If only someone had come up with a figure the linked fuel usage with distance traveled....

10 will be about a gallon and a half. I get 25mpg in the s2k so 37 miles.

Skoda fabia 1.4 driver (sadly!)

Urban average around 30mpg - it has a computerised read out on the dashboard telling me!

1 litre is around 131p here, 1 gallon is 4.55*131 = £5.97

£10 / 5.97 = 1.68

1.68 * 30 = roughly 50 miles!!

I would definitely question that... More like 40-45 really haha!

Buy an Ampera, you would get about 500 miles for a tenner, it does 314mpg.

Seat belt is useless.

By my calculations 50, though I have since added a new engine and exhaust so 30mpg (which was an estimate to begin with) probably isn't' all that accurate any-more.

30 mpg
6.59907472 mpl
4.961710316 miles/£
49.61710316 miles/£10

who needs significant figures!

I was getting at the fact it wouldnt be much use at that speed if anything was to happen.

Head on smash, probably not...
Although if you get a puncture and bounce off the guard rails a few times it probably would help!

And you are an idiot not to wear a seat belt.

I don't understand people who don't wear seatbelts.
It takes what 2 seconds to put one on?

Your also an idiot for travelling at the speed in the uk road.
For taking a photo of it while doing so.
And then for sticking it on a public forum.

I gave him the benefit of the doubt and assumed he was on a track. Because no one can be that stupid. Surely?

Haha!

You should just about be able to leave the gas station before immediately having to re-enter.

About 70-80 miles. I drive a Toyota Aygo Go! 1.0 Petrol.


Man I :heart: those cars! But you should get a bit more?

I mean if I drove in my town, I'd expect around 70 miles on my Civic hybrid (My Civic on paper does 57.6Mpg, yours does 61.4Mpg on paper)

On the motorway, I'd expect around 90 - 100 miles

Ranges from lots to not lots depending on fuel quality, where I'm driving, what car I'm in, my mood, etc.

It is a fun car to drive!

You're right, sorry I just estimated roughly before.

I worked it out properly now and it looks like about 85 urban miles for £10 (I don't drive very economically though!).
