I've done 500 miles, but 300 was when i went to Manchester to collect some wheels from Cameron then 100 to Milton Keynes all in the same week, and it was only 2/3 full.

A friend of mine has an auto 850 T5 that he only gets about 250 miles from! wondering if something is wrong going by the figures above

I always fill up after about 300 miles, fuel gauge is usually on the 5 gallon mark at this point so abother 100 odd miles left. I've done 380 before. I've also noticed I get slightly more now i'm using V-power all the time... maybe just me though!

Ive regularly seen 500 miles on the thing till empty but it never happens, however I do get 250 miles out of £40

After my RICA remap I regularly get 465 miles from a full tank to just before the light comes on. Before the remap I was getting ~430 to a tankfull in the same driving and routes.

I get between 225 and 250 out of mine. All A road driving no motorway....Yes I have got a heavy right foot....LOL.......

Before the RICA map I was getting an average of 400 out of every tank. My record was 520 last year when I went to the south of france where I also went 80 miles with the cruise control on and didn't have to touch the brake once!

I'm going to Scotia on holiday in the T5 in two weeks, I'll not be breaking 70mph (mother-in-law in the car lol), and I think it's a 345mile journey to where we're staying. I'll have the boot full of cases, the mother in law, my lad a the hound in the car. I'm sure I'm getting more mpg than before the work I just did, I will be finding out, no doubt....
