I used to frequently do around 415 miles on a tank, that's about 36mpg (with mostly motorway driving).

Now I'm doing 390 max, even after servicing it. Is this much lower than expected and could something be wrong? I don't drive it that hard.

What do other people get?

Thanks,
George

Unfortunately 34mpg...... maybe i have a heavy foot as i live on the edge of wales where there aint too much traffic and a lot of bends... 8 ) can't help myself!
Or is that about right?
I was lead to believe "35 mpg and quick" was what to expect, so was quite happy.

I get around 35mpg according to the computer.
Or 370-390 according to my trip meter.
Not sure if those figures match each other....
50 litre tank = 10.99 galls x 35 = 385. Yep, about right.
I do a short run of about 10 miles twice a day, some urban, some A road.

that sounds consistent with mine, mine's very slightly more but I do two 20 mile trips a day plus some short weekend ones.

I'm going to replace my lamda sensors soon - that may improve it somewhat.
