P

 

[fizzy_drink]

MPG will definately get better after the first few thousand miles...

Im averaging 33 at the moment, which is superb (3.5k).

 

[a17tav]

Im well chuffed with 30mpg around town goes striaght up when i give it a good run. wasnt that happy with 26mpg just shocked its gone up that much !

 

[gabby83]

hey guys i just bought mine and got it on 1st march and i think the mpg is like 22!! i havent ragged it...yet... i might be wrong about that but thats what i think it says.

 

[Ben H]

I came all the way down the Rhondda valley today (downhill) and averaged 55mpg in my 172!

 

[a17tav]

22 well poor cant be right im in town traffic all the time and like i say was 26-28 now 30 my computer purhaps broken but who cares makes me fell better with it always reading 30 not 22 that would really upset me! 22 from a clio i wouldnt mind that on a v6 but that does more i belive

 

[gabby83]

I think i better check it out!! ive only done 200 miles on it now tho.

 

[Bryan]

Its our version of l/Km (litres per kilometer)...

MPG = Miles per gallon.

Kin ell, how hard did you drive it? I get around 36/37 in mine after 15,600.

 

[geordieclio]

[fizzy_drink]

Hi Sean,

Yup... MPG way way better, although Im driving way faster...

I really had to hold back with meggy, but with this I can let it rip.

How are you getting on with yours?

foot to the floor, and worryingly not one thing broke on the car that wasnt my fault (bonnet release cable and engine cover)

18k miles and no faults, surely not a renault?

 

[Funkyjahooner]

4400 miles and i get 34/35 mpg

 

[BRUCE182]

Mines two weeks old round town im getting 24-25 mpg the average speed has yet to go past 21 mph

 

[Paul_G]

10,000 miles and nothing less than 35mpg, thats on a liquid diet of nothing but Optimax!

Pretty fantastic mpg when you consider the performance.

 

[Liam]

10000miles computer never reset currently reads 35.4MPG.

OPTIMAX from birth

 

[SilverClio182]

5200 miles...currently around 26-28mpg

Was low 22-25 to start off from new... was almost in tears everytime i topped up knowing that it was thirsty with the needle barely going over 3000 revs (running in).

Seems to be getting better.... hopefully ill see +30s nearer 10k.

Optimax all the way !

 

[Big G]

Doing a steady 65 mph or so on the motorway, i averaged about 39 mpg.

At about 100 mph, it was about 20 mpg

 

[yubnub1]

a sad 22MPG displaying today!! - at 4.5k - hope it gets better with age!

 

[dk]

i dont think the trip computer is that accurate, the range of results it gives for different people is too wide, mine is never anything lower than 27 (except on track) or higher than 33 yet people on here get in the 40s! I do a range of driving and cant believe over 40 is possible in my car with the trip computer!

 

[Jim172CUP]

trouble is with the comp, it doesnt reset itself everytime you to turn it on.

mine will stay on 36mpg but when you reset it you get a proper reading of 30-33mpg

 

[Ian_182]

Ive done 130 miles now and im getting 35.2 and im on optimax

Is it me or are the indicator stalks on the 182 a bit softer when you click L or R than my old 172.

Maybe me,ian

 

[cupsportmad]

It sips petrol this thing and ive only done 450 miles so far. London to southend last night and it only used half a tank.

 

[182_blue]

it all depends on your journey, mine is a 8 mile journey but it takes an hour, so im sat around alot, hence about 30mpg, but i have had 45mpg on a journey upto the lakes

 

[leeds_182]

I get an average of 31 MPG in mine and only really trootle around town in it.

Im pretty happy with it considering my m8 gets about 22 MPG in his GTi 6.

 

[gazcaddy]

i find my computer on my 182 is very accurate

try this and see if it agress with your trip comp

[rory182]

I run 95 ron mostly and get 34mpg when ragging it and 37mpg when cruising

 

[bsimmer3000]

mine has droped since fitting induction kit but get about 22-26 mpg when thrashing it and anything from 40-48mpg when on a long run. but if i got a head wind that can drop to nothing higger than 32mpg. the wind make a bigger difference than i thought it would. same as most on here as well. only ever ran optimax.

ragging it to 3000rpm?

mostly town driving, with 5200 miles on the clock, optimax all the way, reset after every fillup and i always get 26-28mpg...

 

[coope182]

when driving like a typical rover driver I can get 45 out of the 182......however this is never done especially on the commute to work blast between Junction 2 and 1 of the M6 and its down to about 30

 

[Sidspud]

Im getting 24-26, but its only done 300 miles. Its still better than my old Audi. I only saw over 20mpg once! Most of the time I averaged 18mpg!

And Optimax aint cheap!

 

[Clewsy]

I go for 95 RON. I normally get 27-32mpg (I do a lot of town / city driving) but Ive had 35ish on a run.

 

[davep24]

im getting about 43mpg, however the trip computer on mine is a little bit out and it reads about 3 mpg over. I reset it yesterday whilst on the motorway and sat at 60mph i was getting 52mpg (really 49mpg)

not bad for a 2 litre

as for fuel - optimax all the way, seeing that renault recommend 98RON

I tried this on Monday, sat at 75 on M/way and reset it, it settled at about 34.

Where you going down hill at the time?

As for 43, how do you manage this?

 

[TheCake]

Ive got a thirsty cup. Ignore the on-dash computer its miles off. Do it by writing it down and doing the maths.

I get about 30mpg.

 

[Smokey]

i get an average of 26mpg, its my heavy right foot

got the 49mpg over about 25miles, just sat a 60 all the way. its all about taking it really easy on your right foot.

however my car is very well run in and has done a far few miles (48k in 2.5 years) and it has only ever seen optimax which i beleive makes a huge difference.
