:D

Filled up today as I thought it should be empty.
It took 57lt (holds 90) of diesel and had travelled 758kms, city driving.
I'm thinking around 1200kms to the tank.
VERY similar economy to my SRi.


Needless to say, Im pretty happy with that.

What Van did you end up buying ?
Renault Trafic (aka Opel Vivaro/Vauxhall Vivaro/Nissan Primastar)

Not quite as much fun as the SRi, but after driving it for a week the SRi feels 'strange' and not so nice.

This time i could see the fuel in the neck of the filler, so i know its full.
Kms since new (18/9/06) 1824kms

Update: I'm making a conscious(?) effort to get as far as i can from a tank. Have been taking it easier since last fill (trying to shift at 2k-2.5k rpm max.) with little rapid(yeah right) accelleration.

1003.5ish kms @ 72.5Lt (could see fuel in the filler neck)

That's just amazing fuel economy.

I've been driving the VXR tonight and the trip meter is reading 21 l/100Km :eek:
