I got 400 miles out of a tank full, on my 2.5 102bhp lwb syncro.
Mostly towing , and short journeys .
That's 400 on the clock running 215/70/16 ,BFG AT .
Any guess what actual milage that would be .
Also it will still hit 80 mph mark fairly handy even with the tires. Totally standard except for the cat out.

Same tire size and AT pattern too
Average of 870 km out of a tank full in 30.000km

No towing I:

for anyone interested, i think i solved it.

original tires circumference; 1969mm

new tires circumference ; 2209mm

thats a difference of ; 240mm or 10.9% greater rolling distance.

so roughly 444 miles

444 miles for 74 liters = 27.28 mpg
714km per 74 liters

not great

i'm running 205/70/15 on a lwb and get around 7.2 miles/litre which works out at around 34mpg (if that helps with the comparison?)
