it depends on when you fill up as well fuel is denser when its cooler

 

[C.slicker]

Don't worry about it.

I get 30 mpg at most on a run.

It doens't the fuels stores underground the effort needed to affect the fuel density just ins't there.

you lot who get low reading must drive like complete t***s!!

im getting about 52ish at the minute, but im driving to get more mpg at the minute, normally get about 46mpg easy, and thats 10ish mile journeys some stop and start.

how you manage to average below 30 on a run is beyond me, ive had my car in single figures nailing it from 0-80ish, but thats just instant then it climbs back up, do you drive everywhere in 1st sam?!

 

[C.slicker]

Love you long time Joe xxxxxx



No I just give it some. I do quite a few miles on back roads and I just can't help keeping it about 4000 rpm.

I also find there is nothing in 5th so try and avoid that at all costs.

[Pep]

as long as its not past a school, or im not behind you near top end, whoops!

 

[C.slicker]

PMSL.

how :S

 

[DaveJwxm]

trip comp says 42mpg

 

[Mogzieno1]

Thats really low! Checked last week , get 482 miles to a tank

 

[Martin_172]

i got 260 from my 1.2, get 280 from my 172

 

[daydotz]

but the trip has a problem with the turth :rasp:

 

[Laura]

my tyres were slightly low and my mpg droped down to 24mpg and got 160 miles out of a full tank of vpower.

pumped them up and everything went back to normal. they wernt even that low

 

[bmh.01]

As i've gone from 1.2 -> 1.6 -> 2.0 i've found it much easily to get good mpg without trying as the engine size increased, guess its due to it being less stressed normally ploding about. Currently getting 37.6mpg from the 172 around town so i'm pretty chuffed, and managed 260 miles (and counting) from £30 of v-power. So i'm .

Used to get 30mpg from the 1.2 and was lucky to get anything about 320 miles from a tank and I didn't thrash it that much either! Could never work it out.

 

[Wilkeh]

yep, ur car is buggered mate, u need to buy a 172 quick

 

[Josh220]

that sounds awful for a 1.2

i agree with bmh.01, since i got a 2.0 car i've found it easier to get better fuel economy when just driven normally, doesn't need to be worked as hard

 

[Leeshez]

I get about 330 - 350 out of my 182. A lot of short runs etc.
