Well I get 240 miles out of 44 litres.
Fill the tank up when the orange fuel light is pretty much on solid to full, which is 44 litres for my Rev 3 Tubby.
If I drive keeping car between 50 - 60 MPH with the odd heavy right foot action to blast round slow cars I avearge just under 6 miles a litre.
I tend to not do too much slow / town driving due to location of house and work, all roads near me are national speed limit except the ind estate i work on and my locak town, so even with the air con on I don't notice much of a differance in mileage per litre when driving and that's on the cheep Shell petrol, also still doing the same journeys I did not find the expencive Shell V Power stuff any better in fact the only differance I found was in my back pocket !!!!!

Heavy right foot!
Re: £15 = 50 miles - Poor MPG
It all depends on how you drive 20 -30+ mpg from heavy or light footed but I have noticed my fuel economy is much worse on short trips until the coolant is up to temperature.
I have changed my thermostat on my rev4 which speeded it up a bit but the engine is running rich after starting with fast idle for far too long compared to my previous rev2.
I suspect another of my temp or sensors is faulty so I will get around to changing them when I find out where they are!
Still need to learn the effects of a faulty air inlet or coolant temp switch or sensor before forking out for something that isn't needed on a NA mr2.

70mph motorway use with vaccum to no boost up to 30mpg but motorway boosting and it's back down to 20mpg
