Post Your Tank Range Here!

[fuzzer]

Have you done this yourself Fuzzer or are you just working it out with the manufacturers figures? The reason I ask is my mate has just been reading this and has the 530d saloon and reckons if he gets between 400 - 450 he's done bloody well.
Maybe you drive like my mum though

BTW I manage between 480 and 550 normally although my dad managed 660 in his going to Spain.

ive done it in the 270 i dunno is thats close to the manuf figures or not .

My last Tank had a range of 5000 metres. Anything beyond that and you were liable to inflict "friendly fire".

280 - 345 miles on the previous E280

My first week with the S500 has seen me get 500 miles from a full tank, 90 litres ( 20 Gallons in old money ). The needle was as low as I dare take it before I filled up.

So 500 in the 500! Spooky or what, I think I'll give Derek Accorah a ring.

M.L. 270, The Bride driving = 450 miles used 60 liters town & country driving = 33mpg
Me driving = 300 miles used 60 liters town & country driving = 22mpg(figures rounded off).The Bride proberbly does more mpg than that.

SLK 230, My Toy not bothered.

Not quite sure of the point of all this! Presumably a C43 has the same size of tank as a C180. You're not going to go as far in a C43 - DAHHH!!!

I see it's been a couple of years since the last mpg post.

For years and years, I've kept a little book (Oh yes!) and noted my mpg by maxing the tank every time. Yes, a bit anally-retentive, but I reckon anything unexpected might warn me of looming disaster And having got to know some of the fellow saddos on this forum, I feel I can confess to this quirk!

Anyhow, I can tell you that my 124 Coupe has a 70 litre tank including 9 litres reserve - and the light is very accurate.

Without the aid of Chrome Pedals, but with aircon always on, say 15% urban motoring....

Over 20,586 miles - Average 26.6 mpg; £2545.51; ave 72.3p per litre.
Farthest distance, before nerve ran out - 433 miles; 62 litres; 31.7 mpg
Best tankfull - 425 miles @ 33.6 mpg
Worst tankfull - 240 miles @ 18.6 mpg

Contrary to some opinions expressed here, I believe cruise control saves petrol!

My point is, that if you plonk a big thirsty V8 into a class with the purpose of making it a relaxed long distance cruiser, you would assume that it would benefit from a bigger tank to allow for a decent range. Having the same size tank as a 180 is the joke... And to you too!

 

[fwb44]

And to you too!
