"I drive a car that I dont even bother reading the mpg in.. so sorry can't help. I roughly say 70miles for 10quid these days more on a run " So if I stick £30, I should at least be able to make it one way maybe? | |||

" That's probably about right, I'd say about 45-50 quid for a round trip. Depending how heavy your right foot is. Mr H. | |||

"So random question but how much do you reckon I’d need in petrol to get from Leicester to Manchester? I have a little Chevrolet matiz but only been driving since last Thursday so still on my first £10 of petrol lol" I wouldn't try to cut it that close. You never know what could happen amd traffic jams will guzzle fuel. If you rrun out of petrol you could get shunted, or get fined £100 i think. Its always best to carry fuel you dont anticipate needing than not have what you end up needing | |||

"So random question but how much do you reckon I’d need in petrol to get from Leicester to Manchester? I have a little Chevrolet matiz but only been driving since last Thursday so still on my first £10 of petrol lol" A matiz doesn’t have a powerful engine. My car has a 2.2l engine and Leicester to Manchester is approx 105 miles according to Google maps. That would cost me about £8 each way if the roads are clear and no stop start problems due to traffic or roadworks. | |||

"My advice to any new driver is this….. Leave the needle on the gauge go down past the red, and your fuel indicator will have been on and illuminated to say ‘fuel low’ or words to that effect for at least 10miles, your adrenaline will have kicked in, you make it to your destination with an enormous sense of gratification and your maiden game of ‘Petrol Roulette’ will be under your belt. You can dine out on motoring glory for months to come..!! Thank me later x" Yes and if it’s an old car you will have had all the sludge from the bottom of the tank running through your engine. | |||

Fuel gauges aren't that accurate and you don't want to run out of fuel and be stuck somewhere and you don't want to be driving on strange roads searching for a petrol station preying that it doesn't splutter and die. Please be safe and fill up | |||
