How much petrol!!

[maddyaddy]

I know that rotarys are thirsty but i was wondering what type of consumption you peeps are getting.  I went for a little trip of 450 miles on the weekend and used £140 of petrol.  This was mainly motorway miles and i wasnt really being heavy footed.  This is working out to be about 32p per mile.  I have got an uprated fuel pump and reguator and 1600cc injectors.  

What are you guys getting?

That sounds a lot! I went from Essex to Bath on a tank pretty comfortably on motorways mostly, and that\'s 160 miles apparantly.

And mine is a stock car except for the cat back exhaust..

£140 is just over 2 tankfuls so its not so bad, i see similar mpg but i think its a little heavy depending on your ports and speed, also if it was alot of slowing down and accelerating it doesn\'t help.

Over the last 2300 miles I have averaged 22mpg. This is in my 1989 TurboII cab. No town driving and a gentle right foot (most of the time).

last time i checked i got about 250 miles out of a tank, with mixed driving. i\'v stoped watching now, just fill it up when it gets below a half.

This weekend I did about 330 miles in my FD - I put about £110 of petrol into it... So

£110 optimax @ £1.03/l = 106.80 litres of fuel
330 miles / 106.80l = 3.11 miles per litre

So to convert that to imperial values...

4.55l in a gallon
4.55 * 3.11 = mpg
therefore my average MPG was 14.15

According to that calculation - In my car it would have cost about £149.04 to cover the same distance you did (450miles)

A brief run down of my car -
1600cc Secondaries/550 Primaries
Major Extend Port
Single Turbo
Aftermarket FPR/Pump/Filter

My car is mapped very rich at the moment because it\'s still running in with a 6500 rpm rev limit.  The wideband shows around 11.4 - 11.6 on a cruise around 3000-4000 rpm so I could safely take some fuel out to improve economy.
