Turbo - real world range?

[Trikster]

Obviously I'm not getting the Turbo for it's fuel efficiency, but just wondering what sort of range folks that have already taken delivery are getting fill to fill given the 75 litre tank - appreciate that this should improve as you get more miles on the car.

Having committed to a new client I'm now going to be doing c 300-400/miles a week for the next 12-18 months , not huge in the scheme of things but am I going to be spending my life at the pumps?

and no, i don't want the diesel.... brilliant that it may be...

Not calculated fill to fill, but from the car mpg display, my average is 19.9. I would say the vast majority of my miles (good 80%) are town driving. Think some other members have been quoting averages of around 23mpg to 25mpg. Depending on the type of journeys you are going to be regularly doing, I would say 20-25mpg is a realistic real world benchmark.

I know you are looking for range, not mpg, but this might give you a rough indication until someone does a full to empty run. Ger2014-08-14 09:34:46

So over the last 21 days I've acheived this as an average



It came with a full tank and I have done 7 fill ups and have 119miles left on the last fill up.

I am seeing an average of 306 miles between fill ups and, best I've had is 352.

But my god it's such an awesome car, I don't really mind

Sport plus has me giggling at the lights every time it's brutal, especially with a rep mobile next to us the gap once you hit 60 is staggering, love the fact mine is debadged too. (sorry that's a bit Off topic)

I agree with 300 miles between fill ups and 350+ if doing long journeys. i have just driven to the alps from the UK and did 600 miles in one day to get down here, averaging 25.5mpg on french autoroutes. I left home with a full tank, filled up once and still had a range of 120 miles left when i got here despite having done 600 miles. That was with cruise control set at 130kph but the range increased if i slowed down to 110kph.

i am now run in and boy does this car shift!

Bompey - they do seem more urgent once a few miles are done forge1972014-08-15 00:16:21
