Most Economical 172??

[richy22]

988 Miles to a tank

90.2 MPG

Though im disappointed renault underestimate fuel consumption... The MPG tops out at 99.9MPG

Just before this had 99.9MPG with 1260 miles to a tank... IF ONLY!!!!

[willynwilson]

how'd u manage that???

filling at a petrol station, reset the trip at the top of the hill then roll the car down in netural im guessing?!

 

[Timmay]

how come your screens blue!?

 

[Aluco]

I wat to change all my interior from orange to blue cba though too much effort and i wouldn't dare do the souldering.

 

[C.J]

lol, how'd you manage that?

 

[jayxx83]

roll down a hill in neutral probably. touch the throttle and it will go around the low 40's at best.

 

[172Ben]

Rolling down a hill in neutral would use more fuel than rolling down in a high gear.

 

[richy22]

how come your screens blue!?

I changed them Tim thats why! ~White is next on the cards to see what that is like.

Reset trip computer through a 40 zone just before a hill... 5th gear doing the speed Indicated barely touching the throttle.

Not Nutral as Im pretty sure the ECU calculates by what gear/revs your doing??! I dunno.

 

[Timmay]

blue looks cool

 

[DannyR]

How'd you change it?! Pics? Prices?

yeah but the amount of distance your travelling is the main factor. granted that putting the car in gear with no throttle input doesnt actually use any fuel on most modern engines.

You want high MPG figures buy a vag diesel, end of story.

 

[Simon_172]

white might look nice, xenon white ftw

 

[vdust182]

When in neutral the ecu puts fuel in to stop the car from stalling.

Erm...

And the Aircon/Radio part...

Aircon LCD is actually Red though it looks Orange. Going to change them to all White soon. Should look good in the dark...

Reference Prices.. Led's to do the lot about £10... Then I did the soldering myself. Your a local boy I could do yours one weekend if you wanted??

that looks the nuts. I'd love to do this in my monaco blue one

it would look even more nuts if you could red the needles and the redline on the rev counter.

spose this is a very difficult if not virtually impossible task?

Yes.. Unfortunately the clio only has one one set of colored bulbs. You could get blue/red with a bit of work i imagine. I really want some spare clocks to try it out on actually so keep you eyes out!!

That blue looks great

 

[R20 CWH]

dink did a guide for it when he swapped it on his now dead 1.6 16v

 

[Tobs]

blue looks cool mate pm a guide,

you should make the needle light red or orange?
