petrol, petrol, petrol!!!

My 182 cup seems to average 23 mpg most of the time whether I'm ring road driving, commuting to work, or on country roads. The only time is goes above that is on the motorway which is a lot better. From a full tank of v-power (109.9p in Bristol atm) my range on the car shows 279 miles, but I never let it get empty.

How can yours be so low too... do you drive very hard? Is that after a recent reset?

 

[TELFORDS_LURK]

22.9MPG in my 197 R27

I had 21.0 when i looked this morning !!

 

[DrifteR197]

At the moment i'm averaging 35.5mpg on my daily commute (10 miles each way, busy B-roads, lots of stopping and starting in traffic)... whereas with my old Vectra 2.0 SRI it was just under 31mpg. I'm very impressed with the Clio!

apparently the prices of petrol will be around £1.50 with in the next couple of months :dapprove: , stupid government, any one else heard this rumor???

It's hardly going to rise 40% in two months!

i know i dont believe it will either, but you never know, on the radio today they were going on about how petrol has gone up again and thats not just petrol every thing in general has gone up in price

Give it time and it will be like the really old days when only well off people could afford cars , we will have gone full circle from not being able to afford them years ago to everybody having them back to not being able to afford them !

 

[fizzy_drink]

I used to run my 182 at 13p per mile (when fuel was below £1). £40 would get me 300 miles if I drove sensibly.

Now I get 250 sensible miles from £40 in my C2 (despite the MPG being better). Grr.

 

[ant_wales]

172 Cup, averaging about 36/37 mpg...

 

[gaz44]

Cup getting approx 380 miles per tank

 

[*Badger*]

172 FF, computer says its 35.1mpg (all short journeys)
But when i work it out at the pump from the reciept im getting between 32-33mpg on average

 

[dandycaptain]

I got a record at the weekend - a full notch less than half a tank got me 150 miles with the computer showing dead on 45mpg. That was from the centre of Stoke to the outskirts of Carlisle, about 155 miles on the tripmeter, with one stop at a motorway services 60 miles in. Oh, and I should probably mention that I had the cruise on at 60mph! It equates to 155 miles for about £17.50. Absolute result!

 

[Richdog]

Cruise has changed the way I commute... I use it 70% of the time now!

 

[dandycaptain]

Yup, I'd seriously miss CC if I swapped for a car without it.

People in work were sayin that if this increase in petrol, gas, electric carrys on, britain will be classed as in a state of fuel poverty!!!!! :S

Well i wouldnt go that far lets face it you drive a high performance 2.0 16v car. If you swapped for a dci 80 for instance you would be seeing 55mpg and saving £170 a year on tax and got knows how much on insurance. Thats the way the government wants us to go and they are getting there way with tax on fuel.

My point is fun cars will be a thing of the past soon, before i am even old/rich enough to afford one.

 

[john.med]

£102.9 per litre = £13.34 every 100 miles at an average of 35mpg,.. I don't drive slowly, far from it. I do a mixture of motorway and other roads, and rarely use anythng other than 95 ron.

Some people must be driving round in 3rd gear all day.

 

[stinkee]

about 34mpg in the clio.. borrowed my brothers fabia Vrs yesterday flicked thru the trip computer when i got in it 28MPG!!!!!!!! and who said diesels were economcal... lmao

 

[nth]

dont clios have gd mpg though? for their power?

 

[Scaggeh]

Get between 31 and 32mpg usually. Drove to heathrow to pick up my mate the other day and filled up at a BP motorway service station.. 119.9p for ultimate! needless to say I didnt fill the tank

 

[HartZ]

Usually my 172 hangs around 30MPG and if i put £10 in i would get about 70 miles if that!

 

[Goders172]

£45 -£50 gets me roughly 225 miles on average in the 172

 

[sh33n]

Unaerodynamic body kitted Clio = worse mpg

Slapper!

LOL.
