Please tell me some of you guys are getting worse fuel consumption than i am if i put £20 of petrol in i will have to refill 40 miles later how does your rx compare and also when the petrol light comes on how long till it runs dry

Depends on how you are driving it.

A full tank from empty is circa 60 ltrs. This lasts me about 200-230 miles, most of which is motorway.

Drive it like OJ and you should see 50 miles.

When the light comes on get to a station sharpish! (i know from experience!)

Try not to let it get that empty all the time, you will block up your fuel filter quicker and you don\'t want to o changing that to often.

Fuel economy is crap but its only money

On motorways i can get 100miles maybe slightly more to £20 and in town i get probably 60-80miles on £20 with a fairly std FD. Best bet to not drive it in town:D

I would get your fueling system checked over as it sounds like you have fuel leak somewhere.

As others have said for street driving in and around town you will see bad MPG figures on the M-way not too bad considering i suppose.

If you are driving like a bat outta hell then dont expect great MPG figures bro:eek:

On a motorway journey I can get around 21Mpg (very carefully) but commuting through traffic I get around 8Mpg.

It\'s only a short jorney to work though so some of this has to be due to letting it warm up and cool down!

what warning light??..i aint got 1   mind you though at least the doorlock ring illuminates :cool

As everyone says its all down to driving style.  I regularly see 12mpg on general commuting, but take it on the Motorway and i\'ve seen 30mpg easily (never once going over 70 though;) )

Worst ive seen for £20.00 though is 60 miles, so 40 says your giving it some

I worked out it was somewhere between 5.4 and 7mpg for me on track - not sure exactly how many laps we did!

Scary stuff.

Around 17-20 is normal for general driving.

I filled the tank up in Belfast got the ferry over to Liverpool Drove down to silverstone sat in traffic for about an hour and it only cost me about 1/2 a tank. Then 1/4 of the tank around  the track.
The FD loves its fuel.
