i get 45mpg in my 1.2 urban driving
i have just done an 800 mile round trip to neqwquay and lands end, i have got a roof box on my 182 for the journey and i was getting 35mpg at 75 - 85 mph
Not too shabby atall that mate with a roofbox... wot sorta weight/passengers?
Yeah i get bout 26mpg round town driving like a girl, get bout 34mpg on the motorways25.9mpg from my 197!!!
Mine usually sits around the high 30's to low 40's. Its not difficult to drive hard some of the time and still get a decent MPG....just takes brains when driving normally!
Avoid late braking, and do a lot of coasting (thats taking your foot off the accelerator when not needing power...not knocking it out of gear!)
i cant see how you get these figures on a 2.0 1.6 i drive like miss daisy seriously 320miles is the best my 1.2 can do the trip thinks 500+ miles till i need a refill it also reseting your trip(spose thats why its called a trip you keep reseting it for trips) will give you low figures its working it out over a short run if you leave it i aways beleved it gave you a more acturate figure i normal reset my trip at the pump when ive filled up its normaly stays steady 38mpg is lowest ive seen mine fall even a trip down the mways doesnt improve my fuel consumption much i take no notice now i will reset my trip for my run into work tomrrow an see again ive done 277miles ive got 177miles till i need fuel acording to the trip (yer right ) with 3lights left on my gauge it claims im doing 41mpg
when i fill my car up i can get 35ltrs in meaning my 50ltr tank has 15left
so hw many gallons in a ltr
ive also been told when looking at the
quoted fuel comsumption figures your aways take the lowest which will be what you get in the real world based on this my cars exceeding that figure
:banghead: end rant

Your 1.6 must be fooked! I get 380 out of my Cup almost every tank. I tend not to drive like an a$$hole (most of time) and my daily drive is fairly economical. It's all about smooth driving, keeping momentum and relaxing. Bob Marley at volume 14 also helps!
On a short or steady trip these figures are possible.Everyday driving and over all people will probably get into the mid 30's
If they tell you anything else there telling fibs
No actually engine braking is a side effect of coasting whilst the car is in gear....in other words, coming completely off the throttle when gravity is helping the car carry momentum.
In this context (i.e ways to bump up MPG) coming completly off the throttle whilst the car is still in gear is also deemed as coasting.
Do other people get 40mpg from their 172cup or is mine broke?lol!
I dont do mway miles so maybe this is why?? got 39mpg on a round trip to alton towers recently from cumbria tho,using 1 tank of optimax.... Not bad at all i dont think considering stuck to about 80ish mph....

sorry not having that..looks like we'll have to agree to disagree...
102 Coasting.
This term describes a vehicle travelling in neutral or with the clutch pressed
down.
Behave the pair of you, go stand outside and willy wave
As far as I am aware coasting is:
3. Leaving the car in gear but removing foot off accelerator and letting the car roll
But I am a woman so what do I know???????????
