Hi Tom - I was only giving a comparative (or relative) mpg figure for my 306 - it is difficult to give an accurate absolute figure when using different filling stations etc.
Also we have the sunroof (tilt) half open or full open most of the time which may be a little draggy.
The fuel tank is quoted as 60 litres (13.33333 gal) I think - which at 50mpg would give a range of 666 miles (LOL)
I always fill to the brim so the car may hold more than 60 litres taking into account the filler neck/pipe etc.
I would not expect to comfortably do more than 600 miles on a tankful before I refill (don't like taking the gauge too low) so I think 48 mpg is a safe claim to make.
I used to have a ZX 1.9 turbo which I also used to claim 48mpg for.
