16v Petrol Record

[aaronc]

Just finished a petrol test (thank god), 15quids qorth of 95unleaded @ 77.9p per litre.

I managed 159miles before light flickered on (flat road).

Conditions - No more than *60/70 MPH, changing gear at or below 3500rpm - Car has done 114kmiles

*3 miles at 95/100mph (i was late).

can someone work out the mpg?

 

[Ol’ Tarby]

i got 37.58 mpg but im probably wrong

 

[aaronc]

anyone else know how to convert this?

37.58mpg thats pretty good if its right

 

[Adams_16v]

pretty good mate, mine drinks petrol like a good un, but only cos i cant resist booting it everywhere!

 

[rt172]

Yup, thats right. Under similar circumstances the 172 gets circa 41mpg. Given that your engine has so many miles on it, its most respectable.

 

[weight]

37.53mpg over here so yea spot on!

£30.10 at tesco before it went up, got 266 miles, errm, so whats that then?

mixed driving styles!

15 quid at 77.9p per litre is 19.255 litres = 4.28 gallons more or less

4.28 gallons = 159miles = 37.15 mpg

 

[myky16]

scotty 16v 33.10 is 38.64 litres at 77.9p = 8.59 gallons @266 = 30.98 mpg not as good

 

[cat171]

on average i get 26 mpg,

but i do thrash it a bit over 4k up to about 6.5 k never up to the limiter.

 

[scotty16v]

cheers myky16, fancy doing my company accounts!!

30 is not so great but i did have some fun along the way, and you cant put a price on that a?

I average about 36.349788825036 mpg..

I have a calculator on my website - you put in the how many litres and how many miles and it calculates it..

 

[McBunny]

i got 52.9MPG out of my 172 last night woo hoo hehe only had it for about 5 miles then got bored

 

[myky16]

my rover holds the record when i had it bout 90miles per galloon easily... all i do put a gallon in tank drive to wales break down get towed back LOL thats why the aa hate me now

 

[Embro2002]

nice plan myky16, do you get towed home for running out of petrol? would make AA more value for money. I try to drive economically but then the car whispers funny things like just a few more revs you know you love the noise.
