35mpg on a run @ 60mph, 15mpg if thrashing it and about 25/27 combined

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197

Getting the later model has a longer box which helps keeping the mpg up, sure I read that off here a while back :/ can anyone confirm this...

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197

Yeah by a couple of mpg.

My 2006 used to average around 28, the current Cup I have 2008 does 30 +. Same use etc.

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197

so the later models ie. 08,09 plates have slightly better MPG due to more economical parts? .... so i should look towards the later ones?

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197

late 2007 the final drive ratios in 5th and 6th were increased (only by a few 100 rpm). The box itself is no better, just helps the mpg slightly

Gear ratios 5th and 6th have been raised from 16.1mph/1000rpm to 17.1 in 5th and from 18.9mph/1000rpm to 20.5 in 6th

so i should be looking at the late 2007 models? or the 08's too?

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197

sorry, late 2007 onwards it was standard fit to all 197's

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197

IMO the difference in MPG would be too neglegable to look at the newer models purely based on MPG / fuel costs, unless they fall within your budget anyway! Or else its going to take an infinite amount of time to recoup the additional outlay.

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197

At the moment i'm getting about 32mpg, which is a mixture of dual carriageway, town and country lane driving.

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197

I average 30+ in mine. Mixed driving town and NSL roads. Motorways I can see 35+ if I'm just setting it on cruise control and letting it go.
This is on a 56 plate (reg January 07)
A lot of it comes down to how and where you are driving it.

this is similar to what id be doing and the motorway journey to work which is 5 mins on motorway and 5 mins on dual carriageway which is 40. Would i achieve low 30's from this journey i make twice a day 4 times a week?

Depends on how heavy your foot is...

Drive like a granny - Poor
Drive like you're Ken Block - Sh*t

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197

Sorry to hijacked thread but would you think a 197 gets better mpg than r26 and if so by how much?

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197

After the midlands meet and a enthustiastic drive with everyone afterwards my 172 got 32mpg, not sure if you wanted to know this but thought it might be useful as a comparison

Re: MPG from your cliosport 197

Checked today, I have got an avg of 30.4 mpg over the last 8,000 miles. I dont flaw it everywhere but i dont drive slow either. mainly town and city driving with occasional motorway use.

My 197 cup is poor on fuel. Then again i drive with a heavy right foot. Do i care? Not at all, i have never owned such a great car in all my life. Even the mrs likes it and she normally couldn't give a monkeys about cars. Its a fight in our house as to who takes the Clio. 25MPG is very poor but the fun factor you get when driving it sure makes up for it.

Thats a nice average MPG figure dave, i would be more than happy to have that as i do similar driving to you and i am same, dont flaw it but dont hang about either.

Sounds like a competition to get the 197 i totally agree with you, smiles per gallon not miles per gallon. But still a average high 20's is good enough for me
