Playing catch up here as I had to fill me car up, drive it for just over 400 miles, then fill it up again and do the maths in the first post.....
Ford Mondeo S reg (1997), 1.8l petrol = 34mpg
I did not attempt to drive it economically at all, and I managed the full range of road types & journey lengths.
My previous vehicle was a 2006 Ford Fiesta ST, 2l petrol = 32mpg
I'd like to work out how my bus is getting on (won't be refilling her again till next month though) - can anyone give me the formula for working out MPG where the vehicle records mileage in KM's please?

KMs x 0.625 = Miles.

Just replaced my 1996 Subaru Impreza Outback Wagon with a 2011 Honda Fit. It promises an average of 35 mpg.
I used to have a real bruiser of a car years ago - a 1967 Ford LTD with a V-8 289 engine. It got 8 miles per gallon! Of course gas was only around $0.32/gallon then (20p/gal).

Can't be bothered with the full maths but my BMW X3 Sports Auto does a shade over 200 miles for £60 in the tank (based on petrol being £134.9-£136.9)

Depending on the car 30 mpg (1.6l 170 bhp), 30 mpg (3.6l 345 bhp), 47 mpg (2.0l, 165 bhp). Care to have a guess at the cars? (All 05 or later.)
OP: Is this thread interesting/helping?
