Â£30 , Â£1.199 =25.02

4.5 litres per uk gallon
(Giving it some beans, also an approximate figure as i cant keep it floored over the full 80 miles, but it wasnt far off! which means the actual on throttle fuel economy is worse! lmao)
25.02/4.5 = 5.56 gallons

80 miles on 5.56 gallons = 14.38mpg

cheers meilack i sort of nicked your layout here

2.1 zetec turbo

yea i know i thinks its doin bout 27mpg. it runs a bit rich and i think its also because i got my foot flat to the floor the majority of the time to make it go a bit, but its still really slow.

Â£35 @ Â£0.959 = 36.50 Litres

36.5/4.5 = 8.11 Gallons

240miles / 8.11 Gallons = 29.59 Mpg

42.50 @ 1.09 = 38.9 (long time agao i know lol)

38.9/4.5 = 8.64

105 / 8.64 = 12.1

didnt relise it was that bad lol was driven full on for most of that though

I'm on course for some good mpg methinks!

Put Â£20 in the Pulsar Sunday night, done 80 miles for work yesterday and today, and used a quarter of a tank, which is pretty good compared to normal. At that rate, I might be lucky and see 150 miles from Â£20!

Problem is, once it goes below a quarter, it disappears even quicker :squint:

I'll see what it's done after work tomorrow
