When I filled up the car took 53.21L, so there was a couple of litres of fuel left in there! 35.64mpg...

Right, back to driving it properly!

Hero. Thanks for proving the fact that sensible MPG is possible from the 200. My problem is during the daily commute its all too tempting when frustrated with someone going overly slowly, or hogging a lane etc to just give it the beans. As such my average is around 28mpg

I just managed to drive 82 miles from just over 1 bar to the petrol light coming on........

I brought a clio for the fun that comes with it, also find myself amazed at the fuel economy.

That said, i would be bored as f**k doing 400miles to a tank - should have brought a diesel imo.

Do you use your car for commuting? I do, it's boring as f**k whatever speed you go.

If I'm honest, trying to get the MPG to go 0.1 higher brightens up my commute!

Always got Dave Pearce and Deadmau5 sitting in the autochanger if I ever need to get some pace going anyway

 

[harvey1982]

Yeah unfortunately, do take some random back country roads tho. Maybe thats why i dont study the mpg

Deadmau5 he does brighten up any journey, went to see him in leeds a couple of years back. Awesome imo.

When I bought the car and filled it, the trip computer said 270 miles and 20 MPG.
I didn't reset it... still don't know how to reset it tbh hehe - but I drove home at 50-60mph for 220 miles.
By the time I got it home it was saying 290 miles range at 38.4mpg and the gauge was at around 60%

I don't think I was driving it right

It'll drop a lot faster now I'm driving to work round town but I think I could have easily got 400+ out of the tank if the journey was long enough at 50mph.
I wouldn't have survived 8 hours in the car on one journey but it's theoretical.

I'm chuffed if I get 400 miles out of my 1.4, shows how much town driving I do. I don't even rag it. lol

Last time I filled up I got 270 miles before the warning light came on.

 

[DanielJames]

YESSS!!!! f**king smashed it

Could easily do better I recon, did someone say 450 mile challenge?

I put 45L back in to the car, so if the tank is really 50L I should've had 5L left. Which should easy give me 450 @ 42mpg.

I'll have a go

 

[phoenix1]

did manage 51 mpg driving like me nan's nan constant 56mph but was sooo boring

 

[Bramley]

Ive done 400+ miles once in my 172
