Red SLR Posted August 12, 2000 Share Posted August 12, 2000 your fuel tank?(some people eh?!) I am going to pick up my shiny new SL 1600K in a couple of weeks. I live up in sunny (it better had be) Manchester. Does anyone know how far I will get on a full tank of juice? Also are the fuel gauges accurate? Thanks Simon.

Dartmoor7 Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 About 36 litres I believe. This is about 8 galls so 240 miles should be easy at reasonable speeds. My fuel gauge sticks on 1/4 full for a while then drops straight to empty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red SLR Posted August 13, 2000 Author Share Posted August 13, 2000 Thanks for that - I think will have to make a splash & dash on the approach to Manchester then just to save any possible embarrassment! Thanks - Simon. X777CAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierson Broome Posted August 13, 2000 Share Posted August 13, 2000 240 Miles!! Blimey, my x/f manages about 140-150 at best before it's running on fumes. And when travelling in Europe, that means putting on weight, too - 'cos stopping every two hours max. means eating at every petrol station. Well, you've got to really - be rude otherwise, especially in France.... Pierson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red SLR Posted August 14, 2000 Author Share Posted August 14, 2000 I suppose poor fuel economy is the price to pay then! Mind I can't see myself enjoying a high speed B-road in a 900cc fiesta. Simon. X777CAT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dartmoor7 Posted August 14, 2000 Share Posted August 14, 2000 Yeah, I forgot to mention mine's a 1400 SS, which is why it's so much better than your X-flow but probably similar to Simon's car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
