Happy new year everyone.
A question for comparison, what sort of milage do you get out of a full tank in your Delorean and how much (£££) does it take to fill your tank?

It's a 50 litre tank but thanks to the awful baffle, you'd be lucky to get more than 40 litres in at any fill-up.
I made it from Newcastle to Stevenage on one tank once. I probably had about 20 or so miles left before the hiccups were about to begin.

Normally about 200 from brim-full to idiot-light-on...
But I think mine's relatively heavy on it; others have reported better. Being an Auto doesn't help I suppose.

...first time i drove from edinburgh to rugby in lex, i was only 25mins away when i had to stop to fill up again. i guess that was about 290 miles. ish. that was mostly m6 motorway mileage with only the 1 stop before the refuellig stop.

Our Right hander is a very thirsty machine and we only get about 20 mpg's. Not ideal with the present fuel costs Fortunaely our annual mileage is low!!
By the way, Happy New Year to all
