ive only had a full car once and that was doing like 10miles would that of made such a difference?

Heres a few pointers

Fill up in the morning.
Dump your Gf.
Dont eat before driving.
Tear everything out of your car apart from one seat and a window winder.
Pay by card on everything, dont carry change.
Pretend you dont have 2nd, 3rd and 4th gear, Go 1st to 5th like my grandad does

I'm guessing it's a Corsa B? My old 1.2 8v, the tank is such a dodgey shape that it would take forever to get from full to half, then 5 minutes from half to zilch

According to those figures.

£10 + 105 miles = 52.45 mpg

£30 + 150 miles = 24.98 mpg
