Never knew this MPG was possible

dCi 65 + C2 (<Sold)
Did you coast down Ben Nevis or something?
Stagecoach Ticket
providing you drive as eco as possiable you can get returns like that proberly not much more though i used to be able to get 47mpg from the 1.2 combined cycle and there shocking on fuel for what they are. nt really had the 172 long enough to get good mpg yet but i would be hoping for 40s if not more on a run
Use to return those figures in the 1.2 any day of the week. Getting those figures in a 1*2 is special.
Evo 5 RS
Nice one mate
Even with my itbs I get over 40mpg on a run.
how would you know you don't have a gen90? Oh wait......
Pmsl!!
tbf that is for a car that is (although not fixed system) 4wd, 220 odd bhp and a turbo!And I thought 33 was good back from the Lakes on Sunday

Big pinch of salt. As ive found with all my clios, the trip is usually off. 200 is the worst for it, under-reads by about 5mpg.
^ like the man said
pinch of salt if your readingit straight from the trip computer
to work it out you really need to do it the old school numbers and calculators way
its french it lies

Should be pretty accurate, you'd imagine. I'd trust it more than the gauge, that's for sure.
My dad has the same one. He's not overly impressed with 45-50mpg that he gets so he'll be pissed when I tell him this, though he gets that doing 80 on the motorway.
Maybe so, but I only put a tenner in!

I'd work it out properly, might even be more than the trip says! Mine hasn't budged from 28mpg, worked it out manually several times and I'm getting 33mpg average!

Did a quick calc, £10 over 120 miles @ £1.15 per litre is 62mpg. Mental.
Evo 5 RS

Yep, think about the throttle and it drops!!
Pmsl, that's honestly all it used. I was driving at a steady 50 all the way, but still expected it to be higher.
I think the 172's are excellent on fuel. Although, I found the trip would always over-read by about 2mpg.
The 182 is a little more accurate, but not consistently the same directional error. In that, it can over and under-read. The 172 always over-read.
The RS 1*2 Clio's are such a fab car. Good on fuel. Easy to use. Brilliant.

the trip on my old citroen was terrible, it said i did 65mpg over a week once, but i did the sums 690-miles from 57l of derv, but thats only 54 mpg.
my 2.0d gets about 42mpg. most ive got is 44mpg. sums are easy the tanks is almost exactly 10 gallons lol, take my week trip miles divide by 10. I dont have a trip computer on my car the guy who ordered it new wouldnt stump the £200 for it as an option but paid £650 for a tow bar, wtf? the problem is my fuel guage, well more the tank the clio and citroen the guage went down in a uniform, the c4 got 150 miles per quarter rougly, this i get 150 from the 1st 1/4, then no more than 115 from the next then 85 from the next then the fuel lights on then its only about 60 miles left lol, right till the needles clean off the guage. who'd idea was it to only put in a 50l tank, the petrols get 60+litre ones.
i miss my old 1.6 mk1 laguna, it dropped really quite quick to the 1/4 full mark then it stopped and started to go back up slightly every time i started it, by the end of the day i has another 1/8 of a tank than i started with lol. i'm sure that thing did about 300 miles to £20.

ITB BG 182
Cooky tells it like it is, i got 17mpg when my car was standard.
Discounted 1*2 parts
good job!! Most ive seen is 48mpg on a motorway run
PH1 172 Sport
I drive mine 100 miles each day and I'm averaging 40mpg which includes driving it very hard down some B roads to the motorway and then cruising at 80 on the M-Way. It's just about driving sensibly when there's not room to drive hard i.e in flowing traffic, going through town etc.
