345 Miles Full Tank Shell V-Power

xSythan · May 1, 2015

Filled up using Shell V-Power as usual last weekend and drove from hull to Warwickshire then to Sheffield the back to hull was almost a 300 mile round trip then got 3 more runs to work out of it during the week I was amazed that I averaged 38mpg!!

£50 to fill didn't go over 70 at all and I used VTEC once

it was very difficult to restrain myself but it was worth seeing how many miles this car is capable of, my recaros did get a bit uncomfortable after 4 hours though wouldn't recommend long distance commuting in them.

I regularly got 600km out of my DC5 when it was kpro'd. Soul destroyingly boring but possible.

600 miles what are you driving a Prius? Haha

I managed 40mpg in the ep3 a few times after a service. Since I got the derv its 600 miles a still not on the red

That's mega that

I recently managed 362 miles on one tank, barely into the reserve too. However, that's only because the A9 is infested with average speed cameras and I barely got above 50mph from Glasgow to Inverness and back again...... :-({|=

Mine does a lot more mpg now that it's -104kg!

I feel your pain Jimbo those 50mph speed zones gosh!

im very Suprised that I got over 300 miles because my last type r struggled to get 240 miles to a tank, that's partly because I couldn't keep out of vtec with the harmony of the typhoon and BC pro spec unsilenced lol

:lol:

The Jazz claims it's on an average of 51mpg, but I'm suspicious of that number, think it's a bit less. The '85 civic would do 65mpg.

59mpg here..

I usually get 330 miles to standard supermarket fuel, but as said its soul destroying and boring!

I need a diesel for the miles I do :-/

I get on average 220 miles to a full tank that's a combo of normal driving and vtec using she'll v power. You've got to get in the vtec that's the whole point of owning a type r / honda

Fairley_46 · May 7, 2015

I agree, ive filled up with V power recently a few times, and driving it normally, which is engage vtech everytime i drive it ha, i seem to be getting high 200/ early 300 miles out of a tank.

When driving like an old man, light comes around 240/250 miles.

Deffo worth driving it how it should be driven to get the best fuel out of the car.

I completely agree about driving it properly that's why it's there! :asw:But if you do need to commute somewhere far it's not that bad on fuel driven out of vtec! Saying that I'd just get my gf to drive the cooper s d gets around 60mpg
