V6 tank range
mickjaguar wrote: ↑Thu Mar 12, 2020 10:37 am My daily journey to work used to be a round trip of almost 100 miles on 'A' roads, generally going along with the flow, with the occasional overtake. The indicated average mpg always stayed around the 30mpg mark, with the fuel light coming on at something like 400 miles Constant motorway driving is a little bit more economical, according to the 140 miles to Gaydon last week, but probably only adds say another 30-40 miles or so to the tank range. I'd put the range at somewhere between 400-450 miles for when you're looking for fuel.
Thanks Mick
Just the kind of info I was looking for
Cheers
My V6 S has averaged 27 mpg over 22000 miles driving motorways, country roads, etc., So given a tank of 70 litres = 15.4 imperial gallons you should expect to see some 400 miles per tank with a little to spare
The very best mileage was 45 on a motorway at 55 mph,

I’m think them 400-450 is the distance I should aim for and maybe 500 is a stretch too far even if you “try your hardest”

How are you getting any sort of mpg. I get 16! Given I don't hang around but 16mpg!!!!!
Do you do mostly short journeys? Cold starts really kill fuel economy.LarmiqFType wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 8:09 am How are you getting any sort of mpg. I get 16! Given I don't hang around but 16mpg!!!!!

I get over 20 mpg on a crappy 6 mile commute..... 16 sounds particularly bad.
Could be all academic now as the virus madness kicks in across europe.

My commute is about 9 miles each way but usually in some stop start traffic but not all the way there.scm wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 8:58 amDo you do mostly short journeys?

I’ve got about 3 weeks and counting from my last tank and usually spend about £70 a week - but I’d rather not have seen these savings.

People online are saying that a V8 is better than V6s people’s opinions?
