MPG the same in 1.2 !!

[Justin182]

Been driving around in a 1.2 campus for most the week and cant believe that im getting the same average mpg as my 182.... which is about 31 mpg.

Im not ragging the courtesy car about any more then my 182 either (im ashamed to say lol)

Whats the dealio with this !!

Sounds weird..... I was getting 41.5mpg out of my 182 this afternoon @ 70mph on the motorway chuffed with that

Gotta say i'm getting about the same with my 182 as i used to get with my 1.2 years ago too. But that car got some stick lol

i used the lass ka for work the other week and it cost the same in fuel as my cup.
The rs clios are amazing

 

[clio__chris]

31 mpg lol

if i got that it would mean i would be driving like a bit of a c**k tbh

anything over 45 mpg is reasonable imo

 

[markclio2007]

the ka you were probs raping it tho lol

Are these figures taken from the computer or from working it out manually by calculating it from miles covered by a fuel tank?

Also, how does the computer calculate MPG? Is it just tell you what the car is doing at that moment? Or if you continue at those revs? Or does it average it over the whole tank??

Regards,

Taken from the computer. Their pretty accurate on my 182.

When you hit the reset button, it takes a few hundred meters to pick up a reading. When it does its basically what your doing then and there, but after time it starts to get the average since its been reset. If you see what i mean. I was wondering why the fuel was going down so quike, checked the mpg and it said 31.5 !! Bit low for a 1.2 lol. Its soooooo slow.

my 1.2 i get between 39 and 45 depending on how and where im drving it.

stop start stop start around town or what ever its on about 38.

is that the newer 1.2 engine???

 

[LegoHead]

I'm getting 56mpg now, but thats because its broke.

 

[Craig]

ive been getting 30mpg

you must be ragging it to get 31 on average... i can get 45 in my 1.2 16v driving generally... when pushing it 35ish

31mpg I'd say normal ghard driving and about what I get in them.

under 25 is hard driving.

I only get around 27mpg in my 1.2.

I think its just because you are used to going a certain speed but to get the 1.2 to go at that speed you have to give it some beans.

 

[ant_wales]

27 you must be at like 4000rpm constantly or very heavy footed.
