Someone borrowed my car and on returning it said its not got good fuel economy (a VW Golf 1.4 S). It always seemed ok to me, but 've just filled it up and and gonna monitor the miles per tank this coming week.
How many miles per tank do you get ? If possible please state your car make, model, and engine size.
If you diesel people want to chip in with your miles per tank.. that fine too.
For USA... gas for petrol.... and kilometers maybe... but I don't understand those much.

Auto manufacturers used to shoot for a 300 mile range on most passenger vehicles.

I've got a Ford Mondeo, Petrol, 2 litre engine. I get about 390 miles to a tank (about 11 gallons) if I'm on the motorway, but if I do loads of little journeys it drops to about 320.

Vauxhall Vectra 1.8LS petrol 440miles / £48 fills the tank not bad consumption. Also have Volvo 850 2.5 20v 170bhp £60 fill the tank 250miles max. Tend to use the Vectra most obviously

I drive a Ford Escort with a 1.8 litre engine. A full tank gets about 390 miles but it can't hold much petrol.

i have a Jeep Cherokee 2.5 turbodiesel , that does about 400 miles on a full tank if i'm careful, and 320ish if not. that has a 20 gallon (90l) tank, so 20 to the gallon, however i run it on veg oil (yes, i pay tax too) so its a little cheaper

It all depends on what they speed they were doing also. Like if they driving on the motorway and doing 100mph - then more fuel is being used.
