Filled the machine up earlier with vpower diesel, and managed to 67.71 litres of fuel with 27 mile range, how is that possible to do 27 miles 0.29 litres of fuel???? Or am I missing something here???

Tank capacity does not include the filler pipe.

Beaten my 67.64 fill up of 21st June 2010 back then it was £1.169 (maybe Inc a voucher though) Former Mod/Member, with the most post & Chicken George Arch nemesis

I think your maths may be out possibly,
your working's , work out to 100 miles to the liter (Approx)

I work it out to 2045 mpg- (full tank range of approx 28,639 ) 4 fill in ten years of motoring
If that right I must try the shell v power

Landy 19840 - Assuming my use of the calculator is correct, you're being charged £1.449 per litre in your area. I'm complaining about £1.369 here in Cheshire/Wirral area.

Silly me !!! Just noticed it was V power - -that's about £1.429 here so not quite as bad as I first thought

You can get about a gallon in the filler neck, I have put just over 70l in mine when it was about dry! Freelander 2 HSE Lux 2013MY - Barolo Black with Ivory Leather. Alpine DVD - Privacy -Evoque 20" Dynamic Wheels and more to come.........

also remember that fuel pumps are allowed to over-measure the litres and under-deliver the fuel by a certain %. That's why, for fill-to-fill consumption calculation as close as poss, you should use exactly the same pump each time. Gone... 2013 XS TD4 Manual Firenze Red
Gone... 2008 (09MY) XS Td4 Manual Stornaway Grey

Good comment PastMaster - so not only do Supermarkets deliver poor quality diesel (But to the approved standard, obviously ) they also under deliver by volume

Volume also differs with temperature, always use a nice cool garage, you'll get more.

Hav'nt calculated it but maybe as much as an extra 400 yards
