365 ish miles...

[xtreme_boi]

Ok,

I am currently getting around 365 miles per FULL tank of fuel. Is this about right for a 16v 1.2 Engine?

I only ask, because when I fill the tank, and reset the trip computer - I get different readings. For example, it says I have got about 450+ miles til I need to fill up again. But am only getting about 365+ miles. Also, I guess it depends on how you drive the car, etc...

Sounds similar to what i get. like u say depends how u drive, sometimes I only get 320 once I had 400ish

If you fill up and set off say on a motorway journey you`ll get better mpg so the comp will work it out using that mpg.....once you`ve stopped at lights or hammered it a bit the mpg will drop and so will the estimation (assuming it`s the same as the 172`s comp)

I am a bit heavy on the Accelerator at times...

365 miles sounds pretty decent to me, must be about the 40mpg mark

My Trophy averages 26-28mpg (according to computer) and I get about 240 miles per tank. I don't let it get fully empty. Computer normally tells me i'll get more than 300 miles to a tank! And i do occassionally have the odd spirited drive!

Your mileage to tank sounds about right!

I'm really impressed with my 182's mpg. I tend to drive the car like it was intended but can still get between 270-300 to a tank. And alot of that is in town too.

usually in my 182 i get between 325-350 on a full tank, I dont use the car to commute so alot of the time Im on A & B roads which obviously helps

:O

I filled up last night, reset the counter thing, which now says 96. something and I'm on the 3rd dot of the petrol gauge And mines only an RT!!!!

im currently getting around 270-300 from a full tank but im in traffic alot coming too and from work.

pompymatt- sounds as if you have a problem or you have a really heavy foot!!!

 

[pompeymatt]

Would could the problem be? And I do tend to have a heavy foot...
