Clio 200 MPG

[Dan_j1]

Hi all,

Im buying a Clio 200 in May and after watching a few videos of the akrapovic exhaust system I'm dead set on getting one! What sort of impact will this have on my fuel economy? I expect to see 25mpg on average with a standard 200 but how about with the exhaust? (I know there is more temptation to boot it so I would drive it a bit harder).

The reason I ask is that sometimes I do 200+ miles for work and would like to remain at 25mpg+ on the motorway. This has led me on to ask the question could I slip the akra exhaust off and put my standard system back on when needed? Is anyone doing this at the moment?

Cheers guys.

Dan.

I wouldnt imagine you will notice that much difference. Although, new exhaust= Right foot goes down more,= less economy.

 

[NFox]

I cant see you will notice any difference especially on the motorway.

 

[Dan_j1]

I was thinking the same but wanted to get views from others' Is there anyone who has this exhaust system?

Cheers,

I have this zorst on our 200 and its superb. No direct impact on mpg figures at all.

 

[N0ddie]

Our average mpg is 31 FYI

 

[Dan_j1]

Ooooo that sounds good to me! Is it the full evolution system? (think that's what it's called?)

 

[N0ddie]

It is indeed. Just shot a wee vid today so once edited and uploaded al stick the link in here for ya!

I hope i start seeing figures closer to this once my engine loosens up!!

 

[Dan_j1]

Yes please mate! If I can closer to 30mpg I'll be a very happy chappy

And here I was expecting a thread about some new frankenstein Clio with a tiny turbodiesel and electric power stretching out 200mpg

 

[Dan_j1]

Ha! Sorry to disappoint, if i come across one tho you will be the first to know!

I got avg around 28 without trying to drive economically so I think you will be well within your expected 25.

 

[Martin200]

I dont average any where near that with the ktec on mine, i get more like 23, 24.

+1 around 28ish in mine with the ktec on

 

[Dan_j1]

After reading these posts my mind is made up! New exhaust it is.... ;D

 

[SnapMonkey]

27mpg. Saw 31, once.

 

[Alastair.]

Me and my bro did 32.7mpg over 220miles a couple of months back in a 200.

 

[N0ddie]

People kept getting in my way lol.

 

[Harpham]

On my old 200, I was getting 31mpg. 33 if I was very careful and lucky. 28ish if I either ragged it around or used normal unleaded.

 

[Dan_j1]

Loving that exhaust n0ddie! Looking through your vids you do quite a few track days, how much do they set you back? I can't say I've ever had a car I'd like to get on track but I definitely would the Clio!

30 mpg+ !!! I'm glad I started this thread now...

Knockhill is very unlike the way proper english trackdays are run. There are no full day events. Its a lot of 2 hour or 4 hour events which are £50 and £100 respectively.

Proper ones are usually bout £200 for the full day but all organisers differ in what they offer.

Biggest bill for an all day event might be fuel. I emptied the 200 in and hour and a half at Knockhill. 8.9 MPG

 

[Dan_j1]

8.9mpg! Niiiiiice

 

[Dan-rs200]

I've got a Milltek cat back with cat removed and had a remap to suite and I am always getting at least 30 mpg and that with frequent little blasts, best I have ever had was 42 mpg but that was motorway run

 

[Adey01]

cant get more than 24 mpg out of my 200 (ff 200 with cup chassis)

 

[Sargara]

27.3 for me average over the past couple of thousand miles according to the trip computer.

As much as id love an Akro, for the same price you can get cams and a remap.... its a hard decision

What are you doing with it?

I'm averaging 29mpg but even hooning I've averaged 25mpg

 

[Rhino172]

seems to be some varied responses in here but I tend to take the mpg readings with a pinch of salt...without wanting to start a new thread as MPG threads are all over the shop (so sorry for the hi-jack)

how much it costs to fill up the tank?
approx milage a week?
and how often you have to fill it up?

In the 172 for me a full tank would last about 16-17 days, then to fill up it would cost about £60

Dunno Iain
hopefully computer maybe slightly out but ive noticed one or two other owners average the same as me!!
still to take her on a long run so maybe the figures will improve

 

[MarkCup]

Mine must be a freak then judging by the above.

Currently 175 miles into a full tank.
Trip computer says 38.4 mpg (which I know will be over 40 mpg as the trip is very pessimistic).

When trying hard the lowest I see is 29 mpg.
