Fuel Economy - What do you get out of a tank? (3rd gens only)

[deenhameed]

Cool.. I filled it up when I collected the car, and it clicked off at 55 litres.. that's about the same as my Citroen C4 (55 litres.. 600-650kms in the city... diesel though, that's on a 7 seater.. diesel is awesome, except for the horrible noise ) so didn't want to try and overfill.. I'll have to fill it up again next week .. will try and aim for the 70 litres mark,...

No lead foot, just pushed it a couple of times, to check how the tippy works, but mostly suburban driving.. I have a suspicion the dealer put in E10 (only a little, perhaps to make sure I could drive out of the yard), so maybe that's annoying the machine? We'll find out soon enough..

Club Trophee huh? Nice one, my son.. Love those cars.. was thinking of fobbing off the C4 to wife for local duties, and getting one, but afraid of licence... Best to keep the speeding for the track I guess

The fuel gauge is a little misleading. If the needle is around empty to 1/8th of a tank, that's normally around the 50-55 litre mark. The tanks are ~71l.

: of course... i stalled the TS years ago (ran out of petrol) and it took 10-15 litres of fuel just to start it up.. so that's about right. ... thanks.

Anyway, did a fair bit of driving today, mostly highway and with a light foot. Gauge had moved back up to about 2/3 and having done 200kms is now reading just over half.. If it keeps up, that should be good for 400-420kms on a tank, which is about what I thought it would do.. not too bad..

Great thing about the clio is that you can have fun while keeping it sensible
