Never rely on the DIS range. If you get 700 miles on the trip meter from one tank then that's what'll be impressive.
 
I'm very lucky if I can get 700 miles on 2 tanks of petrol :(

When I fill up, I normally have 400ish miles as a range... :racer: Think this week's fill said 410.... :rockwoot:
 
I am slightly surprised with the mpg you guys get. Are you sure yours an S4 . After the full refill My DIS tells me 310 miles but I am at the petroleum station after 200miles. It has definitely improved after the remap though. I now get 240 but that is purely local with occasional local 70mph sprints

700 miles. Pfft, that's easy. Just got to fill up 3 and a bit times :racer:

No S4 here - mine's an S5 :p

95% of my driving is a commute. It is 28 miles each way, with 3 miles of B roads, 15 miles of A roads and 10 miles of motorway. Work is ~ 1 mile off the motorway. Between me and the motorway are 2 sets of traffic lights, two fast flowing roundabouts (never any queues) and I pass through one small village (40mph with no stops through there). Other than that, it's moving all the way - the 28 miles generally take me ~40 minutes, so I'm averaging 45-50ish mph. The 350 miles per tank is a stretch (I don't think I'd get much further!) but has come from real world calcs., based on miles covered and petrol put in the tank.

thought it was a thread for people who have done 700 miles on a tank haha, yeah i wouldnt be trusting that like
 
I've done 600 actual miles on a tank loads of times, but this top up I was on steady traffic A roads for about 20 miles before topping up so it must have been doing some good mpg before topping up.

300 miles to a tank is what I've had since I got the car nearly 3 years ago. Works out at a most impressive 23 ish mpg.

I agree with the above, that is twice as good as just using one tank - is it not, maybe I've missed something somewhere, no, twice the number of Tesco points from my Esso filling stations!
