A quick help with a mpg calculation please.

We did 193 miles on 1 tank of petrol back from Cornwall.


I'm unsure of the size of the tank so can't work out what I was getting.


Cheers

 

thought it was 62 lites?

 

Mines 56, looked in the manual the other day.

 

Ouch! I was taking it lightly mate! On to mech and tech for advice on sorting out fuel economy.

 

that sounds about right for an old dub lol

 

just looked in my book (usa) 14.6 us gallons 12.1 imperial gallons 55 metric litres

 

My camper van has a 1.6 tp engine in and averages about 23mpg, my split pick up which has a 2.0 type 4 engine in does about 27mpg.
My new beetle cab does about 33mpg on a good day, so it's nearly better to drive the pickup.

 

i don't even wanna guess mine but i think it's about 17mpg.....2 litre autos aren't the best at mpg

 

I'm sure it wasn't 17ish. Fill it up now and then work it out:

Miles times by Litres divide by 4.54

 

fill it up! are you insane? i need that £100 quid............
actually i'm gonna fill and do a test on the blackpool run, i only usually stay local at the moment and my petrol cap don't lock so i usually chuck £20 in here and there.....but i need mine tuning i'm led to belive it's running hot due to being set to lean....you don't get this fart about with diesels....

 

I cannot get more than

 

Brown paint weighs more ricky didnt you know that?

 

Found i get better economy since i fitted a pertronix ignitor, just redone aservice of new plugs and a air filter, and dizzy cap, and reset timimg,
Think the tappets need doing, but im sure i was getting a extra mpg, average about 25,
i put a pertronix in because the lobe on dizzy was worn. pionts would be measuring different on each corner,
