Petrol
How much do people put in to fill the tank (roughly) and how many miles do you you get until the light comes on, I want to see a few examples to see whether mine is roughly the same.

It costs me about £36 to fill it with Optimax from when the light goes on and I can get 300 miles before it lights up again, 80% of which is probably motorway driving. If I drive it hard, which my baby loves then I get about 280 miles...then with the roof bars/rack I get barely 260 miles...
But that you have to realise that no two drivers are the same, engines, driving style so you only get a rough idea...whether your engine is performing as it should.

When I last filled from the petrol light coming on, I put in £37 at 99.9p per litre. Each car will be different and all of us will probably pay differing prices for fuel around the country depending on where we live, plus it depends on if you fill up with regular 95RON or premium (Ultimate or Optimax) 98RON fuel! Lots of variables to take into account!
Fuel prices, well regular petrol in Shrewsbury is 92.9p per litre, I went to Llanfair in Wales on Monday and as I travelled into Wales the price was rising by penny at a time and at Llanfair the nearest garage to my destination was charging 95.9p per litre

When i drive its usually motorway driving (and I TRY to take it slow cause the car revs high at mway speeds)
I get about 310ish to the tank (i dont let the light come on usually). If i use optimax I get atleast another 40miles and the car feels a little more puncy. But recently ive been putting normal stuff in cause optimax is about 98p/litre at the mo.
