would see more but I CBA with that. mostly motorway miles but next to no regard for fuel economy, a hybrid turbo, a Peloquin diff and a JABBA SMF

On average I get around 400 miles to a tank, with a fillup costing around £38...

Most was 680 miles, that was with venting though!

If I get below 50 then I have been gunning it, usual is around 60mpg though, with best being 71.6mpg.

Yesterday i filled up with £32 worth which was about half a tank and had done 314 miles. At £1.18 ltr i guess thats over 50 mpg. :)

That included a run to the coast at the weekend. My normal short runs to work brings in 45 mpg.

same as above.. about 450miles, but half is town and half open road =]
would say some hard acceleration since the dual carriage way near my house has a 10 metre slip road <_<
