1.2 16v owners

[Tez.]

just wondering how many miles you get out of 20 quid?

@79.9 per liter

 

[bobbobadobob]

79.9??? i've never found a station less than 85 since i've had my beast!!!

i'd probably get somewhere like 200 - 250 depending on my mood/weather/gf in passenger seat or not...

 

[Tez.]

cheers bob that sounds about right im hoping for about 200 miles outa this 20 quid

 

[Has]

^^^ sounds about right dude.

Just watch that right foot

 

[Martin_172]

hmm i dont think i get anywhere near 200miles to £20 quid, never really tested it though.

could an induction kit make much of a difference? because thats the only engine mod ive got.

 

[Has]

nah it wont make a great deal of difference.

The 1.2 16v just seems to be very sensetive with the old right foot.


My driving style really changes when trying to conserve petrol.

Infact i drive in a more calm manner! hehe

 

[KyleB]

i find i can do about a mile for 10p.

Thats in my 1.2 8v. Im guessing there aint too much difference.

 

[Martin_172]

nah it wont make a great deal of difference.

that could be why, constantly getting thrashed to hear the induction kit

 

[Has]

^^^^

heheh, i remember doing that.

I used to see my fuel leave out the exhaust.....

 

[Martin_172]

LOL ^ mine does that!

 

[Andy.1.2-16v]

Not really sure TBH, urban I get on average 25 to 30 MPG due to my lead right foot, on the motorway if I keep it around 70 mph I get around 45 to the gallon, it has improved slightly since I put my K&N panel filter in though....

 

[steven.m]

how can fitting a high flow air filter make your fuel consumption better, shergy? I havent really worked out my mpg, but i can get 400 miles out a tank which is around 35 bucks if i drive carefully. I recently fitted a motoflow magnet and it hasnt improved it at all. Induction kit increased my fuel consumption a wee bit, only really bad oon motorway journeys i found.

 

[S Garbett]

I got 389 out of 40 quid lol

thats the best ive done and i drove like a granny for a few days

normaly i get 330ish when giving it sum lol

 

[x2ncy]

i was gettin 28.7 mpg out of mine, ive got a pipercross induction kit with a k-tec relocation pipe and a custom cat back system. £10 would only just last a day. get about 34-35 now tho.

 

[Soko87]

I hardly do any motorway drivin but my mpgs around the 36 mark, Dependin on how im drivin i can get bout 225miles for £20

 

[Tez.]

cheers for the replys

Maybe it doesn't, TBH mate I never really paid any attention to my MPG until I fitted it, so my fuel consumption could be worse, all I know is a full tank still last me about the same as it did before I fitted the filter...:approve:

45MGP + on mine. with no engine modifcations. Not a particularly economic driver either. One fill up costs me ~£30 and lasts for about 3 weeks these days.

 

[James_Extreme]

36-38mpg if driven hard 42-45 with general driving
200 miles is half a tank which is about £19 for me at 87.9

 

[clio_zak]

42-45!! i get 34-36 general, and around 31-33 driven hard!

 

[daviebroon]

mg gf's extreme 1.15 16v gets about 55mpg average..... 400miles p/tank. have seen it at 99mpg while resetting trip down a big hill lol

 

[Claire]

I'm pretty sure thats almost impossible
All extremes are technically 1149cc - though we all say 1.2 16v - as thats what its classed as by renault
Was it on here someone asked what the max driving mpg you could get out of Clios? It was about 50mpg tops

 

[daviebroon]

ok then... i shall take a pic of the trip. I don't bullshit

 

[Claire]

ok then... i shall take a pic of the trip. I don't bullsh*t

I'm not doubting what you've seen. just sounds a little innacurate thats all

 

[wozzaa]

if you put your foot on the clutch going down a hill it'll jump straight up.

Do it in my C4 most i have managed so far is 705mpg.

But i used to find £20 in my 1.2 didnt last that long and you could fill it for £10 more and it seemed to last quite a bit longer seemed the top 1/2 of the guage took ages to come down then the last 1/2 dissapeared in a few miles on mine.

 

[daviebroon]

yeah i find this in my cup lol... prolly just imagining it though.

Don't all mk2 clios switch to 'lean-burn' once the fuel gets down to a certain level?

 

[Claire]

Yeh, of course I dont doubt the trip computer downhill with clutch down. Its the 55mpg thing that confuses me

 

[t0m]

First of all wheres the bloody petrol station that sells it for 79.9. Tesco's and the local garages are competing at the moment but the lowest here is 90.9, no word of a lie.

I get around 36mpg although I do give it some. Just on my way to work (most of miles for work) theres a lot of 50 traps and Camera zones so eventually it settles down and levels out quite nicely. I can go a week on £20 which is probably 250-260 miles?

 

[Fred@BTM]

36mpg out of mine, but then it is fucked!

 

[daviebroon]

Yeh, of course I dont doubt the trip computer downhill with clutch down. Its the 55mpg thing that confuses me

actually keeping the car in gear with foot off of accel is more economical. dipping the cluch still uses petrol to allow tick over. makes a big difference for what its worth

 

[clioworx]

I can average between 28 - 31 mpg and all I have is an induction kit.

If I try really hard I can get it even further..........roll on getting a 182.!!!!!!!!

 

[Alan]

Where the fvck do you get petrol for 79.9p a litre?

 

[Nas]

I filled up my tank on my way from manchester by the time i got home romford it was pretty much empty, but wasnt really driven economically, only took me 2hrs 45mins.

 

[wozzaa]

local here is 92p for optimax and thats all i use on the C4 now runs better on it. and i dont get 26mpg went up to 30mpg.

89 i think for normal.

the 1.2 cruises quite nicely above 100 to be honest quite surprising. most i ever had on dial was around 117 but gps said 106. that was down a big hill and building up speed for a while. was tailing an M3 who for some reason actually moved out of the way for me. i was expecting him to put his foot down in fact i was hoping he would i wanted to see what it could do at the time miserable sod let me past was dissapointed.

 

[HILLY]

I use to get 70 miles for £10 !

 

[Martin_172]

trip computer gets confused easy in some cars my mates calibra turbo said we were getting 99.9mpg at 160mph with the clutch dipped :clown:

 

[Leeshez]

I get 33-34 MPG and i do little motorway miles

 

[daviebroon]

you would be.... work it out

 

[fillip]

My 1.2 sxi (same power output as clio) was always 10p a mile whether ragged or driven normally if i put a 10er in i new i wud get a 100miles :approve:
