^^^^ how many miles do u get from a tank?

Nearly 400 miles!

 

[Not a Diesel!!!]

Wife had a 182 & then a Trophy & averaged 40mpg over a couple of years.

B Road Driving on Super.

Same route in 197 gets her 36 mpg.

So 10% worse.

As a daily?? Not just on a run? What do u fill it with, diesel?! Lol

My old 172 Cup once showed 46mpg on a steady 70mph+ motorway run. It would easily average 40 mpg tho, calculated not indicated. I should never have gotten rid of that car....

Lol!! I'm amazed, I fill it will super unleaded and best I've had is 300 miles, only 1/2 squirts as well! Mainly driving like an old *******, do I've given up now, I drive it how I want lol

My 197 will get anywhere near! A TBH although I really like my 197, I hope I've been testing some of the Kodak 10 other motor

Ive got a 172 and i dont think ive ever seen it below 28mpg.

Usually sits around 30 in town and 40-50 in longer runs.

When i tested the 200, i seen the 19mpg when i was booting it and ran away

My 182 was a lot better
