Hi that sounds really bad to me even with a petrol you should get more than that i have a tdi diesel and i put 20 pound in and get 140 from that,i used to have a n reg 2 litre galaxy and would get 100 miles from 20 pound, i would look into it further

£90 isn't really a figure you can use with MPG calculations... how many litres do you get for that? You can then convert that to gallons and work the MPG from that. Based on a cost of £1.44 for your petrol then an estimate would be:

 

£90 Div £1.44 = 64.2 Liters multiplied by 0.22 makes 14.15 Gallons.

260Miles Div 14.15 = 18.41 MPG

 

Its not exactly good, but then it depends massively on your driving style, weight (load) and the roads you are driving on. The official MPG is quoted as 28 but that's a combined figure

A bit on the thirsty side I'd say. My 2.8 will do 270 miles on a full tank towing a caravan.
