I got 325 miles on the tank with plent y of vtec use.....Doggo wrote:Sailor wrote:My most recent full-to-full of vpower was 346 miles at 47l, or approximately 33.4 mpg.
Only about a third of it was on big roads, and although I didn't rag it all the time, I wasn't frightened of revs.
I'd expected mid to high 20s, to be honest.Knowing your posts, Sailor, I have absolute confidence that that's the truth. And I have no idea how you do it!
Edit: You too Rudelude....sorry, missed your post. (And Prelude91 now!)![]()
Once or twice i have managed 300 miles (Using around 49.5 litres!) and steady on the motorway. Usually 270 miles feels like taking it easy. On a twisty road where i'm in 2nd or 3rd VTEC I haven't calculated but I think I'm probably well into the teens (Not in an Lxstuart kind of way). Bear in mind that I baby it until the engine is warm, use V-Power and in 55k miles the car has had 16 services and 2 sets of belts.
Pyemaster - hope you have some luck with this soon.
I've now filled up with v-power...65£ worth.... Gonna be nice to the car and see what it returns.... I'm guessing it won't be that dis similar to vteccin all the time... I think most ludes should b good for 300miles per tank or they need a good service...

I'm quite surprised how little interest this is getting
It's such a lot of car for the money, I can't think of many other reliable, well built, fast, relatively economical, safe, loaded sports coupes you could get for £850.
It's advertised on four forums, Autotrader, eBay and Gumtree and I've only had a few tentative bits of interest. Yes it has higher mileage, but I'd always trust a well serviced and looked after 175,000 mile engine over a poorly serviced one with 80,000.
Ah well!
