How Far Can You Get On £20 of Petrol/Diesel?

[Deleted User]

At current prices, how many miles are you getting for £20 fill up from empty?

I got about 130 miles out of £20 which I put in a week past Thursday before refilling again from empty.

2001 1.6 Megane.

Not sure on the relevance of the question as £20 can buy varying amounts of fuel.
Ordinarily you would expect 28mpg plus during peak time driving alone.
On top of do people really put in less than 4 gallons from empty?

Last 2 tankfuls have averaged 48 mpg. With the 2 different ppl prices, £20 would have been 192 miles and 197 miles.

2008 1.6 diesel Cee'd.

I'm averaging 51.3mpg (5.56l/100 km) in my Golf GT 2.0l TDi 140PS Bluemotion.

At 109.9p per litre then £20 would get me 18.2 litres = 4 gallons. So £20 would get me about 205 miles.

My 63 plate 208 gets 65.6mpg - we pay 110.9/litre here so 3.96 gallons --> 260 miles

That car replaced a much older petrol car doing 31mpg. The fuel saving alone covers 75% of the cost of the lease.

Stoke

£30 gets me about 450 miles, which is 69MPG.

Petrol £1.05/l £20=4.18gall@55mpg=230
