The 'What MPG Do You Get?' Thread

[jonno_c]

Did a a trip from Ashford, Kent up to Cheam Surrey and managed to get just about 42 mpg exactly each way, in a 05 182, so pretty surprised by that. That was a steady 70/80 all the way. I was shouting at the missus, "We are getting 49mpg in places" which she couldn't have given a toss about ; (

 

[Clart]

I've currently averaging 41.5 - not reset the trip computer for about 2 months now. Thats quite impressive

 

[Saul]

Averaged 39.8 with mixed driving in the 172 cup! And that was figured out via calculations, trip computers are always ambitious.

 

[Rubicon_]

41.5 to for me on a long trip there.

 

[mjf93]

Past 3-4 weeks driving about, not on an economy run, and driving Southampton to Portsmouth 4 days a week at about 75
650 miles in total and got 37.5mpg

 

[Tails_]

Just had the Fuel light come on in the DCI with 96 miles range left, computer saying 647 miles had been covered since I filled it the other week to the first click. Averaged 68odd MPG, was hovering around 75 in some places. Motorways, country lane blasts, fairly varied!

Was a bit better than usual after running some Forte diesel treatment after seeing a recommendation from Chip.

 

[Jordan537]

my 1.6 16v is averaging about 42.4 MPG

 

[CrippsCorner]

Sitting at 30.1 in my 182 atm... can I keep it above 30!? Hopefully.

 

[E60 M5]

Around town sub 11 mpg, average 150 miles per £80 full tank

That's got to be an older M5 Yeah? My MD has the new one and he is raving about getting 24mpg!

 

[Highlander1984]

I cant get 30 MPG from my 197 to save my life it has some thing to do with just having a cave man type urge to turn up the revs you cant beat that sound of a high revving engine so i get 26 from mine at the moment if i wanted a car that gets good MPG i would have a mini cooper d which gets 70+MPG

 

[E60 M5]

Yep it's the v10 n/a the new one is v8 twin turbo, I can get 25+ mpg sat in top gear at a constant 50mph but honestly when do we ever do that, 75 mph with m button not activated 19 mpg, around town it is constantly sat at 11 mpg but and it's a big but , BMW programmed the trip computer to show no lower than 11 mpg so my mind boggles, my days of owning her are now numbered its been 2 years and am looking at the Clio v6 to replace it

 

[Mr Anderson]

Reset my trip 10 days ago, and apparently i'm averaging 39.7. At first I was like aye right, but I'm not long past half a tank with 240 miles travelled.

 

[Robiniho77]

37 currently in my Ph1 172...

Just need to keep my head and not open up that throttle...

 

[johnpidge]

27.8 from Hounslow (well someone has to live there) to Ilford (er ditto) but i think we got blown back in the gales last night so wind power may have contributed

 

[Fletchyboy93]

I get at least 75 mpg out of my dci however if I rag it a bit that goes down to about 68 nice and easy on the wallet

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Average in 8k miles is just under 15mpg, If i drive like a granny iv'e had it as high as 27!

 

[Mr Anderson]

340 miles done, light yet to come on

 

[Mr Anderson]

36 mpg

 

[Rob]

Straight 6 3.0, 100% town driving gets me about 26, long runs about 38/39. I almost miss a clio from that perspective considering I do an awful lot of in town lately.

 

[STRBramley]

I got 39 on Friday night but I average 29 usually.

 

[bennettxo]

i get 32.8ish in my mk3 clio 1.2,but i only drive round locally and to college and back

 

[Lal B3N]

Approx 30 in my astra gsi. Anywhere between 300 and 400 mile to a tank depending on how you drive.

 

[Mark-F]

average 22-24 around town, on a run i can get anything between 34-39 max, speed depending.

3 litre 6 pot

 

[guysy]

I average around 33, town driving, I think Im going to wack a new Lambda in it soon, anyone seen a good improvement in MPG doing so?

 

[Lawro]

My average is 34.6MPG over 5,000 miles.

 

[v15ben]

Currently rolling (slowly) in a Honda Jazz 1.3 to do a lot of motorway miles.
Averaging 48.6MPG (real, not trip computer calcs) over 14k miles, current tank is almost 60MPG!

 

[Pink-182]

Put in that shell nitro+ (99 Ron ) for the first time this week and averaged 43 mpg in my 182 cup. Was 37 mpg on normal 95 Ron.

 

[debussetti]

My average is 34.6MPG over 5,000 miles.

34.6 over the last 1310 miles!

Happy with that.

 

[Alan]

From 23-33mpg in the 200.

 

[MarkCup]

Here's mine...seems to be getting better as it loosens up.

 

[Alan]

Those eco-boost engines seem really good, lass i know has a new Fiesta with the 1.0 eco-boost - 120bhp, goes well for a small engine.

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Did well today! nice steady motorway drive got me over 30MPG!

Shocked!

 

[johnpidge]

From 23-33mpg in the 200.

Thats all I get with mine - 90% driving in West London so not really surprised

 

[.Joe]

depending on the driving im doing i can see anywhere between 38-50
get around 38-40, normal motorway driving and managed to get and hold a good 50mpg down to durdle door from watford with a completely full car of camping stuff, car doesnt really play nice to the eco runs and ends up making groaning sounds until its had a good bit of downshifting

 

[johnpidge]

Thats all I get with mine - 90% driving in West London so not really surprised

Mind you reading Evo this morning on the loo as you do I noticed we should be getting 34mpg or something - never seen that!

 

[Corby G]

Clio 172 - Today going to work was 38.4. Motorways or pussy driving I can get it to 41.7

 

[Toms_clio]

My ph1 is doing about 37 around town, 46 on the motorway at 70mph

 

[Alex5]

Anyone know which will do better mpg in real world driving out of the 1.2 mk2 and 1.2 mk3?
I know in my old mk2 I could get up to 55mpg when driving like an angel
