Just wondered who did what mileage to the show and home again and how much it cost you in fuel?

the weekend cost me 2 tank fulls so about 76 quid. i did about 520 miles. fuckin hamered it on the way back no covoying for me so got to open the G up big styleeee not bothered about fuel consumption hence the heavy foot and the low mpg but enjoyed every minute of it. :-D

I covered bout 240 miles was going nice and steady on the way there cos I had Tris following me. Hammered the shit out of the poor thing on the way back. Only used half a tank for the whole trip. Was well chuffed.

240 miles using half a tank.

I think i drive about 910 miles from Germany to the Polo Show and back.I had pay about 90,-pound for the ferry between Calais and Dover and about 100,-pound for the fuel.

120 miles -- 20 quid in fuel

1L 8-)

i was well over 1000 miles and left aberdeen with 3 quarters of a tank. filled in dundee just to top up so that we all had a full tank. Got me all the way to northampton. :badgrin: mpg was bloody awesom!!!! Filled up a full tank just before i left, got lost and gave it some welly back up the road, had a quarter tank left and then stuck in £20 more quid to get me home. So all in all i think i only spent maybe about £85 in petrol. Not bad for aberdeen to northampton, 4 trips from the hotel and back........also getting lost and then northampton back to aberdeen......very proud of the car. Almost kept up with Andy's deisel mpg!!

The lads were thoroughly impressed with my mpg :p

Oh forgot to say too i've done a further 168 miles on that £63 for 2 days commputing too! :p

i did over 400 miles over the weekend to £40 quids worth of fuel. most of that was probably just pimpin it around the campsigt. :lol:

big thanks to lee_gt for helping me out with some fuel money to get home on.

1142 miles using about £120 of fuel (4 tanks roughly) for me and Tav!

myself and my dad drove about 640miles (thats over and back). spent about €100 in fuel, €132 for the ferry over from ireland, €150 for the ferry back, so thats €382, roughly £267. but it was definatly worth it :nod: . i met a top class group of lads

320 miles and about 7 gallons.

About 40 miles and don't think my petrol guage changed at all :D

Since I came down with Del and Phil I must of done just over 1000 miles. Used two tanks each way. My MPG was 36.5, 40.1, 34.3 and 34.4

With carb problems (had to pull the choke out fully) it cost me about £20.00 up the M1 to the show, about 120 miles at 50/60mph average

Going home down the M11 cost me £10.00 in fuel without any problems, just over 150 miles at an average speed of about 80mph.

your probably gonna laugh but didnt cost me nuthin cus my dad owns the BP garage next door to billing aquadrome so its next door to me :D

ermm F all

Not even half a mile and the needle hasnt moved from a full tank!!!

Did 294 miles to 36.21 Litres of V Power @ 93.9p so i make that 36.9mpg :nod:

0 miles and £0, cos I didn't go :p

Did nearly 140 miles in all (including roaming around Northamptonshire looking for the scrapyard!) and barely got to the third notch on the tank (the one before halfway). Got more than a quarter of a tank left and trip counter reads over 250 miles. MPG got better since Ade reset my ECU to basic settings at Polo Show!

Gemany --> Northampton --> Germany

= 92,5Liters Premium 95 ROZ

which costs 117,80Euro / 79,05GBP,

1358km / 844miles,

and the car needed 6,81liters on 100kilometers.

cheers
