I'm getting 350 miles to a tank. I do however live in the sticks so once I pull out onto the road and get up to 60 I stay at that speed until I reach my destination (at leasts that's the case for all trips within an hour and a half from here). There's no lights, 2 roundabouts and thats it. Must be better for fuel economy than start/stop driving in towns and jams.
Yeah, to be fair I filled up before I left home and then again before heading back - so I used the first half of the tank both times - which I agree does last longer than the 2nd half.
I did gun it though - 75/80mph most of the way. Even got up to nearly 90 at some points. Twas a good trip
Just completed my first 'mainland' trip in my surf - a 430 mile round trip from the Isle of Wight to Alton Towers.
I was a little bit worried about how she would perform on the motorway but there was no need. I used half a tank going up and the same coming back - and I wasn't exactly taking it easy!
Took me a couple of hours to get all the dead flies off last night though
we coming over to your neck of the woods next saturday to do the tennyson trail and some other byways why dont you come along and meet a few fello surfers
After changing my head for the new one I did a tank of fuel, then re-filled right to the top of the filler neck. I added a bottle of 8 treatment diesel reddex also. I did a run to Milton Keynes from Didcot and used it to go to work from Didcot to Thatcham. Half the way to work is country roads with a 10 min stretch on the A34. I was taking it easy doing 60mph until I filled it up again from 1/4 tank.
I put in 49.87 litres = 10.9714 UK Gallons
I did 460Kms (best ever figure by the way) = 285.844 Miles
Fuel consumption for my truck is 26.05 MPG
How other trucks get 40MPG is totally unbelievable.
