353miles to a tank

[Ali]

Well chuft with that! 1st long trip, both nice days, 65-70 the whole way!

ran on the red for 20miles then decided to fill up!

Still don't belive Justin got over 400!!!

 

[Christopher]

that's good going, what did your trip say, mpg wise?

best i've had is 34mpg.

 

[Daniel]

The most i used to get out of mine was 260-odd miles, to my aunties house and back in London.

I thought that was good, but then i was doing 80/90, so i suppose if i'd have done 65/70 i'd have squeezed a few more out of her.

this is the thing with RS clios, mine will do 350 down to london travelling at 70, probs is because i have a lowly 1.2 16v, my fifth gear is up to 3500revs so out of the most economical bracket!! if im doing 60 i get 45 but then again i dont really go anywhere lol

would be interested to drive an RS for the day, quietly, see what kinda MPG my trips could hit.

btw what fuels does everyone use? and if you use it do you find that the MPG is better for the higher octane fuels?

I get about 36-38mpg normally. Get 360-370 miles to a tank. If I go on a long journey or do loads of long trips I reckon I could get over 400 miles.

not bad for a heavy full fat clio

Indeed. You'd think they'd have made the Cups better on fuel, to help the cheapo's owning them!!

up where? :S

 

[Pep]

i dont normally get more than 300 in my clio, but to work and back is normally pretty slow traffic so that takes it down, although i have done 90miles since i reset the comp. and im doing 43 to the gallon :S

 

[Lagerlout]

I've had exactly 400 out of my 172, before I modded her. Usually average about 280.

 

[Clart]

if u get more than 400 miles to a tank regularly u are driving the wrong car

 

[darren_rallye]

Do the 1.2 and 2.0 have the same size tanks?

Maybe this Justin chap has a newer and well-serviced RS, and pumped up tyres?

Knowsit clart.

Mine was a long motorway haul, mostly off cam @ 75 ish.

 

[MT AUDIO]

ive just got 370 from my first tank which i dont think is too bad when ive beent testing the car a bit

 

[gixer01]

I'm a student so I only fill up a tenner at a time but the comp tells me I do about 38 usually when driving mainly sensibly but I've had it over 40. I think it's telling porkies though, 40 seems a tad optomistic to me...
I always use v-power by the way, dunno why, I feel bad otherwise

By the way, I've just recently got my clio and as a student I never have any petrol, but the dash light has never come on even when the needle is pretty much right at the bottom. Is mine broken or are they all like this?!

 

[john182rs]

ill soon know once again how much i can get to a tank as i have got a nice like trip to Poole, Dorset an leaving nottingham north near j28 at about 3am and i know its roughly 300 miles, so when i get there ill take a picture so you can see how much is on the clock and how much is left in the tank and i am in a FF 182.

Also anyone near poole, bournemouth or portsmouth want to make me welcome one night this weekend gimmie a call please otherwise i might just be bored shitless.

[Sami]

If you worry about mpg that much go buy a DCI lol

 

[Donz144]
