That's crazy, 240 miles before it moves off full, I bet you just watch the needle move after that :/
Tanked the car a week last Thursday and haven't used the car since last Sunday - Trying to use the car less now with the price of Diesel at £2.00 a litre But I think I have done about 150 - 170 Miles on this fill up and I have a 100+ mile journey tomorrow (50ish there, 50ish back) So i'll see what my mileage is after this weeekend and then try and work out my mpg. Will post next week |

I have a 07 V50 with the 2.0D engine. I do roughly 90% motorway driving and my commute to work is a 60 mile round trip. I sit at 70mph with the cruise on most of the journey and I average around 54mpg and get around 520miles between fill ups. I fill up at my local sainsburys.
As others have said don’t try and use your fuel gauge as a mpg measure as you’ll never get the same out of the second half a tank as you did the first. I’ve been really pleased with the mpg I get out of this engine. I’m sure if I dropped it to 65mph and took off cruise I could easily achieve nearer 60 mpg! I nearly bought the 1.6D but have to say I’m happy I chose the 2.0
