Should I or shouldn't I?

[Ian S]

Hello everyone, I'm new here and was just after a bit of advice.. I'm thinking about buying a 53 plate Renaultsport Clio, but am slightly concerned about the mpg....I have to drive a 90 mile round trip to work each day (mainly motorways) and was just wondering what mpg other people get from their Clio's on motorways, and also, if its going to be practical in any way for this sort of driving. Cheers.

Buy one. you won't regret

I have a '53 reg 172, get over 40mpg easily on the motorway. Buy one, great fun!

 

[skindemon]

yup, you'll happily see 40mpg on a motorway.

I do a fair amount of driving, which includes various weeks of 100+miles each day, which I've completed with no fuss - the motor is more than suitable for such work. AND, it when you're not on a boring motorway, it's great

 

[ADY 554D]

did about 400 miles on the motorways last weekend and got around 40-44mpg on v power

 

[Big Iain]

from Skegness to Glasgow via Newcastle I got a reading of 39mpg sitting mostly at 80 on the motorway

 

[wilja]

even when I drive quite quickly on the motorway I still get 40mpg - dont get overtaken much! Buy one, great all round car. Comfortably seats 4 people and still pretty quick then. Cheap to run and loadsa fun!

 

[charlieogden]

I get 37 on short trips in and around town you have to buy one, just saw off my friend's 4motion golf did lower the MPG though !!!

 

[klmillard]

I mostly do A roads and town driving and havent ever got under 35mpg on average on a tank. I normally get 36-37mpg

 

[Scutch]

Buy one. I bought a P1 wary of fuel consumption and its not half as bad as I expected. Only live once, go for it

 

[Leeshez]

Yes gor for it.

 

[Timmay]

yes buy one

 

[Justin]

go for it mate, i get about 300 miles to the tank, but i rag it regularly, when i head down to glasgow, i get about 350-400 miles

 

[Harry182]

I get 27.5 on avr. The Mrs drives during the week (short stop start driving) and I thrash it at weekends!!!
It never goes on long drives.
But i don't care cos its sooooooooooooo much fun!
You've gotta get one

 

[Iain C]

i do 50 miles a day in mine part motorway part b road.
Im getting about 40 mpg (well 39.2)

 

[Englebert]

I'm a granny on the motorway and mainly do 60mph. With radio, air con and xenons going i get 47mpg.

 

[lewisniven]

yeah i drive like a bit of a granny due to the amount of miles i do, came from nottingham to kettering yesterday and was sat at 44mpg, and that was the back(ish)roads thrui melton mowbraw etc, not down the M1. get one mate.

 

[Wilkeh]

[girl182]

[Thomss]

For what they are, I find them fine on fuel.

 

[Tyson-182]

I get 42 mpg on a steady run on the motorway. But usually when the floor drops below half, i give it some stick, never see it below 38 mpg though.
