182 vs Megane 225

[yellowbelly]

My Mrs currently has a 182 Cup and tends to spend approx £50 a week commuting, my question is what sort of amount would you expect her fuel bill to increase should she change to a Meg?

i know it's fairly vague details i've given so no maths can really be applied but i'm just after a rough idea

Impossible to say!! What sort of journey (motorway etc), how many miles? Does she have a heavy right foot?
With the details you've given, you're basically asking how long a piece of string is!!

another £15 - £20

Why does she want to change?

my R26 sits on 23.5 mpg with combined roads if that helps

she really wants a Megane plus she's had her 182 for over 2 years now.

This makes me feel much better about getting 23 in my 350z!

the meg is definitly worse on fuel than my old 182. Both on motorway and B roads

Its bound to be worse...

Heavier car

If you're that worried about MPG and costs get the Renaultsport Megane dCi 175, probably just as quick in the real world.

I used too get 32Mpg in a 225 Cup With a Rs Tuning Leeds remap

My Meg wasn't too bad! Put it this way after selling the Williams then purchasing the 225 nothing made me think jesus these megs drink! No way like my FRS does that's a guzzler lol. Tbh it isn't a big difference at all I would go or it great cars and still fun like a Clio
