Jamesr_VR6 0 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 mine might be so low because im constantly doing a 1mile trip to work and back?car never warms up properly would be my guess, it swings in roundaboutsi used to drive my 1.2...2 miles to and from work per day, and i would only use 1 tank a month costing me 40quidi know driver 34 miles round trip to work and use a tank a week, presumeably because my 1.2 uses more fuel cruising at motorway speed.on the flip side i borrowed my mums 1.6 focus out of curiosity to do the 34 mile trip and only used half a tank for the week, and was probably driving faster!!!much more ergonomics to it i reckon though Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted August 25, 2009 Report Share Posted August 25, 2009 I've done mine with what i normally fill up at.. comes to 27mpg which is about right for me.. but then i see the example at the bottom.."12,000 miles would cost you - £2032"So if I did no mileage this year i'd be able to spend £1500 easy on a supercharger by now Link to post Share on other sites

bungy 2 Posted August 28, 2009 Report Share Posted August 28, 2009 There is a good mileage calculator for the iphone which can store figures for a number of cars and tabulate the results. Good if you're into that sort of thing. Link to post Share on other sites
