How many km on half a Polo tank?

How many km on half a Polo tank?

I'm driving a 2009 polo classic - 1.6 trendline. How many kilometres can I do on half a tank?

Our answer:

Hi Vava,

That depends on a lot of factors: how is the car driven, and where? How well maintained is the engine? Etc. Also, that's an 11-year-old car and it's unlikely to return anything like its official fuel economy figure. Assuming you mean the petrol model, we'd estimate a very rough average of 35mpg (8.0 litres/100km). The fuel tank holds 45 litres, so, with that logic, the car should do nearly 160km on a half tank. It's likely to do better than that if driven gently.
