182 MPG

[JoeShaw]

Hi all,

want to keep it simple, a full tank is around £45

how many miles do you all get in your 182s from a full tank on average

thanks

my last one was 226, at the minute ive got an 8th of a tank left and ive done around 185 miles. this is running on total excellium. usually i run on v-power. going to try tesco 99ron for my next tank. just get a comparison between some.

usally between 350/400 miles a tank. Sometimes closer to 300 when I'm more enthusiastic!

 

[matt_182]

30-40MPG seems to be the norm on these cars.

30-40MPG seems to be the norm on these cars.

thats a pretty big range


if i drive conservatively (i.e. on motorway, then its about 35-40 depending on mph.... otherwise its normally about 32mpg

Ive been averaging 30-36 with an occasional blat Highest i got was 46 on a nice run, currently from a tankful (well two notches short) ive done 240miles and have 50 left according to the computer, so i should make 290

I'm gettin 24mpg atm. about 190 - 200 miles per tank, and thats v power. don't know if i have a problem or not, but that seems poor. I used to get about 34mpg. :S

Spent £95 on a trip today on v-power, car seems to only get 24mpg. Did do approx 550miles and the car was running very nicely.

Dont know if anyone else has had a problem with induction kits but fitted the itg and now have a warning light on the dash, car seems to be running very rich.

30-40MPG seems to be the norm on these cars.

Mines about 30-35 mpg driving like a loon....

 

[karlos100]

mine is always at around 36. did a long run few week back and got 43 with the cruise on.

 

[Rich]

28-32mpg

 

[Gary-Lew]

I average 32-34 , but it averaged just over 40 mpg from swansea to Cumbria

 

[mattjk]

Does anyone think that the AV has any effect on MPG??

I average around 30 generally.

 

[philwhittaker]

36 - 38 mpg running only on BP Ultimate. No matter what I do, really very hard to get below 36.

am using V Power too and am getting around 295miles

 

[matt_182]

hmmm im more than confident now that somethings wrong with my car, i got trounced by a 172 last week too, the fuel thing just tops it off

 

[H182]

280-320 depending on driving style

Something being obstruted maybe.. My first guess would be air filter.

I love to see what some peoples idea of hard driving is.
If i tharsh through a tank in mine i get about 210 miles to a tank which works out about 26mpg going really really steady about 280 if im really lucky.

 

[matt_182]

im on standard airbox, but some nob head took the cold air feeds off before i bought the car. suppose my first job should be to route some CAF's up to the box really see if that changes anything?

well a service would probably be the best option i guess

 

[marksman]

between 34 - 37mpg consistently

 

[*Clare*]

32-34 in the week... Weekends if I am driving longer distance then anything upto 38

 

[Hutchie]
