I'm averaging around 250 -270 on a full tank Could probably get a few more if i drive it below 70 on motorways

i get 22-23mpg at the moment - roughly 400kms (250miles) before the light comes on and it costs £65 to fill it up from that stage. i do a lot of motorway driving though and tend to cruise at 70ish - if i did 60 i'd probably get a fair bit more but i might fall asleep through boredom!
