I certainly can't get anymore out of our Sportka which is the same engine although the Streetka is probably heavier so those figures may be a little optimistic..................

aquila Posted April 21, 2009 Author Share Posted April 21, 2009 Just done over 70miles so far,1/3 of the tank gone! Looks like I will be lucky to get 200!!! :P Oh well,at least its fun............................ :P :P :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babybel Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 How much does it cost you for a full tank? Mine comes to £25, can never put any more in then that.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquila Posted April 22, 2009 Author Share Posted April 22, 2009 I put in £23,although it wasn't empty!!! Usually I put in £20,takes it to over a 3/4 tank. I'm going to wait till the petrol light comes on,just to give me a a better idea :P Then next time I will do the same,changing the filter to a K&N panel filter,just to see if it makes any difference in torque,grunt or fuel economy ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquila Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 That's me done 173miles so far,just about the 1/4 tank! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SierraYankee99 Posted April 26, 2009 Share Posted April 26, 2009 I put in £23,although it wasn't empty!!! :D :D you gotta love small cars. £23 wouldnt get mine out of the red, well ok it would it costs £52 to fill it up from flat empty.

aquila Posted April 26, 2009 Author Share Posted April 26, 2009 People moan that you don't get a lot of mileage ,but as you said,you don't put much in!!! :P Getting over 200 to a small tank aint bad,especially just driving around town ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquila Posted April 29, 2009 Author Share Posted April 29, 2009 Well folks,that's me over the 200 mark,still waiting for the fuel light to come on! :P I reckon the car will do 250 miles easy on a full tank,not bad for a wee roadster. Will try it next week with a K&N panel filter next,to see if it differs ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aquila Posted May 1, 2009 Author Share Posted May 1, 2009 That's the light on folks,done 227 miles,not bad eh! Can be better with a lighter foot but that's no fun!!! :P Reckon you can do better,the challenge is open............ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
