Full tank range.

I use to be getting 320 miles on estimate range when I fill up. Now I get around 250 on estimate range.

What are you guys getting when your tank are full?

Range is a poor measure. Use mpg - and that will vary significantly due to environmental factors.

But to your question, around 200 to 250 miles. City driving and pressing the loud pedal makes a big difference

All depends on recent history, I've had 300, I've had 400. Got 500 out of a tank but wasn't the estimate.
(edited, 500 estimate was in my F40)

I've found the tank is 14 gallons and I usually average 26mpg. (mostly city)
So the range should be ~365 miles

Find that hard to believe unless your city is very hot and has very few stop starts and you are always in eco poo.

Anyway, the real pain with this car is nagging you at 50 miles remaining range to fill up again.

It's about 80% city. Also 3 gals of E85. It's probably closer to 25mpg.
I drive in Sport Ind w/ comfort trans. I don't get on it much.

We don’t get E85 in the UK. I’ve run the car only on Shell V power (99 Ron<5% ethanol) since new.
