**bertbuckie1** · 11th March 2009, 22:11

depends, her driving 400....im 360-380 --- signum tho....i never brake for corners ect tho....braking uses mpg

**John C S** · 11th March 2009, 22:15

320 on my last tank.

Would look to late 300's on a gentle drive on using cruise control.

419 is the most I've achieved.

Don't worry too much, you've still got to get used to it!

Mine does an average of 32 MPG usually. I get around 330-340 but that's mainly driving 5 miles to work and pottering around. It is alot better on runs.

....mine somehow got better mpg with a k and n induction kit ---- how im still rtying to figure out....hopefully lowering it has done some good as well, and going to do an oil change next week, maybe a fuel filter change.....hopefully better still

well i wouldn't say i have been driving that hard?? at all really.
those that have posted are they moterway miles?

or town driving?

car was last seviced in aprol last year about 10k miles ago - meant to be every 2 years or 20 k miles. anyone reckon an oil change needed this early?

**bertbuckie1** · 11th March 2009, 22:21

mines 37 miles each way to work, and a lot of smaller 5-10 mile trips to parents, and very small 1/2 - 1 mile trips to shops daily

mixture really - no cruise control

**Robbie69** · 11th March 2009, 22:22

I don't really do ANY motorway miles. All short trips

**ks246** · 11th March 2009, 22:24

well these ppl that have posted 320 miles and close to are making me slightly happier now!

day off tomorow planning to make time for the air box mod. - not clear on the how to. does the plastic pull out or needs to be cut out?.
and whilst on the subject will it affect mpg in any way- i definatly dont want LESS miles!!!
