Cheers Jaimz, will look in to that!

Chuck Norris, why do you think this?? Not that your wrong or anything, as someone else has said it to me, but I didnt see that in my small print, but would need to double check again.

meh! i get 600miles to tank and my car isnt to far off a fez st.

i think if you get a C2 derv you would get really fed up with the lack of speed. 70bhp, 14+s to 60  
if you want a small cheap car look at the 1.3dci clios they have 100bhp and still do 65mpg.

WTF do you drive? a Tank?

I reckon I can only get 200 miles per tank

Im doing Sheffield to Basingstoke this weekend. Im going to refuel at Oxford just to be sure.

You must drive like a nutter

edit: My mates selling a black hardtop, dunno if youre interested but she dont want much for it.

200 Miles!!!
F00k! I got 550 on my last tank & Ive been flooring it a fair bit. can get over 600 if I drive like an old c**t instead of just a c**t.

Im not too sure what Ill be getting really. Ill just be getting a cheaper car......still would probably want summat pretty fast!

My step bro spoke to one of the sales managers at a ford garage he knows, and he said theyd be able to give me Ã,£8700.....although I owe Ã,£8900. Thats not deffo that hed 100% buy it off me, but thats what hed give me. So I will ask about at a few other garages and see.

Ive noticed a lot of modern cars have sucky milage.  The 1.6 Twinport Astras for instance where terrible for eating petrol up.  The one i had for a few days did ~300 miles on a full tank.  That was 50/50 motorway and town, the 2.0FSi Passat i had a couple of weeks later did more than that, IIRC i got about 450 miles.

Well Im still getting used to it, I probably am far too aggressive for want of a better word when accelerating as I was used to flooring the Clio, Im sure thats where the fuel is going.

Sheffield to Birmingham used nearing half a tank, thats sat doing 70-80 mph most of the way on the motorway, and its around 80 miles.

I think there and back used 3/4 tank including a short hop around in Brum, so 170 miles maybe?

I could be interested in the hard top, although do you think a black hardtop would look alright against silver? Heated screen right? You can PM me more about it if you know a price, etc.

I know I probably should get far more mileage from it. Its 170 miles to Basingstoke, so Ill see if I do use a tank. If I do thats pretty rank.

Sitting at 70-80mph shouldnt be too horrific, it might be braking down to 50 and then booting it back up to 80 thats the problem.

The biggest difference in mpg in my motor seems to come between about 65-70 and 80, that gap makes a real dent in the fuel.

iirc going twice as fast needs four times as much power ?

I can get 50mpg at 70mph
but get 18mpg at 120mph



(mpg guage = win!)

350 miles out of a tank of juice in my calibra, average

this is all kinda mute tho as we all have different sized tanks.....I can get 600 out of mine...just cost me more to fill up in the end !

true, mines 60L

i never have a full tank so i havent got a clue

Because the only time I had anything like this with paying monthly was with my car insurance, and they asked for the part monthly payment + Ã,£100 legal fees for sending me a letter when I cancelled my policy halfway through the month.  I think it applies if you pay in arrears.

thats crazy financial advice.

youre gonna be paying for a 10k car for 25 years.

if you must get rid of the car then the way to do it is to sell it private for as much as possible. then pay the remaining finance off.

you need to know that you wont get stung for all of the interest on the finance agreement, cos if you do, youre probably looking at paying back more than you loaned. this bit is very important.
