was just wondering how many miles people are getting out a full tank on the fn2,i got 168 miles on a full tank............
Just got 293 miles and an average of 30.5mpg shown, filled up yesterday.
That was with a full tank of BP ultimate.
My last top up was 265 miles and 29.5 mpg on standard unleaded.

Ended up playing Fuel Light Bingo today
355 miles is the most I have achieved in any of my Type R's.
Generally I get around 300 (indicating 31mpg)
The display showed 0 to empty for approx 2 miles. Then it took 48litres of fuel before the first click. According to the spec's the fuel tank is 50 litres.

The trouble with running that low is not only are you cheating death in terms of running out of petrol, but you also start to suck up all the muck and residue from the bottom of the tank.
I've achieved 380 miles from 1 tank and the fuel light just came on by the time i got to the petrol station.
That was a mixture of all roads!

I know what your saying, and I doubt it will happen again.
But now I know how much is really left in the tank when the light comes on.
Also as the car is only 5 months old, I'm hoping there shouldn't be too much muck in the bottom of the tank.

I have only done one full tank and that did 330. Not bad considering I was, lets say...getting to know the car!! I do find the trip computer especially the MPG bit a little addictive! Makes me drive sensibly!! lol

Dont all modern petrol tanks draw petrol near the bottom area of the tank? if not, then how do they get the last few litres if it was drawn anywhere higher than the bottom?
I think it was at the bottom too on Top Gear where they did the drive from one end of UK to another and see who runs out, Jeremy made it back to the petrol station and the 'petrol tank cam' showed it was drawn from the bottom.
The fuel filter will stop the dirt but i wonder how it gets dirty in the first place? my last fuel filter on a different car had 'dark gunk' on it.

250-300 is great IMO I get between 300-350 on 45 quid in my merc boat and its slow and boring so CTR=WIN IMO.
In the my EP3 I used to get about 250 and that’s was nearly all motorway miles.
The FN2 was slightly more but when it arrived from Birmingham it was averaging 49mpg!! That soon changed he must have driven at 40 mph the whole way!!!
