45.5 mpg today

[JBarber]

Drove from Bracknell to nr Dover this afternoon, not ragging it and a few contra flows, but a steady 70 mph most of the way. Trip computer is showing 45.5 mpg - pretty astounding for a performance hot hatch and a good 4 mpg better then I've ever had before.

that is good going mate on way to york to dover down the a1 with one stop i was getting 38 mpg and doing around 80 mph

 

[Rob's172]

that a good mpg, but i'm sure u'll have more fun gettin it down to the 36mpg that the book says

 

[tillu11]

good effort, wish i could get them figures drove back from Gatwick doing about 90 and managed 32 which i thought was brilliant.haha

 

[Ian_182]

If it says 45 then you can probably nock at least 6mpg of that in real terms,but good going none the less.

Nice one

I saw 44 last weekend on the motorway which I thought was okay

Still didn't beat my best of 46 though

 

[d_tyler]

The best ive had was 38.9mpg and that was driving on the motorway from newcastle to leeds, quiet roads with cruise control set at 70mph all the way. I was well chuffed. No idea how you guys gets over 40

 

[FlameR]

I've had 90 MPG, but I had just reset the trip computer and I was costing downhill lol. I can get 45mpg on the motorway doing 70 though

 

[JBarber]

What's weird is that I've never beaten 42 mpg before (and that was driving ultra careful). I did fill up at a BP garage but it was only regular unleaded + aircon was on most of the way.

If you want MPG buy a diesel!

 

[Timmay]

I know what you're saying, but it's one of the things I like about the 182. It's fun to thrash but when you have to do work travel you can still get good mpg (+ there's no point thrashing it round the M25 with its variable speed limits and the roadworks with average speed checks, all that achieves is points on your license)

45 :O ahhh im lucky if i get 25

 

[DuncCup]

i have never got more than 29mpg on my 172ff and 27mpg on my cup

but i do drive it hard and get very bored sitting at the same speed, or course different if its wet or am in really bad traffic

 

[ollie]

good effort mate, lol. I'm happy if i can get high teens

 

[Ibanezman]

Impressive

I personally never look at mine, don't give a sh!t, just enjoy driving it

 

[Robbs29]

After the first week of ownership of my 182 i had done just over a thousand miles and averaged 24.6mpg, its currently at 33.8mpg as of this morning and i have done over 2000 now!

 

[lewisniven]

ive had 99.9, lol, but yeah, thats coasting down a hill.

averaged 50.5 once on a 20 mile journey, that was cool.

 

[Andyman]

I still get the same MPG now its modded as when it was standard!

My average is 38 miles to the gallon with ragging it down to 32/34 and taking it steady 40 to 45+

 

[lanky]

Has anyone's mpg been affected by breathing mods or exhaust? I don't want to fit these and find a negative result.

 

[Tony Hunter]

I just about manage 26

 

[matt182]

I have got 49.9 on a run that was driving slow
