The last four days phil, thanks for noticing

But on a serious note... is it possible to do that mileage on half a tank or is it broke?

BS a 12v does that.

I could belive a 1.6 does that at a sensible speed.

the most I've ever got out of my 1.2 8v was 400 miles to a tank. I don't doubt I could get some serious mileage out of the XE on a long enough run, but definatley not the sport

Beat ya, I've managed 425, did about 424, with the last about 23 on the petrol light, couldn't be bothered going to the petrol station, so I went home, then hoped I could get to the petrol station the next day and I managed it

no doubt it could be done, all depends on where you drove, how you drove etc... I can only get about 70 miles to £10 atm

I don't believe my guage, I can get out one day and it'll be on half a tank, next day it's on 3/4s

I just reset the trip meter when I fill up, and go off that and the petrol light
