Most economical rev range

[lusty v-tec]

Whats the most economical rev range on a clio - more specifically the 1.2 16v (2004). Is it around 2000-3000??

Depends on to many things on the whole best keep it near the maximum torque value.

Than again difficult to drive the car with a steady foot and round the mapping.

25 mpg isn't a good economicl car.

Relatively speaking, I think if you can get 25mpg booting it everywhere its pretty good.

Depends how many miles you do I'm adveraging about 30k a years so 25 mpg isn't good. Then again I'm cheap.

I absolutely rag the tits off my 182 and the worst I get is around 27MPG. I'd say 2-3k is good for returning a high MPG.

use 5th gear in normal town driving , i'm returning 32/33mpg around the town

TBH i get about the same fuel economy on the 1.2 16v as ido on my valver on the work run as in the 1.2 I boot it whereas in the valver its usually below 3000 revs most of the time.

70mph in my old 1.2 was giving me 48mpg on a cold day... bout 55mph gave me 54 or so

 

[Wilkeh]

i'd say the most eco friendly amount of revs would be 5500-6500 depending onj the direction of the wind

 

[portal172]

0-1 rpm

[Alan]

Motorway crusing the optimum speed is just under 60MPH. I tend to go 70MPH as that is 3500rpm and it uses much less fuel than at 80mph (4000rpm and reving its tits off).
