Filled up the S3, (5 door facelift dsg), interior petrol gauge was showing full, but I didnt brim it because it was still going in full belt when I got to the 60 quid limit, because thats what cash id got on me, hard to know how much room was still in the tank but there was some, and prior to filling up the computer was saying 45 miles left, thats 45 miles of village driving.
Anyway went up to Preston from Nottingham, all motorway, M1 - M62 - M61, 120 miles each way, MPG on the way was going up nicely, but then stop - start traffic due to awful weather conditions right across the m62 completely killed it, still got 42.7 mpg but knew it could be bettered easily.
So coming home the roads were wet still but no standing water and we had no hold ups, got 48.7 mpg going by the computer, I was using efficiency mode and the coast function and just cruising at 60 mph. Had 4 adult passengers and some cases in the boot.
So we did 240 miles and the computer was saying we had 225 miles still in the tank, so in theory 450 motorway miles is plausible.
