Hammer it: 200 miles.
Drive Ms Daisy: 280 miles.
30/32 MPG open road, around 25mpg urban stop/start.
You have no fuel warning light, so when it reads empty you'll be lucky to go another 30/40 miles max.
A proper service including plugs, filter, thermostat is Ok (?)
If thermostat is failing open as they generally do, it'll keep the mill cold longer and use more fuel.
They come off ECU-enrich around a mile & half from cold if OK.
There are other things like cold start sensors, but don't go there yet.
Allow for oil consumption of around a litre per 800/1000 miles, so check regularily.
(Unless the mill is really high miles/smoking a bit...then 500-ish miles per litre.)
