How far to you get on a tank TDV6

Hi how far would you expect to get on tank of fuel.
I only ask as I am going to the top west coast of Scotland, a place called Kylesku and there are next to no fuel stations.
A bit out in the wild but has some great seanery.
Ball park figure would be good,
I can not see me doing any speeds as there are sheep everywhere and narrow twisty roads.

Frax

I get around 330 miles on a full tank however I mostly drive in the city so it may vary.

Go to a fuel station and fill it up, then look on the computer, I think second push is your range and that's your answer.

How good is the computer, I have seen some strange ones in my time.
My Audi was good though but never tried the RRS one.
There are fuel stations but they are comunity run and lot of them and are not always open.
Probably worrying about nothing Rolling Eyes

I average around 400 miles a tank taking it easy, cruising at around 70-80 on motorways no hard acceleration etc.

I will be lucky to do 50 most of the way.
If ye google map it you will see what I am talking about.
I am sure I will not get stuck if I do a bit of planning as to where I am going. Smile
Thanks for all the information though.

I can only pray I get good weather Thumbs Up

In my D3 (uprated interccoler, EGRs blanked, remapped), I reckon I could easily get 450 on a reasonable run, 500 on motorways. I should probably be able to get 550 on motorways taking it steady. Think I'd struggle to get less than 350 from any one tank living here. On winding roads, I'd probably expect around 400 (which is probably my average, but I've never really looked into it)?

A quick search shows that the nearest fuel station, approx 10 miles away at Scourie, has pay at the pump facilities open 24 hours a day. http://www.scouriefillingstation.uk/ Smile Visiting from DISCO3.CO.UK

I've been up to Ullapool on the bike (with a tank range of 150 miles) and it was fine. When touring in places like that I always fill up at the next station once the range gets to half way.

In my TDV6 I get about 380 - 400 miles of mixed driving, so you'll be fine

I fill up with nice cheap diesel (96p litre yesterday) in Muff, Donegal and drive to SE London on one tank. Its just over 500 miles and is a mixture of A-Roads, Duals and a bit of motorway (I go via Stranraer over to Scotch Corner down the A1/M11) at 75/80 on the m'ways & duals. Works out about 30mpg though the light is on orange 1/2 way down M11. Mind you that is only 2 legs, first to Belfast and second Stranraer to London without stopping. Have seen 35mpg keeping it under 70 and the car is standard TDV6

I will need to brush up on my search, I google mapped petrol pumps Scotland and it was a sad site Shocked
Did find the one in Scourie but not know it was 24 hour.
That will be the place to go.

Well all I need is some good weather now.

Thank you for the replies folks.

If it's any help, I did Ayr to Kyle of lochalsh and back at the weekend, round trip of 426 miles on one tank.
Best filling up in Inverness, if only to get cheaper diesel!

Thanks Dave, that is a good range on a tank full.

I will just have to hope that the dreaded midgies stay away Confused

I've done 360 miles so far on my current tank full, with the trip computer predicting a remaining range of 144 miles. That was mostly about half motorway, and half A road.

Amateurs! I was stuck in the usual M4 conga line. I think the fuel light went on just a shade under 500 miles and I filled up at 550 miles. The tank came to a few £ under £100. TDV8 btw.
