Ya, I'd go with the two above on a standard vehicle.

It will reduce slightly with mods like larger tyres, roofrack, larger intercooler etc.
With all this, and more, fitted I'm still getting about 28-30mpg and 350 miles from 3/4 of a tank I always fill-up when it gets to quater of a tank so I've still got a good 100 miles worth of fuel left.

With the amount of mileage I do normally a tank-full will last me three weeks to a month and with diesel now 96.5p a litre on the island it's just as well!!  :wink:

Island life for you!!  :D  
Normally we only do about 160 to 200 miles in a week and that's in either the Disco or the Rangie, depending on which one's out the front.  :wink:

I quite often wish for a quieter pace to life.

There must be more than work, work, work.

By the way, as I was on the A64, just to the east of York, heading towards the east coast (of Yorkshire) on Friday afternoon I came across a farmer selling 'Bio-Diesel' from his yard.
I think it was sign-posted at 69p/litre

I get around 450 form a tankful but there is probably enough to get another 25 if I really ran it down.

That is in an auto too, mixed motorway and road driving on AT's..

I believe you could expect less if you run on MT's but dont know for sure
If I could only find some mud to play in, I would be as happy as the preverbial pig!!!
