46.2 MPG

[Leeshez]

I have just had this out of my clio. I have just done a 300 mile round trip and i thought it was great, normaly i get 32-34 Mpg

 

[fUbAr]

yeah, i got this on the way to FCS this year from my 172...

it soon went down round the track tho

 

[Pete]

never had above 34.5 in mine.

 

[dk]

never had over 35 in mine even after driving it like a nun.

I dont think the trip computers are as accurate as people believe.

Oh and I doubt you got 46.2 on average, maybe resetting it while rolling slightly downhill on the motorway. I presume thats what you mean though

 

[Leeshez]

Well i reset the clocks then did 140ish miles then it said 46.2Mph at a steady 70Mph but coming home i was between 70-95 ish in places now it says 40.6MPh

 

[MOZZalba]

mine hovers around 35-37 all the time. I rarely get a run in it tho.

 

[ukaskew]

I have no trouble getting 40mpg (trip computer and confirmed with petrol usage) if I need to out of my Cup. Dont exactly have to take it easy, I did a weekend around South Wales covering 450 miles at an average speed of 54mph and managed 37mpg.

Cruising between 70 and 90(ish) on the Motorway sees a good 40mpg without any trouble.

I get around 34mpg from my 182, with 38 on a granny run. I had a clio diesel on loan from the dealer for a couple of days, that did 92mpg according to the computer - the 182 is a bit quicker, though....

 

[m4rk]

im lucky if i get 15mpg!!!

 

[edde]

The trip is very accurate according to my calculation you just need to give it ages to settle down.

I checked the amount of fuel I stuck in VS the amont the trip sad Id burned over 20k and it was accurate to 0.5%. It works off the ecu injection so it should be spot on accuracy wise.

 

[hodstar]

average is aroung the 28 mark

 

[daviebroon]

I have never ever had any more than 27.7mpg avg out of my 172cup

 

[Alex_225]

On average it tends to vary between 28mpg when I end up stuck in traffic to 34mpg when I get a clear run. (To work that is)

I have managed 42mpg but I dont think I went above about 2500rpm lol.

On the motorway I tend to get 38mpg.

No serious i was stopped with a full tank of fuel and it said that.

 

[Clart]

how the f**k is 46mpg possible? Mines normally 28-34!

 

[172_4_life]

I used to be able to get 41.6 out of mine at about 60-70 on motorway...

I have now left the trip to run over 200gallons of fuel and its settled at about 29.7 - but thats mainly town and non-shopping runs

 

[Ally]

Cruising at 75-80mph on CC in my 172 (2-up, loads of luggage) gave me 45.8mpg on a trip from Stirling to Manchester and back.

Usually get 35mpg average though.

 

[Scott]

i got 40mpg on the way to pod in my valver. i was quite pleased with that

 

[norfolkminis]

I normally get around the 38 - 40mpg. Lowest has been 35mpg.

(have seen it read 50mpg, but I had just filled up and got stuck in a traffic jam )

 

[Clart]

would a blowing exhaust affect mpg? sometimes when im stuck in traffic i can watch mine get lower and lower.

 

[Steve2004]

Ive had 52 mpg from a 70 mile journey before. Driving like my grandmother. Got 45 mpg the other week from a 220 miles journey with the air con on all the time. Again, driving a bit like grandma

Leeshez - carry on with a decent MPG return and were unlikely to meet you at the Shell garage on the other side of Blackburn...

Hurry up man and put your foot down! Looking to get a refill either on Monday or Tuesday......

Mine does that sat on the drive on tickover, think its pretty normal.

 

[Penfold1977]

If youre not moving anywhere the MPG is going to drop as you are using petrol to idle and not doing any miles with the petrol you are using.

Never got more then 41mpg out of my 182, averages about 33-35...

 

[badinvincible]

Ive had 50MPG in my 172 on the way back from Crail once.

My exhaust is blowing and I cannot get above 28.9mpg, no matter how easy I drive, a blowing exhaust must affect MPG, as the exhaust system isnt going to be very efficient if its got holes in it. Being a renault exhaust I think they build them at the factory with holes in, Im about to get onto my 3rd exhaust in less than a year.

Or, as Jeremy Clarkson said on the review of the 182 on Top Gear that they made the boot out of tracing paper, they probably make the friggin exhausts out of tracing paper.

 

[cliovicky]

Mine averages around 30mpg never usually goes alot above that and i dont drive that fast usually

 

[Pumpkin]

My average is 27.7mpg on a reserved week when i am trying to save money
