Fuel Economy - RenaultSport Clio RS200

[FA57 TAZ]

Hi Gents/Ladies,

I'm new to the forum and as yet don't own a Clio. I'm looking at getting one in the next few months. I currently do a 25 mile round trip to work that consits of roads going from 30mph to motorways. I currently have a Citroen C2 Code, which is a 1.6 125bhp and is pretty good on fuel I normally have just under half a tank left over at the end of the week. I know this question has probably been asked a lot and I will get the responses to say why have one if you're wanting to know about fuel economy. I'm not worried about it, just wondered what the fuel economy is like for others on their daily commute.

Many thanks,
Taz

From what I've read, buy a V8. It'll be cheaper.

In all seriousness I think they average 25-30mpg.

Yea but renault say it should do 40 plus
renault talk p1111sssh
my average on normal usage is 17 and on a motorway run at 60 it's about 34
my x5 does better and is same as what bmw said
ok the clio edc is fun but it expensive on juice and a lot of renaults claims are just not working out

Wait till you see the mpg the twingo rs should do according to renault!

50mpg extra urban!!

It does 31mpg permanently no matter how you drive it

 

[Paprika123]

Never saw more than 22mpg over the 4500miles I done in mines.

 

[kash]

Mine used to get between 28 and 30 mpg

 

[Martin_172]

mine was just a toy with a small daily commute flat out most days and I never saw more than 23mpg

uhhh that's just yours i think lol, martins done 43mpg average on a long motorway trip a few months ago. i can't even beat that on an eco drive in the GT !

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

My 182 does 41mpg on my daily commute

 

[Guvna!]

Get a 182 if you want decent economy. The 197 and 200's guzzle.

 

[gez 172]

Guzzle?

Mine averages 34mpg..

 

[Sir_Dave]

Guzzle?

Mine averages 34mpg..

Assume that's because only the bottom end of your engine works? Hence double the mpg of everyone else ...

 

[Munson]

Guzzle?

Mine averages 34mpg..

Behind a lorry at 55mph?

 

[Knuckles]

Renaultsport and rs in the same title is moot tbh.

But as said, i want a v8 next just so I won't notice a difference in fuel costs

 

[Chrisgti6]

Put it this way, i'm getting more to the gallon now with a turbochared 2.5 5 pot turbo lump with 100bhp and 150lb-ft more torque oh, and 50kg more weight than I ever did in my 197.

To be fair, 40 plus isn't complete rubbish.

I commute in mine and it is a 50 mile round trip (although I have stopped commuting now and catching the train as I don't want to rack up the miles on it) and I get 41mpg that's on A roads also.

In a mk3?!

It's not that liquid yellow one with the 1.2tce engine in it is it?

Well.............

I messed up haha my bad.

Missed the RS200 bit and jumped the gun

Was talking 172

 

[Willo40]

Does it make a massive difference if they are modded, i.e. my 182 has Piper Cross Cat back and induction kit, I am struggling to get 30, and I ain't been going mad all the time, it is urban tho not on a decent run....
