I get around 400, but can push that to 450.

When I am motorway cruising it I am getting 35mpg, but the rip computer say 27-28!

I am happy with mid 30's, for an Auto Estate, I think that's okay!

On a full tank I used to get over 480 - avg 35.8 miles over 11,000 miles. On Goodyear NCT 215/50/17.
Now I only get about 440 - 32.6 mpg- since change to 225/45/17 Falken tyres.
Signum ELITE - 2.2 direct 55 plate.

It is very interesting to see the vast difference in the MPG you are getting between different types of tyres.

In your case anyway you would be far better over the lifespan of a set of tyres by buying another set of goodyears. Just out of curiosity why did you not buy more NCT's? (I know i wouldn't after the problems with the NCT's) It would be good to know the difference how other tyres compare. Were your Falken's cheaper or more expensive than the NCT's?

I had this with a Pug I had, I put ULP's on it and the mpg went down by 4mpg.

i used to get about 350 per tank in me old 2.2 direct

On average, 430 miles before a fill up. Often with 20-30 remaining. So theoretically 450, mixed driving but more urban. Im impressed.
