50.9mpg!!!!

[philbolton]

Yep managed to get 50.9mpg over a 52 mile run yesterday in the 172. Was all on A roads and dual carriageways and to be honest I was trying my best. Decelerating at the slightest of hazards really makes a difference and keeping it at just under 60mph most of the time. Not sure how accurate the readout actually is but I was very impressed.

Sounds boring ! lol

The most I've got cruising on the motorway at 60 ish was 47 MPG. I got 99 MPG once by coasting down hill after resetting the trip computer haha.

 

[Timmay]

boring!

ive had 44 once and sometimes 21 - lol!

 

[Clart]

why have a 182 and drive it like a granny?

 

[steven.m]

60mpg no bother

don't you know?....they are built for grannies. Perfect for pottering along to the post office and duck pond

 

[sgtbash999]

i've seen 38 once or twice but usually sits around the 30-31 ish mark for my everyday driving.

less when i'm giving her a pasting!!!

 

[philbolton]

Sorry i forgot to say, i was going to see a customer for work so it was either that or being in the office so i decided to drive slowly and reap the maximum benefit of being paid 40p a mile.

 

[Batgirl_RB182]

most ive had is 54.6 i can remember the day as i pulled my phone out to take a pic and the screen on my d900 was cracked

 

[Lee-182]

44 is my tops. normally round the 28 to 30 area.

 

[afishinacage]

I average 40mpg in my cup. I have had 45mpg on a 200mile round trip. And 42mpg on a trip down to london and back on the motorway sat @ 75 - 80mph.

 

[Dan@SJM]

My dad somehow managed 51mpg when we picked it up, but it clocked over 1 gallon used when we clocked 60 miles...

 

[twinny19862004]

Ive had it up to 49mpg and managed 375miles on a tank full. can any1 beat that. i have a mrk clio 172.

 

[d_182]

i was trying to work out costs of an ST over a Golf the other day and went a little bit anal:

£4.30 per gallon, 10,000 miles
25mpg = £1,720
27mpg = 1,591
30mpg = 1,431
32mpg = 1,341
33mpg = 1,303
34mpg = 1,264

really doesn't make much diff, does it?

 

[afishinacage]

£500 to drive faster, not bad... This is cheaper that modding the engine! LOL

 

[Brett]

i only get 35 mixed driving but 75% round town in my 1.2 16v costs me a fortune in petrol.

 

[kie1an]

i only get like 25 max !!! if that in my 1.2 16 v

 

[Brett]

you must be hammering it then mate, i try to drive economically around town and cane it on dual carraigeways etc, even when going fast on dual carraigeways and motorways my mpg always goes up.

 

[phill172]

must find the photo, gave it a bit of a spank on the way back from dieppe, was late for the shuttle, it started off on 11mpg on the instantanoues (yes i cant spell!) then sat around 15!

 

[Peperami]

why have a 182 and drive it like a granny?

Because were not all 12 years old all the time.

If you're a good driver (ie smooth) your mpg shouldnt be too bad anyways, plus you'll be quicker.

 

[Unbilo-Titled]

I get 15mpg at best in my WW2 land rover! dnt drive it much tho!

 

[Gregg]

i only get like 25 max !!! if that in my 1.2 16 v

Jesus, I've yet to go south of 30 in mine, getting around the same as I did for my 1.4. I've too managed 99.99 down a hill :approve:

 

[Dcds4]

you drive like a c**k then

 

[kie1an]

yer well it was the first week of owning a car !! the novelty ! 2 weeks on and now im getting bout 38 mpg better !!!

 

[Oggy997]

Sounds boring ! lol

Says Rich who never drives his car at all

 

[Day]

Should of bought a "normal" car.

You don't buy a Renault Sport Clio to do 50 mpg!

 

[Jonaldinho]

Your reading is wrong. You will run out of petrol in 100 metres time.

 

[kie1an]

ha ha

 

[.GAZ.]

Sure you don't, but its nice when it happens

With the current government being anti-car and anti-speeding, good fuel economy is all we have to look forward to when we go for a drive

 

[Shotgunsjay]

i went for a quick spin over rivi today, reset ma trip comp and i wa doin 16.8 mpg

 

[John D]

Well done Grandad

Pah! You're not trying hard enough :quiet:

 

[adammichael]

i get 45 average in a 1.2 n i floor it now n again at the lights

mite sounds stupid but ive been told having a sub can decrease the mpg because the sub is powering more off your battery?
