Tank range

Had a longish drive from Somerset to Essex and back recently at a sensible 70/80mph which resulted in 430miles on a single fill up with 35miles remaining, must say I’m been impressed with the fun/cost ratio that the 20i provides

Er ... um ... ah ... mine does slightly less.

About 100 miles less.

100 miles on a tankful is appalling Buster, you should get that looked into

Actually, 330ish to a tank sounds pretty good considering the engine the 35is has got

That's incredible for a 35is, mine barely saw over 200 to a tank

i need to ask.. how the hell did you keep it down to 70/80 ?
mind you, i have discovered there is something wrong with my pedal, it seems to be far too close to my right foot

A speed awareness course for being clocked at a blistering 79mph tends to concentrate my mind on the speed
(Especially after having that pesky 155mph limiter removed)

Your mileage is obviously excellent and I think you're right that mine's not bad.

What surprises me more about mine, though, is the small difference between local & thrash it mileage and longer journeys. Probably 10%.

I know how to make mine sing between 4k & 7k revs and, unless I'm going shopping, always do, but I don't think it's ever been below 270.

200 sounds like a hole in the tank.

I have seen 430 on my regular runs optimum, I thought id nearly drained the tank dry ...

It normally comes in around 380 indicated with 30 to 50 on the range left.

Unmolested 28i so Well happy with that

You should be getting really good mpg then. Mine is far too close to he carpet.
