how much petrol

baldie87

i have a astra coupe 2.2 just wonder how much how much petrol it would cost to do 700 miles

cheerz

vocky

expect about 40-45mpg on a long run, so between 15 and 18 gallons, so £60 - £72 dunno..

or £112 around town (25 mpg)

Like Vocky says at steady speed you may see high 30's (mpg wise) so i would say £68 should cover fuel costs.

Filled up last night to the brim and went to Weymouth today. Noticed petrol cheaper than round here so filled to the brim again £26.20. All things equal should have used same again so £52.4 for 410 miles.

I've just done a 600 mile round trip to Brussels on less than a single tank in my cdti 😃

I've checked the fuel comp for accuracy by working out the MPG the "old-fashioned way" and it's consistantly about 0.2mpg out - which is pretty accurate as far as I'm concerned (especially when the fuel comp in my old cavalier used to be about 3-4mpg out each time I worked it out).

I did a 750ish mile trip to France and back last year just after I bought the Vectra. When I got home the average mpg was showing 36.5 mpg.

On my normal week I used to regularly see 31-33mpg average for a tankful of fuel. Now, because the heap of poo is running like a bag of shite, I'm lucky to hit 29mpg 🙁

Hopefully that will all change once I can find out what the hell is making my car run like crud......

22-24 mpg with egr valve around town and 26-27 mpg with out egr valve
on a run i get about 34mpg with a boot full of camping stuff.. coupe

vocky

it worked out at £52 for 600 miles, so 51.5 MPG 😃

Mine does 0mpg when stationary in traffic, same as everyone else.

Can get mine down to 7mpg coming on to a motorway, sounds sweet.
ZE22 in a Vec a bit underpowered but liveable.
Driving at a respectable speed so i dont nod off i struggle for 32 to 33mpg on a run. Not very good considering an old cast iron Cologne V6 1.4 tonne car with permanent 4 wheel drive at similar did 35mpg+ and had twice the power and near on three times the torque.
