Hey,
Just wonder what people can get out of a full tank on these? Iv managed to get about 320 and red light has come on.
Its a great engine out of town but when its stop starting etc it soon drinks the stuff.

I managed to get 500 out of an x16xe, seriously taking it easy though. About 160 ragging it though.
x12xe I got about 350, never had a x14xe, but you could probably get more to be fair.

Round about 300, but when you put the foot down it really starts drinking.

On my X14XE I got 435 miles in 1 tank.
And that included some hooning back from a Corsasport meet on the M25 on the way home, then a long trip down to Cornwall.
I'd say it had another 10 or so miles too.
Usually got about 300-360 though.
