197 mpg

[alanc1000]

the petrol tanks are bigger in the 197 (55l) compared to the 172 and 182, so it will last about as long as your regular driving in any 172 and 182 (it will just cost about £4 more to fill up thats all!)

My auris 2.2td is worse than my 172, 34 mpg average, currently 29mpg. 35mpg at an 80mph cruise. Basically it sucks hole.

Back to petrol for me as well.

Christ, that bad Hooli, would it better with a map??

why does the 197 use so much more fuel than the 172 then..?

guessing the extra power but surely if you aren't using that power being basically the same engine (I could be wrong here, only going by things I've seen on here) surely it should be near on identical at average/slow speeds?

I can push my 172 past 40 mpg @ 70-80 mph in 5th.. so surely, having a 6th gear, the 197 should be the same if not better?

I know it's heavier.. maybe that is why.. no idea

lol if your getting 20-25 mpg your driving with your handbrake on surely? Thats very very thirsty for a 2l in a small car. My bros 3 fiddy zee gets 20-24 around town and 26-28 on motorway.

I was getting 27mpg with a combination of driving. 20 miles per week

I roffl3 at these people who say you're driving with a heavy foot/handbreak on etc, it's a heavier car for starters, which is why it slurps more in comparison to a 172/182. But to be honest, maybe its petrol gauge and mpg counter are just a little more accurate that in its predecessors? Short journeys and sitting in traffic are its downfall imo, but it's still a cracking car.

..or a 1*2:their fuel economy is great, I regularly get over 40 on motorways which is more than my 1.4 did!

+1

Although i do like the 197.

Take on track & reset the trips etc.

9mpg is achievable

Hope so, just hassling the company to either let me map it or sort it out. tbh Id happily give it back now but I cant
