didnt realise cruising the red light district burned off as much fuel...

 

[Coops Mk1]

best i get is arond 36 off boost

on boost, i dont want to talk about it

 

[Alan]

It doesn't but 120 on a regular basis down the 77 does...

 

[Ali]

FAIL!

 

[Alan]

FAIL!

'watch this'

 

[Ali]

PMSL! KNows! 12.1 my arse. You clearly reset that! BOOTED it and took a pic!

 

[Alan]

Nope...constant of 120 over a 10 min stint of 'get tae fvck oot ma way' a few weeks back...that said, that was the Sunday, i'd reset the counter on the Friday..

 

[Inodaz]

Best i had out of my 1.4 16v. Didn't last long!

Even at 120...I canny see the 197 doing 12miles to the gallon lol! RENO lies! The vee was doing that on track!

WATCH THIS!!!!!!!!!!

 

[@rt]

my 1.2 hasn't gone below 40mpg in the month i've owned it! but then i rarely go above 4,000 rpm....cos i was always red lining my old ibiza and within 2 months the head gasket went! lol

 

[stoddie]

'watch this'

feck me!lowest ive seen the porker at was 16.8 - but thats insane!

 

[Alex H]

Used to be running low-to-mid 30s in the 1.2 16v - got some new tyres and the tracking done, and now averaging 41

 

[whatisjustis]

20.3 currently

 

[DMS]

I got 42mpg on the way down to KTec earlier on today.
Now I'm back and I've reset the trip computer, I'm getting 20ish. The exhaust sounds mint at WOT though, it's hard to resist

Met you today mate!! Didn't realise you were on CS!

 

[st3ve]

I believe some of these aren't genuine readings especially the 99.9 and 69 somethin.

I'm sure all of us could reset the counter, drive like a granny for a few miles and then take a picture of the first readout but what's the point?

Anyway I get a genuine 32 -36 mpg combined, highest I've seen it is around 40 on a run and lowest is about 29 after bouncing off the limiter a few times. Comparing these figures to that of a 1.6 16v there is virtually no difference which isn't surprising really considering the little difference in performance between the two.

nobody ever says when they're coming down... I've been bored out of my mind today getting insurance quotes. Could have had a mini meet and compared our MPG figures...!

 

[alex-avfc]

sac changing up at 2000 rpm!

36mpg is about the average in my 1.2 16v

The average speed is the one that lies! 40 minutes of 80mph up the M6, pull in at a service station and its saying 38mph

Finally. Another 1.4 owner who gets real figures. I struggle to get over 37 odd but generally get 32 and im tanking it everywhere.

In my 1.6 i used to get 24 max, but i did like to tank that. There is a performance difference tbh.

Haha sorry!! Got there at just past 11 o clock with R1XPH and willst for a few things! Met a kid with a 1.2 flamer with a 172 kit on and amphasite alloys and also saw Darren!!

Got my car sooo dirty though! Saw alot of snow too!

Also saw alot of chicken wire on a few cars :quiet:

 

[DMS]

Met you today mate!! Didn't realise you were on CS!

Ah.
I take it you was the one who'd got the Monaco 172 then?

 

[VeinAST]

Ah.

Yeah!! First day of driving!! How's the exhaust?

 

[DMS]

How's the exhaust?

First impressions: Brilliant.
It's not too loud when cruising at 70 or less. Anything more and it starts getting a bit noisy, but I've found that's easily solved by turning the stereo up a tad.
At full throttle it sounds bob on. It's very loud though. I set a car alarm off going down my Mrs' road earlier on.
I love the sound it makes when starting the engine.
Highly recommended you get one

 

[NathJ]

i have a 1.2 16v and its always betweem 32-34 how did you manage over 40's?!

been driving stupidly slow for around 2 weeks.





and as for the genuine reading comment it is.

today it has been 55.2MPG most of the day.

 

[Kiwi172]

6.8 liters/100km or 41.8 mpg (no a/c)

 

[scott1205]

how do you get the mpg to come up?

i dont think your car has it mate think its just the dynamic

 

[midder]

[rctempire]

Taken last night.

 

[T. 12 E E D.]

Took a trip out today and i was averaging in my 182 between 39-41.2 at 70mph !!!

 

[elmo2002]

Today i had as low as 7.9. is this bad lol

 

[Inodaz]

Today i had as low as 7.9. is this bad lol

That is bad! surely thats not a clio?! I used to see that in my dads ranger rover after a good thrashing!

 

[tonksy26]

I reset my mpg today, drove a mile and then looked and it was 35.6, i stopped still as the longer i waited the lower i watched it drop, it literally dropped infront of me while stood still. It went down to 19.9 and then i got scared so turned the engine off. Whats going on ? was the on board comp having a fit or somthing or should i be worried somthing is wrong ? lol

 

[ChorleyFM]

Most i've had out the 182 while granny shifting...

 

[DJB]

After playing on an airfield i achieved

 

[182kev]

I average around 29 on daily use,no point driving like a fairy to save fuel whilst its still under a quid a litre lol

 

[Dafthead]

Since I picked it up:

 

[daydotz]

this is mine i reset it for my trip to work this morning an it got upto 75mpg by the time i got home it was reading 67mpg


ive worked out its doing an acutal 53mpg curently highest ive seen is 59mpg think the worst was 51mpg

 

[Darmon]

you havent recently reset the trip computer have you?

I honestly dont think you're getting 70mpg. Thats the same as one of those VW Fox things almost
