That's craazzzyyy. I've had 300 miles to half a tank before in my 1.3cdti and it's only a 50L IRRC! I have a motorbike that I can rev to ~11000rpm and get the equivilant enjoyment and better performance of a car that probably costs £30k+ more so I really could never justify the massive cost of petrol in a car anymore
