Yeah mine is about the same, I get roughly 170 miles to a tank however I know that when i put that fuel in, I can get anywhere regardless of conditions so I don't really mind. My audi coupe does 400 miles to a tank and that is more than twice the size of the jimny's tank, but it's going nowhere in these conditions.

Its nice to know MPG... I like to keep an eye on it.

Even in my Focus RS i keep an eye on how many MPG its doing, its currently making between 330-350bhp and returns 25mpg, will do about 28-29mpg on a decent run.

I keep an eye on it because if it suddenly starts doing 10mpg then I know something is wrong somewhere.

I went on a long jaunt for the new year and decided to check how mine did - 196 miles from filling it to the brim to when i darent risk it - not bad for considering it was comfortably cruising at about 80+ on the motorway for 130 of them :whistle: Might have to try it a 70 when im not in a rush :blush:

I get around 160 miles to the tank, but mines far from standard and undergeared with a 6:1 rocklobster box. I wish it did a little more as finding a petrol station mid laning trip is hard going - certainly in wales on a bank holiday in the middle of nowhere...
