That's right, then you'll end up with the amount of fuel you put in *before* driving the 270 miles, which is a totally irrelevant number...

How much of it is left? 5 Litres? 10 Litres? None of it, and then some? Who knows! Let's guess and make up inaccurate MPG figures!

You need to find the volume of fuel that you've burned *after* driving those 270 miles.

It certainly does appear to be rocket science doesn't it!

That was not a dig at you for not using your car! It was me saying I love driving my car,so drive it and don't worry about MPG



Your clever

Ok I'll make it simple seeing as you think your a clever dick,full tank of fuel,drive 270 miles,re-fill the tank and it takes £50.21p to be precise,work out your MPG...............anyone home Mc.fly??????



You don't need to know the price per ltr I worked out the MPG,did not ask you to do it

Being a thick question... how do you work out the MPG?

I get 300 miles to a full tank. I think it is pretty bad tbh

You brim the tank, reset the trip meter, drive until near-empty, fill the tank all the way back up again, note the litres you just put in (not the first tank, that's irrelevant) and note the miles you've covered on your trip meter.

You then divide the litres of the 2nd fill-up by 4.546. The resultant number is the gallons you've just put in the tank (and have consequently just burned). You then divide the miles covered on the trip meter by the gallons and hey presto: MPG.

Getting 'x' miles to a tank means jack s**t, you've got to do it the proper way to get an MPG figure.

This is quite a bit of a problem? I may keep an eye on this 2

Bring on the Trumpets.

Well the C2 is a lot heavier, slower revving, has air con, has power steering, electric throttle... all of these make the car more 'hungry' for fuel...

My landrover is like the weight of a c2 and a 205 combined, and 4 wheel drive, so for that to do anything over 30 I am very happy with!

not forgetting my 205 gti had an engine map which had been tweaked and perfected by the map owner in various trial and error situations over the past xx years of his work. the c2 has a generic map which isn't trimmed to suit the engine, unlike the 205 map.

It's funny as well, that the 205 v6 we drove 4000 miles averaged over 330 miles per tank, roughly averaging 35 mpg. It also did 156mph
