Using this ----- http://www.pug306.net/mpg.php

I managed to achieve (using Super unleaded)

MILES COVERED - 398

FUEL USED - £37.50

COST OF FUEL - £89.9



MPG - 43.4
PENCE PER MILE - 9.42p

Quite good i thought to be honest.

Bearing in mind the car is stripped and most of the miles were with one passenger - Very economical driving.

Interesting - considering i usually get around 320 miles to a tank.


thats some expensive fuel your usin there

I was just roughly guessing, my trip meter says i'm getting an average of 49mpg in the Punto, so even guessing slightly you can get a pretty accurate view on what you are getting
