The 'What MPG Do You Get?' Thread

[Chris V6 255]

Done 400 miles in the sunflower so far, averaged around 38 mpg

 

[Diagro]

Did 344 miles before I filled uo with 48.37L
which is approx 32.9mpg

Much better than with old pre cat lambda. Max I got was 270 miles to a tank.

Still a bit below what I want though. Will get timings checked I think.

 

[Hawk_]

My computer is saying I'm doing about 60mpg.
But then have been on the motorway a lot the past week so that could be why

 

[MartinR]

37.1mpg around town with odd country road.

Weird really as before i had the box rebuilt it struggled to get above 30 even on a run. But its great now lol probably helped with me setting the tracking right

 

[Diagro]

Got the stock exhaust fitted. (genuine)

Computer says 34.9Mpg. Just stuck some petrol in and it stopped me @ 6.75L which is 1.484Gallons.
I had done 52.3Miles

52.3 / 1.484 = 35.2......

So wow... Its close to exact. Did the genuine exhaust fix something?

Put in my order for Unlocking rstuner. Will see what the 98ron map does with Momentum99 fuel

 

[welshname]

My journey to work every day shafts me. 7 miles, stop start traffic 23-26 mpg. Went to Sheffield the other night over snakes/wood head pass and it was 42mpg.

 

[RickD]

Stuck about 40 litres in when the light came on at 300 miles. Works out about 33 mpg which is mostly a road driving. Trip computer is sat at. 31.9 currently.

 

[dann2707]

Put in a new lambda sensor and the fuel economy seems to have dropped massively for my first journey with it. I'm guessing it's to do with the computer adjusting to receiving the correct amount of fuel now.

 

[..Jack..]

53.7mpg

 

[celicaturbolly]

Had the 182 a couple of weeks now, with mostly motorway cruising and a few a/b road blasts have averaged 34.7mpg on current tank

 

[JakeyCUK]

After driving home from Coventry to Blackpool at 70-75mpg I averaged 38mpg. Now doing some really short journeys around town I'm getting 28mpg. Need to get a push bike for these short trips lol

 

[MGF91]

I get around 33-35 MPG motorway driving.

About 24-28 MPG city driving.

 

[TheCleanerLeon]

Getting approx 50mpg from a remapped 2004 DCI 100, so basically twice what I was getting from my R53 supercharged Cooper S, and not even 'that' much slower (I tell myself)

Glad to see 182s getting in the 30s, might get one

 

[jayse182]

28.7mpg clio 200

 

[coverman]

In the 50 limit bits of the motorway, get 49mpg, dropping to 42-43 cruising around 70ish. 7.1 mpg in an Autosolo

 

[RichB]

 

[johnpidge]

22 in my 200 but that is around sarf london

 

[Addicted]

Average 27 in the R atm, not bad!

 

[Adam93]

27.2 MPG, mixture of town driving and A roads. 32-34mpg on the Motorway

 

[Big chris]

RS clio are brill, the faster you go the less fuel you use. Reset your trip and see.lol. I hammer mine all the time and still get around 28 mpg.

 

[JamieTS3]

36mpg 1.2 mk3.

 

[chrishesketh]

average 33 in my 182 if I behave

 

[dann2707]

Filled up with tesco 99, got 39mpg and that's some country lanes, 10 mins on the motorway and not taking it steady!

Thats a clio 182

 

[Adam93]

I have re set the trip; i don't get any more than 24 round town. I get 19-21 if i go to North Wales and early 30's on the motorway.

 

[hdsn555]

33mpg on a daily drive with some spirited driving, drove 100 round trip with cruise control and hit around 42mpg.

Only use 98/99ron and pretty sure 98ron map from previous owner.

 

[unofficialPete]

Did a 600 mile round trip to North Wales from London coming back via South Wales with motorway traffic, country lanes, 4 adult passengers and a full boot.

40.2 mpg :approve:

The 182 is awesome.

 

[Diagro]

These numbers, Are you getting them from maths @ the pump or looking at the Display?

For me the display is showing 25% more than it actually gets. Without fail!

An example.

Say your computer says 40Mpg.

That would mean to a full tank you will be getting 480Miles. Or if you fill when the light pops up around 410 miles.
(based on 55L tank, 4.54L per Uk Gal. 12.1Gal per 1*2 Tank. Light comes on when 1Gal left Approx)

I can say for sure you will find that you will get around 300-350Miles from that tank and not 400. Unless you do and you have some sorta super car which you should sell to me asap ;P

 

[Addicted]

Don't get this thread locked too!

We know your car has MPG issues, doesn't mean the rest of the Clios do

I agree the trip is most likely out, but good enough for most people ^^

On another note - around 27mpg this morning, hate it when it's busy and you have to go 40mph in Nationals, and then overtake.

On clear roads I easily hit 33, because I don't have to slow down for morons.

Thinking the above makes me feel a little better

 

[Dannyeff]

You are probably right, although I may have got 380 from top to bottom without the light going on, can't remember now. Only use about a tank a month but will do it by the pump next time..

 

[Reikro]

I used to get 40 ~ 42MPG in my standard trim 1.2, however since fitting 15" OZ F1's that has dropped to an average of about 38MPG.

 

[McGherkin]

Normally get around 25 as I do a lot of sitting in traffic. Normally get around 40mpg on the motorway, although I did once manage 52 coming back from Exeter - that was trying though.

 

[gex23]

Averaging 31 MPG in the Zed.

 

[dann2707]

31mpg now the kids are back at school

I can also smell petrol

 

[Willo40]

I am getting around 30, and I take it easy most of the time, that is backwards and forwards to work in traffic....

Willo

 

[m1tch1987]

Around 70mpg, 1.5DCi 80

 

[piranhamatt]

Best out of a tank that I was willing to risk was 415 miles.

I achieved 50+ mpg on a trip to Lyme Regis (late at night, lazy throttle no braking)

My current is 42.2mpg 172 cup (with 98 ron map)

 

[Dimmock197]

averaging at 22.8 normal round town driving, got 28.9 on motorway

 

[Diagro]

31mpg now the kids are back at school 😧

I can also smell petrol

Exactly the same.
And i can smell fuel - Fuel lines are fine, tank is fine, Plastic filling pipe to tank is fine and no smell in engine bay so it must be the tank simply venting
