[DrR]

[mickstoke]

just wondering with me looking for a 172!

 

[VeinAST]

Shouldnt worry about MPG if you're buying a 172 tbh... I can't wait to see how much more my funds are drained because of the v-power

 

[gaz44]

Should see 30's in that situation.

 

[mickstoke]

cheers lads

30-33mpg out of my phase 1 on a cross town commute of 12 miles each way.

 

[ilovewilly]

Only had the cup a week but really suprised how good it is on fuel!

My GTi-6 has a 60 litre tank so costs more to fill up, and only get around 25mpg in that. Had 45 the other day driving like a granny and 30 when giving it some size 12s. Give it a year and it should pay for its self

 

[mickstoke]

should be good on fuel compaired to the xsara vts i had!

 

[JON13S]

wouldn't be able to tell you what i was getting.... the gauge lied more than pinnochio

 

[markhinton]

Hahaha awesome!

Person getting 23mpg from a 1.2, oh dear! Something a miss with that, even if you gave it absolute havoc everywhere you drive you should be looking way north of 25mpg! It's not exactly a high performance car!

 

[benmore]

did a long run down to ktec today...

round trip - 280 miles

cost: £30

almost 100 miles to £10!!!

this is proven also by light was on, stuck £30 v power in, went there, came back, as I pulled on the drive, light turned on. PERFECT way to judge it. so I really am getting high mpg... I was travelling at around 70 on the way down and 85-90 baked beans on the way back so.. not exactly a proper petrol save either

btw much respect to ktec loving the recessed exhaust

 

[micallef1990]

i get around 28 mpg in my 1.6 but seems i only get around 140 miles to 20 pounds of petrol

 

[karlktm]

i do 2.5 mile trips to work and back,so the car hardly gets warm...and it does 33mpg

 

[Mells]

35 mpg

 

[shiyan]

35-40ish

 

[Jonff]

i do about 23mpg in a 1.6 i couldent afford to own a cup all my money would go on petrol.. :O

23 MPG from a 1.6? f**king hell do you drive on the rev limiter all day long? lol :rasp:

I'm currently getting 32/33 MPG from a mixture of town/motorway driving.

 

[saltyhair81]

I indicate around 27mpg but mine is pretty much stop start for 14 miles a day. Don't get above 30mph.

On a run at 60-70 I will be doing 40mpg.

With a mix of driving, 30-34mpg

150miles = £22ish quid of v power around town with an odd drive on a weekend.

 

[iggy172cup]

35mpg

 

[benmore]

oddly, for example, as above, yesterday, I achieve 3/4 of a tank for ktec and back, indicated 280 miles, roughly £10 = 100 miles.

today I do work and back, blackwall tunnel solid, there and back, 80 mile round trip, so theoretically, give or take, I should have used £10 max possibly less, right?

sitting in traffic, my car has used nearly half a tank today

I grant you this 80 miles over all probably took me 4.5 - 5 hours between morning and on the way home but still, it is using TWICE as much petrol to idle and stop start in (today) particularly bad traffic thru london

epic fail.

is ya left leg stronger than the right with all that stop starting?:rasp:

 

[Tigger]

23mpg has been the worst I've seen in my 172

I get anything from 34.5 - 41mpg

 

[Martin_172]

i took a week off work for some time off and put £160 of vpower in my 172 going for random blasts.

hence why i have a dci... lol

 

[Tigger]

dci mpg = FTW! :hail:

 

[Speedlover]

Currently on 36.7 mpg and thats a short motorway run and stop/start at rush hour.

My 1.4 mk1 was doing more fuel per week than my 172!

Thts good in my book!

 

[Greeny.]

35mpg, this dropped from around 37-40 when I added my forced cold air feed into my airbox.

 

[172head]

MPG......again well i got 40mpg on my trip down to K-Tec 106 miles.
