Mileage

[MikeDX]

Can anybody beat this? (I could probably beat it)

67.7MPG, 776 miles left in the tank. That was after I filled up earlier today and drove 30 miles up the motorway.

Obviously my car aint a powerhouse..

ooooo, how you finding the mk3 clio?

Ive seen some around and really like them, however there only 1.4's

 

[MikeDX]

I'm really liking it. There's a lot of things I like about it - it's absolutely rock solid especially compared to my old hyundai accent!

 

[RSi Dave]

the hyundai accident, shocking.

 

[Tez.]

sorry i cant beat that the best ive had id 57.7mpg

 

[MikeDX]

Ugh.. you can tell I posted this whilst half asleep. its 64.7 not 67.7!!!

Also yeah.. hyundai. great car dont get me wrong but feels so cheap compared to my new mk3. Also the hyundai was only 2.5 star ENC whereas clio is 5 star!

I read on the renault website that the 1.5DCI should get 70mpg if you really drive like grandpa, so here's hoping 800 miles on a tank of fuel though, thats awesome

Ive been checking my mpg the last month. Been driving really really slowly, with no hard acceleration in my mk2 172 and am getting 300 miles / 40 liters. Funny thing is the trip computer tells me ive averaged 37mpg but by working it out going by the liters put in by the distance driven its close to 28mpg. which means its costing me 8p a mile.

I got to get me a dci, they do 3 times the distance for the same money.

 

[edde]

I've seen over 80mpg. I think it was something like 82.5mpg.

 

[Bluebeard]

Our clio dci 86 demonstrator gets absolutely hammered all day every day, and it still returns 48mpg! its bloody brilliant really!!

Your making me jealous.
