Tino,
when you say 376 miles per tank is that until it is empty? Or is it until the red 2 bar low fuel warning comes on?. This means that there is 8 litres left in the tank. Remember the Dooper only has a 40 litre tank compared to the One D's 50 litres

So 376 / 32 litres = 11.75 miles per litre converted to gallons = 53.42 mpg

Incidentally the mpg does improve as you get used to driving it economically.

If the tank was 50 litres like the One D that would mean 53.42 * 50 = 600 miles range

I can easily get 58/60 mpg in my 07 Dooper (no stop-start - 520 miles per tank) but it is dependent on driving style.. My 12,000 mile average is I guess about 57.
