How Many Miles Can You Squeeze ?

[Toyota3000]

How many miles can one expect to get from £10.00, for a 1.3 engine ?

Bearing in mind that petrol around my area is about 85.9 a litre.

Thanks :)

Tricky one... I don't know, but I managed to get about 540 miles from my last tank of diesel :D

Must be getting slower in my old age

god knows but as a guide i can get 3 bars from £10

[GT4 BOOSTER]

£10 in my gt4 i can get 40 miles if i'm good very very good

[alanbradley]

I really should work this out properly...

To fill my car - about 42 litres - costs almost 37 quid in diesel so I should be able to get (someone find me a calculator...)

(500miles / £37) x £10 ≈ 135 miles on a tenner.

[miles per pound] x [number of pounds] = [miles per number of pounds]

Based on that I guess you're looking at about 100 to 110 miles on a tenner of petrol (its less efficient, but the petrol's cheaper - which nearly cancels it out)

Good luck!

not to sure on £10. But on a full tank of petrol in my Sr. i can get 300-350. but thats driving very hard. i havent given it a chance to do a slow run yet. in my 1 lite i got 415 miles to a tank.

Dunno about £10's worth but try to work it out based on this;

Madam has just come back from a 267 mile round trip ... (because of the threat of fuel protests we are keeping the tank topped up so) .... it took £17.72 @ 95.6p/litre to top up.

That's 65.44mpg ... so if I can add up £10 = 151 miles.

must be nice.

Wow...

My personal best is 61.58, but that's over a full tank of 546 miles

well I just filled up with a tenner actually! :P

Car is reading 120 miles, although there was a bit left in it when I put that tenner in - and the petrol was 86.9p - I have also just travelled 15 miles from the petrol station!

So it was 135!

I did work it all out once with the Yaris MPG and average petrol price - I'll get my pen out and brain switched on again if you want a definitive answer.

dont worry about it just drive your car and enjoy it

put fuel in when it needs it. :D

Had a lovely drive through the Bedfordshire villages today. Nothing to do, lovely weather, and lots of ladies walking around wearing nothing much.

Sweeeet :)

[Poolcue]

I' ve got a 1.0 GLS, i agree with Chuck 04 i also get 3 to 4 bars with a tenner, generally 20-25 pounds a week does me.

New member so hello to all, will stick picks up of my Yaris soon.

[clarky]

10 = two bars

1 bar = 60m (good behaviour)

1 bar = 20m (very bad behaviour, but smiles)

I can get 110 miles out of a tenner. Thats mostly motorways, never fails

[Blue84]

Reading this thread has reminded me to go fill up actually more than a tenners worth is needed I think!

[JustJJ]

Well in my 1.3.... I have had her pulling 50.1mpg on the motorway... but i was being gentle ;)

She is petrol... not diesel :P

[cmarshall]

Since the hot weather my MPG has improved. It seem near impossible to get over the 40 mark. Im on 38 at the mo which im happy with, I just cant go 60 on motorways.

[Gnome]

Must work out how to view MPG on the display.

I've managed to squeeze just over 400 miles from a full tank before though, in my T2 (1 litre) Petrol Yaris.

It depends on how I'm driving at the time, to how far a tenner gets me. :D

think the most I've had out of my SR is about 250-270 miles for the tank. Haven't let it run out though - I usually fill up when it gets to 1 or 2 bars.

What am I doing wrong??!!

[alanbradley]

The bottom bar's got to be getting on for 25 miles of flashing before you can get that sort of mileage ;)
