[MadSi]

[R20 CWH]

40mpg is the norm here

 

[davebem]

Ive just drove to France and back and averaged 40mpg, I think its capable of better by being more light footed.

 

[Batman]

[syski]

[W3STY]

I average between 23 and 26 around town can get over 40 on a run.
I do like the sound of the IK though

 

[Middo]

[Matt 16v]

[MadSi]

[Matt 16v]

[len_beach]

I was getting between 35 and 37 mpg until the clocks went back. Since the ambient temp has dropped, I haven't been above 28mpg.

I can't complain though as she's been shifting like a rat up a drain pipe.

 

[fUbAr]

40mpg without trying...

can be as low as 20 when im pissed off, and has high as 47 when im travelling on work duties and they're paying me 35p a mile!

When i first fill up with petrol and reset the fuel computer it adjusts (mpg etc) really quickly with the slightest increase in throttle, after a day or so though you can be giving it some lead foot and it stills shows almost the same mpg as when you are driving like a granny.

Is this normal or is something wrong :S

 

[Rich]

27-30.

 

[scotty2hotty81]

24-26 around town around 37-39 on motorway
ik
de-cat
stainless system
ported inlet manifold/plenim
Group 'n' ecu idle 1200rpm

 

[Ads_172]

30/31 town, 35ish motorway, more if I stick at 70... which I obviously do.

That is because that is your average mpg mate, as you do more miles it takes more to sway your average.

 

[Justin]

31-34 for me

 

[Leeshez]

32-34 MPG. Why is it in the media section?

 

[JR]

27-30.

would be higher if the f**king thing was run in

 

[JR]

40mpg average, 45 on a run.

 

[Ali]

33-37 on motorway. Alot less in town.

 

[MadSi]

The guys getting 40+, how do you drive? What rpm are you changing at etc - would love to get more but seems impossible to keep in the 30 zone!

 

[John185k]

i average at 34.2.

 

[GarethM]

42 on motorways 37 normally

 

[fUbAr]

usually change gear around 4k in town, and cruise at 80ish mph in 5th on the motorway.

easy to get the thing to average high 30's for a whole tank with just town driving.

 

[S22 JGS]

28 if i drive what i class as normally.
if i feel racey then ill be more around 20-21

 

[Den]

I can't believe it!!
I have a Clio 1.2 16V with 17" alloys and my f/c at 38mpg!
Don't get much fun, and hurts my pocket...

 

[Englebert]

My 1.2 was never any good either...

Get 40mpg with a mixture of b-road blatting and granny motorway driving. Can get up to 45mpg no problems!

 

[philmots]

I'm doin my normal commute but not hammering it, just driving normal and sticking to 70 on the motoway part and im gettin 42mpg...

If im jus hammering it everywhere... 36.5mpg

Although did a motorway trip to newcastle at a more or less constant 85/90 and averaged 41.9! hell

 

[Jay-R]

I must be bad, if I average 30 im doing well...mostly 28 but I dont drive anywhere for a reason I just drive for fun

 

[redvitoxxx]

about 30 mpg, only driving in city

 

[Baz 172]

gettin around 34-36....motorway and a bt of city

 

[speedynz]

i average at 34.2.

34.2 what?

34.20?

34.25?

C'mon John, accuracy please!

 

[speedynz]

30+ around town?

40+ on a run?

Does anyone else think that these are really fine figures considering the performance of our cars and the manner that they beg to be driven?

 

[Ross M]

im usually about the 27 mark but do little motorway driving and when i do its short and so gunned somewhat.
main driving is down side n back roads or town.

 

[Day]

Anything above 30 and you shouldn't own the car sorry.

 

[cat171]

i average at 34.2

He has seen 45 though - Standard 172 ph 2.

 

[GazCB]
