[rctempire]

Just wondering what MPG is getting with all this cold weather.

Topped up last night, drove around 50-60 miles, and looked at the MPG.

77.3MPG was my average at -12.

Surely the colder it is the worse the mpg? Colder denser air = more fuel?

47.8 being stuck in traffic is killing it in the micra the mx 5 hasnt moved in a month

 

[SC03OTT]

Currently averaging 39 in the cold. Usually sits about 46.

 

[Riley!]

absolutely rubbish as the cold weather means leaving car running for a bit to melt thick ice etc

 

[Magic Johnson]

My car doesn't warm up at all if I leave it. Got to scrape and drive straight away to get any sort of warm air.

My car's MPG'o'meter doesn't work anymore, but I've worked it out anyway.
I zero'd my trip computer when I filled up before Christmas and I'd done 225 miles by the time I filled up again on Monday. I put 39.3 litres of Tesco 99 in it, so that works out at about 26mpg. Not bad at all really. I probably get fewer MPG when the weather is decent because I can put my foot down, whereas in the snow I can't.

 

[Dink]

not moved my car in the snow as it is pretty much undrivable in this weather

but it would probably be around the 17mpg mark lol

 

[Fletcher]

God knows, I've not driven it since Sunday.

 

[iimushroomzii]

35

 

[Joeh]

as said, cold weatherusualy makes diesels much worse, petrels also suffer but not as much.

 

[Ian_182]

I havent noticed any real difference tbh

 

[Waitey]

Saxo is giving 37mpg
TVR is giving 14mpg

 

[Ian_182]

14 mpg is shocking..lol

 

[young_lew]

When I looked this morning it said 22.7 mpg and -4

 

[Saner]

[Clart]

TVRs are intimidating at the best of times I'd imagine, what's it like on snow/ice (if you have any where you are)?

I'm getting around 28ish in mine, though it hardly gets driven at the moment.

 

[DrR]

Not got a clue, i fill it up and drive TBH

 

[Geddes]

i've been getting 12mpg just round the doors, normally it's about 34mpg

 

[Curtis!]

No idea, but the car did something silly like 34 miles to a quarter of a tank, so 140 ish miles to a tank is not good! :dapprove:

Restart the car sometimes though and it's only used an 8th of a tank, 272, is still not great.

Hasn't moved since tuesday morning anyways.

Its not that bad. You just have to remember you have no t/c or abs and most people around you can't drive...

The saxo has had 2 flat tyres for the last 2 weeks so i've used the TVR through the worst of our snow (we currently have 6inch here) and its been fine. The front does act like a snow plough a bit though and it run roughly due to not having a cold start function.

 

[Waitey]

14 mpg is shocking..lol

Thats mainly town work and battling through the snow. Normally it'll give 17ish. 20 on a very long run.

 

[R20 CWH]

30 though aload of sitting around and defrosting!

 

[StevenMc29]

57ish. Usually a bit more than this tbh

 

[markhinton]

When I got home yesterday the mpg trip was telling me 45.8mpg.

 

[markkram]

Technically 0mpg as i've only turned it over and not driven it since xmas eve.
Getting a fraction under 40mpg from the S-Max at -4

 

[Scottie B]

43 before winter

38 yesterday

 

[The Big Yin]

54 @ -8

 

[jayxx83]

what does minus 10 feel like? Coldest I have seen is -1.5 on my thermometer. They were saying -6 for London but not felt it. Mpg is around 28-30. Usually 31-32 mpg.

This.

 

[lbrench]

mines the best

after 20 miles this morning

from my clio 200

 

[Jaff]

i'm not doing too bad, over 300 miles i'm averaging 46.5 mpg, but that a mix of bearly passible streets, getting stuck twice aday in the only place i can put my car at work, motorway, slushy slidy crap and running the engine while defrosting.

my mpg has improved since my new tyres, previous to this i was only getting 41, but i thik that was because i was spinning up so much.
