Round town it deffo drops, digital readout should 27 for me round town but big jump on longer runs.
Hoping, once run in I may be able to push it to 40mpg.

First tank was 24 MPG over 211 miles, I suspect the dealer fuelled up with regular petrol there though.
Second tank was 27 MPG over 150 miles on Tesco Momentum 99.
Currently on the third tank of Tesco 99 and saw above 32 MPG on my 160 miles trip around Suffolk yesterday.

Has it definitely got a fuel light? I ran mine down to 1 bar on gauge and range was showing 19 miles remaining and I didn't notice one, maybe just oblivious though! Filled up and car only took 40L till pump clicked so presumably 10ish litres left in tank. Seems like the range/readout is very conservative.
For the record my readout is showing just over 30mpg over approx. 900 miles.
Good to know cheers. I just wasn't trying hard enough! Last few cars fuel light has come on with 50+plus miles. Only thing that I don't like so far is the small tank.
My old diesel BMW the light used to come on anywhere between 50 and 70 miles.

I was at about 29 mpg after running in, and that dropped to about 21 on the 1st run without rev limiter. The GT86 never had a miles-to-empty readout, so that is a novelty but I was shocked to see it say 220 miles after a fill-up and assumed it was not calibrated properly.

Got 43.5mpg from a cold start over a 21mile trip today - driving economically but keeping up with traffic.
I think roughly 1 bar = 30ish miles so about a gallon. However, miles to empty figure is plucked from the sky I think. Full tank 190 miles

It uses the same software as the delivery allocations...
There's some talk on the GR86 forums about this, lots of people have already noticed that it seems to be pretty inaccurate: https://www.gr86.org/threads/full-tank-mileage.4961/I think roughly 1 bar = 30ish miles so about a gallon.

I shall take a read cause it’s doing my head in
along with the stupid crypton factor door locks that I cannot fathom what opens when.Picked car up today with a quarter of a tank of whatever the dealer put in. Brimmed it with momentum and dash said a range of around 220 miles.
Covered about 190 miles of combined motorway and a/b roads and range still says 100ish miles left.
Don’t think I’m going to be putting much faith in the range number going forward…

I'm back on Fuelly so adding the entries as I fill up. For me the mpg the car says to what Fuelly says is almost the same. I've not done many motorway journeys yet so last tank with just commuting and using some more revs I got 26.5mpg to a tank which was potentially 260 miles to a tank
My fuel light came on on the day of purchase after I drove only 30 miles or so - clearly the dealer had only put in around £10 of fuel.
I brimmed it with only 41 litres so which is 9 litres short of the 50 litre capacity.

Okay, to give a bit of an idea of my mpg on my Dorset to Northampton to Dorset journey today...
150 miles northbound, a354 a30 a343 a303 a34 m40 a43 at mainly 55mph on 60 limits and 65mph on 70 limits = 40.3mpg.
150 miles southbound, a43 b430 a34 a30 a354 at mainly 60mph on 60 limits and 70mph on 70 limits = 35.3mpg.
That's amazing. Now I haven't brimmed to brimmed it yet to check on the accuracy of the trip computer (I will), but how inaccurate can it be?
