M.p.g ?
 
OK just wondering if anyone knew roughly what mpg a box standard S12 will get
At the moment £10 gets me about forty miles ? just doesn't seem right to me , but then my last car was a wee little 1.2 run about that got fifty miles to a fiver lol

Depends how you drive it really , i would have thought you would get more than 40 miles from a tenner though:confused: When you fill up have you checked for a wet trail left on the road behind you:D

i prob get about 40 miles to a tenner :ghey or less if i rag it :rolleyes:

Wagsie 18-11-2006 17:14

this is with a soft right foot , well 80% of the time , to scared to boot it as my wallet suffers to much lol

yeah mine is about 40 miles to a tenner of super max! but i think the auto ones do use a bit more than a manual. i once went through a 40 quid fill up in 150 miles!:eek: though that was fast drivin round bendy lanes with hills!

TOMO200 18-11-2006 18:43

yer that sounds about right 40 miles to a tenner, count yourself lucky tho as im getting bout 30 miles to a tenner coz she running lean after the T3 conversion:o thats without ragging it aswell and keeping off the boost

smoker 18-11-2006 19:13

After sorting a boost leak i just got 150 miles and the tank is showing half full. Before I got about 240 miles before It was showing empty ..reckon i'm getting about 30 mpg now on shell v-power :D
I'm going to try dropping the fuel pressure off boost to give me a bit more economy when i'm pootling about around town.

Wagsie 18-11-2006 19:15

ok looks like im ok then
Thx people :D

smoker 19-11-2006 00:44

I reckon a 4.5 V8 range rover could just about manage 40 miles on a tenner you guys must have heavy right feet :D

ollymk1escort 19-11-2006 10:22

Im getting around 50-60 miles to a tenner. and its an auto

Excite 19-11-2006 11:25

filled mine up last night £40 and drove to southend (85miles from mine)...there and back with doing 125mph twice and ragging around basildon i used just over half a tank.

I think that is a lot but who knows....

my rover turbo 200bhp used to get 350miles to £40 even when i ragged it and done 155mph.

S12's seem pretty juicy


but i love it

s12Rob 19-11-2006 13:35

before my head gasket went, i filled up full tank and used 1/4 to about 30 miles

rpettafor 19-11-2006 20:08

i usually get about 25mpg, which equates to 200-250 miles from £40

PukkaSilvia 19-11-2006 22:40

i got 60 miles on a tenner on my daily driving. I dont thrash it constant but i also dont try and economise ;)

s13eater 19-11-2006 22:52

73 miles on £10 at 65mph.

JamesS12 20-11-2006 02:15

mine is standard at the mo with just a K&N, this made barely any difference! I get about 30 miles for every 5er average, or 40 miles for every 5er on the motorway!

Wagsie 20-11-2006 15:43

OK so I stuck another tenner of go go juice in and with some good old fashion right foot action I got 60 miles ? wtf
