    4.5 litres in a gallon - around 7 litres of fuel from £10..
    
    I get 60-80 miles from 10 litres / £12.99 - just over 2 gallon so 30-40mpg 16v

    That's roughly 3.3 gallons, which works out to around 35.5mpg.
    
    If that's from town driving, that's pretty good.

    If your not going out the way to fill up £10 at a time or so i'd say bits at a time, save weight yo

    Definitely more, i put in a tenner when my light was on, and the light came on in about three hours. When i put in 20 it normally sits just below the half mark, or dead on it

    False economy putting in bits at a time IMO.
    
    Full tank, saves going to the pump every other day.
    
    There's a guide written by barry123 on how to save fuel, look it up

    i get about 170 miles outta £25 roughly, mines only a lil 1.1 though. but i like a good thrash n stick to the 60's where i can on hilly, windey country roads. whack in some of that fuel additive stuff (redex is the best brand) helps clean out the fuel tank and system and will help your car run at a better performance. i did it a few months back because my fuel was being pissed out aswel so i whacked in some fuel and oil additive ands it seemed to help out. give it a go mate.

    if i change my oil to fully synthetic castrol and get a new air filter like a green cotton or something it will increase mpg? i use momentum fuel seems to be a bit better than normal unleaded.

    Wow, The grammar in this thread! LOL
    Made me feel a bit better about my MPG though, even though its not a saxo.
    £20 i get 100 mile, if i drive very, very carefully.
    I cant afford to not drive carefully, so there's little to compare it too.
