You should count yourself lucky it's 'only' 75 litres. My R Class has an 85 litre tank & is an eye watering £100+ to fill  :'(  :y

that's assuming you actually run out of fuel before you fill up. I filled up on the low fuel light yesterday ......... it was a mere £98   ;)

So the fuel tank on a mondeo 2.0 tdci must be a fair bit smaller to have a similar range.

Most I've managed to put in in one go is 72 litres  :-X

Translates to about 360 miles of mixed (mostly town) driving :-\

I've (rarely) seen 500 miles from my 3.0l auto...  ...and never in the UK.

Put £50 in yesterday before the light came on and it showed two thirds full. I suspect it was only enough to get the inside of the tank wet in reality!  ;D ;D ;D ;D
