That's the way mate :thumb2
Now go and check your tyres for exact pressures and dump excess weight (wife on bus :lol) no roof rack, no brakes etc etc
bla bla or just boot it and enjoy :naughty

I have the zexel pump and was running on 50/50 sunflower oil in the summer and then on Asda veggi oil when they changed the cooking oil discounts( 83p/l) The sunflower oil did not like the cold weather and the car was very lumpy when cold. I use mainly Asda fuel and put in some two stroke oil. 31 on a long run 26/28 around town and 24 mpg towing the caravan.

I rarely drive over 65mph. Dont for get the useful fuel calculator

tut tut tut :doh
the fuel gauge isnt linear so you must fill to the brim. IE right to the ruddy top, just wetting the rim :lol of your filler:augie

:thumbs :clap

I fill till its to the top & go by my GPS :thumbs

Costs me about £60's to fill up

Takes about 65 litres to fill to the brim

Does 315 from full to fuel light coming on

I ignore the fuel gauge & go purely by GPS milage :thumbs

( I haven't worked it out but its got to average 25 miles to the gallon )

 

[ste68blue]

that works out at 22mpg

 

[Adz]

that works out at 22mpg

:thumbs :bow

well iwent to birmingham childrens hospital last week, round trip was just over 103 miles heres my mpg :naughty

 

[briggie]

the mistral odometer is normally in km , unless its been changed 110km equates to about 66 miles ... and thats on a full tank you say .... check for leaks fgs

OOPH gordon bennet that's a stinker
Mistral will be kilometers on the gauge and should be MPH on speedo. So that's a proper miserable 70 miles ish:augie
You need to fill it up again to get the accurate result but er have you got a hole in the tank or has some scallywag nicked your go juice?:lol
What ever it is there's one hell of a fault there somewhere:bow

ooo ooo just want to add, that was with the roof rack on

as a idea on the mpg you should be getting from your mistral ..... i regularly go to norfolk , a distance of 213 miles from here .. it costs me £40 in fuel based on the fact i use half a tank of fuel .... i realise its not a exact measurement , but its a idea , so based on that , i get around 400 miles from a full tank ... ( 80 litres ) ...... i suspect my friend you have quite a serious problem , either you have a serious fuel leak or summat else ..... solarman 216 is the man to ask :thumb2

also bear in mind that was calculated on fuel being around £1 or just over a litre

Ummmm I'm losing the plot a bit here...how do you go from 110 miles on half a tank to 400 miles on a full one? :nenau

I guess he's lead booting it around town in sport mode :lol
Probably never gets out of second. That's the down side of autos I think, esp for me as a petrol head right footer:augie
