** 121mpg from a dCi **

[black kro]

filled up yesterday and re-set trip

drove 5 miles on a busy but free flowing A road @ max 50 in top

mpg was stuck on 99.9mpg

average was 46mph

but miles to go read 1340

I know it it shows 770 to go @ 70mpg (and Ive managed 798), so assuming 11 gallons must have been doing

121mpg!

My dad got that once on his Megane dci. It didnt stay that way long!

swap you for the day wiv £10 of fuel each

I might make 50 fun miles in the Vee, youd get 200 easy!

I got 80mpg from a dci80 but that was over a wider range of roads and traffic conditions and a lot more miles. Was hard work and required a lot concentration so in the end I slacked off and it settled at 70mpg.

Getting 38mpg from the 182 driving as I did to get 70mpg from the dci. I could get over 40mpg if I tried I am sure.

I got 41mpg out of my 172 on a run down to south wales. Very heavily loaded with trackday wheels etc too.

After getting realy bored I tried to max out 30mph in 5th on a long bit of road I got over 100mpg but exactly how much I didnt know my guess is 120~130 but that wasnt good for the car (wasnt my car).

I get bored driving and getting 80mpg end up going back to my 55~60mpg everywhere ways.

Id like to see if I could get better mpg with an 80dci I was originally going to get the 80 as it was the same price as my 65dci due to the extras I had added on.

Do you think your bigger tyres do anything to affect the MPG?

I never saw above 55 when I had an 80, although a lot of mine was commuting at slow speeds. Ive noticed my mpg goes up in the valver when I take it for a long drive, and plummets on the commute.
