Default How many miles on a full tank
Well after filling my tank in Inverness I wanted to see how many miles I could do so I reset the trip odometer and well this is my result doing the average 70mph still had a bit left in the tank so here is my picture of proof

Seems about right mate. On a journey I can get 300/320 out of a tank but around town lucky if I see 250

About 55miles? .. on track I think I can get the gauge on the fuel consumption app to hit 1.4mpg! economical I think when you consider how much fuel the space shuttle or a Saturn 5 Rocket burns..

In all seriousness though I have managed 346miles in my Classic Wagon STI, and that is fully laden with luggage, it was a slow drive though! average 65 odd! I would say your numbers are spot on, considering when your doing 70 your near that magic 3k rpm "I want to fuel for boost" mark on VF series turbo
