Fuel gauge and economy of my C70 T5.

[foammanmark]

Used the C70 yesterday for the first time in a couple of weeks and I knew that the fuel was low when I last parked her up. She started up immediately but the fuel gauge needle didn't move at all, so I very carefully drove to my local station. Just over 58 litres and she was absolutely full to the brim, so I had nearly 10 litres left in her. Worked out the mpg on that tank on which I'd done 447 miles, so averaging just under 35mpg.

I haven't driven slow all the time either..............honest!

Jesus. I get 260 to a tank.

Is that with a C70? I squeeze the best out of the car for my work mileage but I still put my foot down quite a bit. It's lowered and has a JR panel filter, and the filter definitely makes a difference.

Are you allowed to use economy and t5 in the same post?...........Should we be worried about fuel economy i try not to think about it as it would scare the sh17 out of me!

Think i'd get about 280-290 miles out of a tank from normal driving........more than i thought actually.
