fuel consumption????

[Mads]

I filled the car up to the brim the other day has i knew i was doing a few trips over the weekend, i went from ipswich to dartford and back, then from ipswich to miltonkeynes and then onto northampton and finally back to ipswich and had to put more fuel in 50miles from home, ive worked out that i must of done no more than 350 miles on a full tank??? is this normal for a 2.2 sri?

Depends on how much right foot you were giving it

Around 380-400 seems the norm for the petrol 1.8 - 2.2

I get that from my 3.2 v6 with good driving but had a 2.2 sri auto before and didnt get much more than i do in the 3.2 now...

i thought id read about your v6 being quite good on fuel before MAF

Yep it is but only if driven good and alot of motorway i can easily get 350 miles per tank . But i ve also done 180 miles to a tank and heard people doing less than that

about right , i used to get about that give or take with my 2.2 direct , i now get about 180 a tank - so count ya'sell lucky lol

when you put it like that steve i do!! Must budget for more fuel next time

[steveked]

wish i could put my veccy ice and comforts into my scooby , i know if i had a choice of the trip you just done in my scooby or a veccy (fuel costs aside) i'd chose a veccy everyday , really miss the comfort side of things alot on long trips.

[Mads]

cant argue on that side steve

One of my mate's took me to work for 12 miles in his Scooby - one of the special Proline editions I think with about 300 bhp. My god it shifted and stopped, but after we got there I was about ready to throw up....


Needless to say I said I'd drive him to work and back for the reast of the week...
