On my first outing around north Wales with the Cs lot I got 11-14 at one point. While the ph1 out with us was getting 30s.

 

[BGEarles]

Mines on a shitty 24.3mpg on my 1.6, need to stop driving with a heavy foot!

 

[Stefan.]

mid 20's...

 

[Harbinger]

43 in the St.

 

[ClioRN]

36 from my 1.2

36 from my 1.2

Either you have a leaded foot or your car needs a tank full of shell v power FLOL

 

[ClioRN]

Ha, No lead foot but something's wrong because i can smell the un-burnt petrol. no warning lights and it's running perfect in every other way so idk .:S Next service is due in 5k miles so ill change everything and hope that sorts it.

EDIT: Just thinking, the car takes a while to heat up so maybe the thermostat is stuck open and is causing it to burn more petrol? need to get that checked soon

 

[matt911]

If the gauge gets to Middle it's fine. I would try testing the O2 sensors. My upstream sensor needs replacing causing it to run rich

I'm getting 28mpg ECO driving lmao

 

[Clio172NE]

A steady 33 with my trigger happy throttle attitude which im happy about

 

[Welshwarrior475]

My 1.6 16v has had 51mpg but I wad driving like a granny lol

 

[leemckew]

28mpg but driving short distance to work and heavy foot ha ha

 

[GTIALEX182]

Got 38 mpg on a long motorway journey with the cruise control set to 75mph
On the way back i got 35 mpg with a faster journey

 

[..Jack..]

48mpg in my 1.2 according to trip.

 

[CrippsCorner]

28mpg but driving short distance to work and heavy foot ha ha

Same here currently sitting on 27.9! Haven't been able to give it a long drive for ages hopefully going to Scotland later in the year will even it out a bit lol.

 

[STRBramley]

I managed 48mpg on the way down to Santa Pod from Nottingham but I average 29 on my daily commute.

 

[Seoi-nage]

40-42mpg daily in my Ph2 Cup, driven pretty hard on V-power

 

[Diagro]

29Mpg today but was @ 38 untill i hit heavy traffic. My 40 min commute turned into a 2 hour one because some twonk decided to crash

 

[DanH7]

Currently showing 33.9Mpg just a few short runs per week. Pretty happy with that.

 

[Simon_16v]

A calculated 36.5mpg, the computer was showing 37.1mpg. Will do me

 

[keifer1903]

Getting 41 in my cup driven mix between motorway and country quick roads.

 

[ESmithers]

Averaging 39mpg in town driving a 1.2 Dynamique and 54mpg on motorways

 

[Diagro]

Cars done 230 miles and I have one bar left...
This seems a bit low tbh as I have been driving like an old man.
60mph cruse on motorway and very slow acceleration upto limits in town.

What do others get from a tank when driving like this?

50 L ÷ 260m = 5.2
50 L ÷ 4.5 = 11.1
260 ÷ 11.1 = 23.4
(260 is a final milage estimate)

So that's 23.4mpg. ... which is appalling for driving like an old man. But much better than the 10 mpg I was getting before car was repaired.

Anyone got any ideas on what I can check to attempt to fix this low economy issue?

 

[Diagro]

To expand on above.
Car says I'm allways above 30 and normally around 35 to 40mpg. But based on simple calculations it's entirely different story

 

[Stevo!]

200T - 35mpg around town and 45-50mpg on the motorway.

 

[boultonn]

Average about 39 around city, or up to 47 on dual carriageway

 

[llgsimpson]

51 mpg average on a 400mile motorway journey,

Then an average of 42 mpg combined fair to say the cars working pretty well!

 

[Clio172NE]

After the policed followed me allll the way home last night i go 40.1

 

[djspt]

Bout early to mid 30's always ran on Vpower. Better than my old civic was lucky to get 20 lol.

 

[BigBarry172]

36.1mpg! mixture of cruising off gas on A-roads / motorways & giving it some 7000rpm beanz!!!

 

[Diagro]

Seems there is a massive variance in the mpg these cars are getting.....

I find it all very odd

I find mine very predictable, around town 28, dual carriage ways and motorways 38. Also find being a little heavy with right foot doesn't really change this. After having my 172 for 4 months now I'm quite impressed. If you have come from a 1.2 or the likes you may feel RS are a little thirsty but overall brilliant in every way.

 

[Dan@Greenlight]

did a 200 mile round trip last night in my 172 phase 2 clio, got 38 mpg out of it, driving sensibly.

I was quite impressed by that.

 

[ryan ellis]

Got 40 mpg on a 400 drive (mostly m-way). That was calculated at the pump, the car told me 41 mpg. Quite happy with that from a 13yr old car with 125k on the clock!

 

[ESmithers]

Averaging 33mpg round town but 51mpg on motorways and A roads

 

[Cooperate]

well my 172 averaged slightly better than my current 182. Only difference I can think of is that the 172 had a longlife exhaust and the 182 is standard? but still I get a minimum of 34 mpg

 

[dann2707]

I got this today at one point on my drive home back from down south to Leeds. Fairly chuffed but that was taking it super steady on the motorway.

 

[BenGmin]

Got 38.5mpg on the 120 mile trip from picking up my 172 today, mostly A roads. Pretty happy with that

 

[JamesClio1]

27-29 around town and 32-35 on long trips/motorway journeys. Drive a 197
