Ok so its a diesel, but still in all my time on the forum I've never managed more than 1000km on a tank - granted my cars have either had tiny tanks or BIG engines but To break 744miles on a single 60litre tank was kinda cool! especially with no mods since I bought it 2 weeks ago - I haven't even checked the tyre pressures yet!

The other cool thing? the range to empty said it had another 73 miles to go!

My Sister-in-law who drives the Renaultsport 225bhp (2.0L turbo) hatchback version of this car couldn't believe that a Megane could go so far, especially when she struggles to get 350miles out a tank of super unleaded go-go juice.

Next target 800miles on one tank.

I know from the maths of 744+73= 817 it should be do able But:

1- I put over 55 litres in when I filled the car up. which means I about 1 IMPGal left which gives me about 57 miles IF I run the car dry.

2- You NEVER want to intentionally run a commonrail diesel dry!

(p.s. currently lead Renault in the Ecomodder diesel list, 3rd highest Frenchy too!)
