cost in fuel

[Col]

I am off to Blackpool on Wednesday,

How much do you think it will cost in fuel to take the 7 up there?

Going from bedford to blackpool around 220 miles I think.

Undecided whether to take it or not.

Take it easy on the motorway.  Just over 3/4 of a tank??

[Col]

you reckon just under a tank? that would be cool.

Moving this to the 3rd gen section as its not really a technical post.

i have just done 220ish miles on £33 of optimax, but as mine only as 350 miles on it now i was taking it very easy.

thats awesome I am lucky to go to the local shops for £33 :rolleyes:

[arrouk]

wasnt that good when a corsa full of chavs flew past.

I went to Warwick on Sat morn, approx 240 miles return, that cost £70 in a Lexus. Should be similar.

[Col]

Thanks for all the replies, I was thinkin around the £140 mark.

Take it steady and I can do 250 miles on a tank, so £60.

I find if I slap the cruise control on at 70 it uses hardly any fuel, upping speed to 80 and it seems to use a substantial amount more.

Did 210 miles and it cost £50 - steady driving 80mph with a bit of fun now and again

whent to liverpool from mine the other week - 400 mile round trip and I did it on £70 ish, taking my time though ( with the odd play moment ) and my engine has done about 50000 miles!!

So if she\'s standard I\'d take a guess at £75 - £80 round trip!

You could have a sweep stake on this, £1 to enter... Guess the fuel bill for round trip.... winner takes all !!

Have fun mate,
