In my first week of ownership, and having done its first measured refuel I'm delighted to report 40.41mpg.

For a chap whose last 5 cars frequently ran at <20mpg and I'm not sure I've ever owned a car that did >30mpg this is something of a revelation, and the final nail in the coffin of any thoughts to returning to commuting to work by train.

I usually get close to 40 litres in the tank and tend to get 240 to 260 Miles per tank. I am happy with anything over 30 and have never dipped below this since ownership.

Has anyone got a picture of their fuel gauge when just toped up?

Just over the top of the full mark if i remeber correctly. Will try to get a picture tomorrow. She has just been filled up for my trip to Scotland.
First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

The best we ever saw was just over 400miles while cruising in Europe. That was running on fumes for a very long time though!!  s:D :D s:D

I used to get between 240 and 270 to the tank out of my Yaris T Sport so i am not too bothered. Just wondering if the P0135 and P0155 codes i am getting for Lambda sensors (left and right) is affecting economy. If i got 300 plus i would be one happy bunny!

I clear 300miles comfortably with a 2zz! Over 30mpg should do over 300 miles??
