i do mostly short journeys and get between 26 and 30 mpg but if i do a long trip (car show etc) i have seen 36mpg once.
All i can say is if people are averaging 35ish mpg they are driving like old farts or lots of motorway driving

Now thats rather amusing :lolup:
As far as i can tell, i drive it normally when im driving anywhere built up and then when the road permits i give it beans, but i wouldn't say i drive like a fart at all.....just ask my girlfriend!
She has a 182 and she doesn't drive as fast as i do when im going full tilt but shes alot nippier in and around town and her MPG suffers for it.
I drove hers recently after a fill up and with a mix of fast driving on the right roads and calm driving everywhere else i managed to get 40mpg+ out of it...she rarely betters 35!
Drive like an idiot 24/7 then expect your fuel consumption to suffer.....simple really.
reset the mpg clock now got 31.9 mpg wohooooo
it was just me being a n*b head
cheers to evryone that helped me
Kully i bet you only get 5mpg in yours, i've seen how you drive! lol
I think people should say what brand and octane rating fuel they use when quoting MPG figures. I have found that it makes a big difference!
40 mpg just isn't possible IMO if you're giving even 25%.Now thats rather amusing :lolup:

Agree!
Obviously people on here just nail it everywhere in 3rd gear at 7krpm! lol
You can drive a clio quick without having to rag it!
Long time no see Jim.Hi Len. Couple of months ago, a Sunday it was. Emptied the tank and stuck a measured gallon back in [another one in the boot] Drove in the best frugal manner I knew how, into 5th and kept it there at 40 mph.
Got 41.1 miles before she coughed to a halt. Beat that in a 197. LOL
yeh normally get about 24 in town driving, and about 30, 31 day to day driving had it up to about 46 on motorway once
how accurate is the mpg gauge ive always wondered
