Make sure your petrol cap is fitting tightly, check fuel lines for leaks as you wont see it in a puddle on the ground cos it evaporates quickly, run some injector cleaner through the system, don't drive as hard...

Well it's supposed to improve economy, dunno how good it is, only used some a tank ago. Worth a try tho, tis only a few squid. How much do u get outta a full tank then? Bout 240ish?

70 from a 10er, its about right, i get about 140ish from 20.
the least i got was 90 from 20quid 
most i've got was nearly 190 from half a tank. motorway miles tho that.
depends how i drive, wether tis raggin it round (late for work)or just chilled out driving.

ive got a 1.4 16v sport which gets driven hard. I get a hundred miles from a tenner, If i fill the tank i'll get over 300 miles.
100 miles to a tenner is only like 28mpg though which i thinks pretty poor anyway!

I don't think i've ever had 300 miles outta a full tank Noticed that ppl's fuel consumptions seem to vary quite a bit for similar engines

i get about 100 miles on a tenner but thats round town driving. is slightly better on the run. thats driving sensibly tho.
if you hammer it, you can almost watch the needle drop but then i know its overfuelling at high revs cos of the FSE power boost valve i got.
yours and most other peoples sounds shite

I get around 70 - 80 on a tenner, and it never gets thrashed or taken over 75 mph (due to just coming off 3rd ban), its a 1.4 16v SRi
