HMC Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 The best ever range on my former fleet was a c5 a6 tdi estate that would do the trip to Germany on one tank- about 680 miles. Can’t beat 1000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhilA Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Yes, but how big is the tank? 35 gallons and that number becomes less impressive... martc 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wack Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 My supercharged range rover reads the same with a full tank Or it might be 100 , not sure Rightnider and eddyramrod 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieInExile Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 That's very impressive. My T5 managed to get me to Coventry and back the other day with fuel to spare, which I was happy with... Range of about 450 miles.

FakeConcern Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Very impressive, however my C30 T5 showed me this the other day... ...actually ended up with about 350 miles as usual... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltox Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I reckon you’d beat that in my A8. Even I can get it saying 850 and we learnt from the X5 how our driving styles differ 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I picked it up the OBC said 48mpg, I rarely got it above 30. I swear the man's commute must be 100 miles each way,dual carriageway only, down a slight hill, drafting a Scania at 56mph.

bunglebus Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Squeezed 730 miles out of one tank in my Passat once over a very busy weekend. Doesn't show a range left though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zelandeth Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 That's pretty impressive! I used to be able to get my 1.9TD Xantia to around 650 miles before filling up again on a decent run - which seemed absolutely ridiculous to me from most of the cars I'd had before that.

Popsicle Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I can't beat that, best I've had showing in the Vectra is just over 900 miles. rantingYoof, MrGTI6 and timolloyd 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JakeT Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 My old 530d business mileage cheater. Would do a comfortable 750 miles to a tank, even 800 if you were in lorry drafting mode. Manual gearbox and fifth was a truly intergalactic gear. lowering the tone outside a posh hotel in Newcastle. Before they asked me to move it.

Rust Collector Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I picked up a Honda Jazz from Eastbourne Car Auctions a few years back, the dealership would send salesmen to collect cars when it was quiet and we couldn’t find ways to look busy. Service driver dropped me at the auction yard and fucked off. I handed over paperwork, found the car, got in, turned it on, needle was off the bottom of the gauge and range indicator showing zero miles… They wouldn’t send you with a fuel card, and fuck putting your own money in and trying to reclaim it. Fuel light roulette it is then… I managed the 12 mile main road run back to the dealership and then dropped it into the service department to run out of fuel on the ramp for the multipoint Honda Approved check. I always wonder how lenient the range counter is… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meshking Posted October 7, 2022 Share Posted October 7, 2022 I was kinda hoping this thread would be about the anxiety of driving a mid to late 90s range rover. De Selby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy F Posted October 8, 2022 Share Posted October 8, 2022 I once did Gloucester to (north) Paris return in Xantia HDi, can't remember the exact mileage off the top of my head, but I get 700 miles per tank wafting around the Cotswolds. When I first drove a leaf it seemed weird to only have the amount of range of the low fuel light of a Xantia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ran my Jazz that low before and when I filled the tank there was still about half a gallon left in it. Rust Collector 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
