Fuel cost

[andysmee]

If you are in a similar job to me (Business Consultant) you will be on 40p a mile expenses. At the moment the RX is costing 30p a mile which includes some spirited driving once off the motorway :3gears-rh

I have had as little as 190 for a tank, and as much as 245 with a under a quarter left, don\'t no if there is a light but never risked it.

the 245 was all motorway cruising at under 3k revs.

Think i could of get a bit more out of the tank, but didn\'t want to risk it

I came back from london in mine recently  and I filled up in londo at 105.9p and it cost 70 quid, I then stopped further up for another 60 quid and I got home to glasgow area with about a 1/4 tank.
Also I used about 160 going to silverstone and back the other weekend. And it would take you ageeees to trailer it back. Have you looked into getting someone to bring it back up? I got quotes and it was about 300 quid from london to glasgow, just google car delivery and similar phrases and phone about.
What car is it you have bought?

I could get 300 out of my tank easily, but that was mostly 50-60mph, A road commute.

I averaged 24mpg, I once saw 28mpg

Should be at RE:Worx next week if they\'ve got a slot for a remap, then it\'ll be ready for me to collect.
From Portsmouth by trailer would sting me for over 500 notes :eek
Don\'t want anyone else driving it tbh for the first time.

Probably looking at 350 to collect it in person, so I guess this will be the best option so I can get to know the car on the way back too.

I think the "breaking down on the way home and getting towed home" option is cheapest. Especially as the AA/RAC would think twice about trying to fix it.

There must be a rotory specific component you could remove which would be undetectable by the AA/RAC.

Then you could drive as far as Birmingham and get towed the rest of the way!

I brought my rex (\'99, stock except for aftermarket filters and exhaust) last weekend from way down south west london, i live in the midlands leicestershire to be specific i filled up down london with a full tank just to be sure £55 super unleaded (had about £5 maybe £10 already sitting in it) so doing the run home on £60 tank from M3, M25, M1 i used only about quarter of a tank, averaged my speed at about 80MPH worked it out after i got home think it was something like 24MPG. Keep it just under boost and you should be fine on 1.5, 2 tanks plus its ALOT cheaper trust me i priced up a flatbed etc and they are wearing stripy jumps they rob you. But i gotto admit even though i did it using only 1/4 a tank id have happily used a tank i had a blast driving it back plus considering it was my first rex i got the feel and fun of it - definatly recommend driving it especially if your a petrol head like myself.
