How many miles to a tank? Gen 4

Previously, in another topic, we discussed the difference between tank capacity and usable fuel.

I can confirm from flying and Martin has from his boats, usable fuel is the meaningful figure.

After a wading experience, one chap in South Australia removed several litres of water from his Gen 4 fuel tank.

It's not :whistle:

l've not tried to find out how far we can get on a full tank in our 2020 Jimny, but what l can say is we are averaging 42mpg.

l've reset the average fuel indicator a few times and it always ends up between 41 and 43mpg.

This compares with 26mpg in my Defender 110 and around 48mpg in our VW Up GTi

Considering the type of vehicle that the Jimny is, l am very happy with 42mpg in almost exclusively urban driving.

To achieve this l drive carefully but not so much that l hold anybody up.

Motorway is 65mph. Perfectly happy at that speed, much more relaxing than titting down the outside lane at 90+mph

Have tried 70-75 mph and it's OK but less relaxing, more noisy, and about 7mpg less. Also at that speed you are constantly changing between the middle and inside lanes.

The light comes on when the bars have gone down to 1/10th which would suggest there was 4L left which would fit in with my approx 30 mile left observation.

I've had about eight litres left when filling up with the light on, so agree that it seems to have more in reserve than you would expect.

5litres left for me when the last bar flashes.
80 litre Long Ranger tank.

Anybody managing to average over 45mpg in their Gen 4 Jimny?

l figured it might be possible somewhere flat like Norfolk (U.K.)
