182 Cup-Excellent MPG!!!

[The Seer]

I owned a 406 HDi estate as my daily driver/workhorse before buying the 182 Cup last week.

When driving her easily I'm on 42-45 mpg. The economy of this car for the performance it offers is fantastic.

I wouldn't say it drops to any less than 23 mpg when driving hard and changing gear alot. Very happy!!!

one of the biggest perks of the clio especially when commuting

Indeed. My Clio see's anything between 350 and 700 miles per week I'm only putting £10.00 every other day. Not that different from my 406 HDi. Only difference is that the HDi engine will run onto 250K. I won't be keeping the Clio when she reaches 85K. Only on 16.5K so far, so many miles left yet!

isnt the cam designed a bit like VVT ? gets to 4k and then revs like a b**ch but if you wanna drive sensibly you can.

Nope the 4k kick is nothing with VVT engine goes to a closed loop and the cam gets more efficnet due to the way it all is but its not desinged to be a chnage over point for economy vs power etc.

VVt is on at 1.6 off at 6.5k so long as the oils to temp and under the right pressure settings.
