... You need to know the size of tank, I think there were two or three sizes.
However those figures are pretty reasonable for most of them, between 30 and 40 i'd guess. By the way my seat ibiza does 650 miles to a tank!

Did 250 miles, a couple of times, on a tank full. This was on a 2lt CVH with twin 40 DCNF. Hope this helps.
