The last four days phil, thanks for noticing
But on a serious note... is it possible to do that mileage on half a tank or is it broke?

BS a 12v does that.
I could belive a 1.6 does that at a sensible speed.

the most I've ever got out of my 1.2 8v was 400 miles to a tank. I don't doubt I could get some serious mileage out of the XE on a long enough run, but definatley not the sport

1.2 16v i usually got 350ish to a tank
1.6 16v i usually get 300 to a tank, which is why i'm a bit confused

Beat ya, I've managed 425, did about 424, with the last about 23 on the petrol light, couldn't be bothered going to the petrol station, so I went home, then hoped I could get to the petrol station the next day and I managed it

no doubt it could be done, all depends on where you drove, how you drove etc... I can only get about 70 miles to £10 atm

I don't believe my guage, I can get out one day and it'll be on half a tank, next day it's on 3/4s
I just reset the trip meter when I fill up, and go off that and the petrol light
