Re: ace mpg from my dci 100

i bet you were bored though im not overly bothered about mpg in a car, i drive because i enjoy it. some people spend there money on computers, others on prostitutes, me just on petrol (and the odd beer)

Renault trip computers lie

Re: ace mpg from my dci 100

today i've enjoyed an average of 55-70 mpg through out the day and that was driving in the town a bit as well not bad aye

whats you boys getting?

I can guarantee that your MPG isn't what the trip computer says.

Our DCI 65 says it's averaging 72 MPG, in reality it's averaging around 52 to 55 MPG

Re: ace mpg from my dci 100

If that's true then mine must be doing under 20! Haha. Registers around 25/26mpg ish.

Re: ace mpg from my dci 100

Mine realistically averages about 50mpg for every day use. But I see 65 on long runs!

 

[Cup_Phil]

Re: ace mpg from my dci 100

[Owen_m]

Re: ace mpg from my dci 100

Thats pretty good going tonka truck, yeah i just fill up when i'm near the now lend haha!

 

[daydotz]

500 miles a tank out of my old dci then again I get almost 400 out of my gti

 

[Leonzee]

MPG Is 39 at the moment? Whats that workout to?

 

[iOllieSM]

I have a picture of mine getting 65.3, couldn't quite believe it tbh!

 

[keechy]

In the cooper I average about 28, but when cruising on the montorway I can get about 36mpg... Which isn't too bad, the supercharger just HATES short journeys.

 

[Postman Matt]

as indicated on the cars mpg function, however in reality i get more like 37-38mpg, this is calculated on the fact i always put in around 10 gallon of fuel at each fill up and get 370/380miles to a tank.

The pic above was taken from a couple of weekends ago when i had been mtb'ing, so had 2 fully equipped downhill mtb's a passenger and our gear for the day on a mix of A and B roads and a round trip of approx 120 miles

 

[Ed_S]

Filled the 172 cup up tonight, then drove 15ish miles home:

Was showing around 48mpg I think

 

[Ged]

my eco college and back trip sees me 60-65, my weekend and night trips see me from 48-58 (fairly boosting about) overall im happy 130 miles ish to 10 litres

 

[JSB101]

27.8mpg until dropped the cat for decat now running at 31.1mpg ( 182 )

 

[joshsta]

So with my 1.4L 16V Clio (Note i have induction and exhaust!) I took a little trip to London and back from Bedford, In total its a 118.7M Trip. I put £20 in the tank at £1.34.9 (Sainsbury's).

I reset my trip/mile counter as i was pulling out of petty station, and when i arrived back at home, i still had 52M left. The Average MPG for the journey was 44.8MPG.

Meaning £20 which is 14.8L = 3.25Gallon's = 145.6 Miles off £20, according to the car!!! When in fact, i actually got 166 Miles in reality :lolup:

Im usually a town driver though and get 25- 35MPG Average and rinse about £15 a day.

Sorry to bore anyone with the slight mathematics :rasp:

LOL did you coast down hill all the way home!!! ?

 

[gez 172]

I'm averaging 33 in my Clio 200. Should be a little better once it's run in

 

[James23]

did a 90 mile round trip in the 182 today mainly motorway but some town driving with speed bumps etc. had the climate on full blast - Trip showed 46mpg for the journey. Had 1 passenger and a spare engine lol

 

[.Kev.]

40 sat at 70mph in the Mini

 

[timuss]

Had a motorway blast over the weekend ended up with around 36 MPG I was quite heavy on the gas lol1

 

[iOllieSM]

How many miles do you get to £20 in a 172?

 

[Reko]

Got my 182 last week, filled up £50 and reset the mpg. I'm averaging 39mpg wtf :| I'm doing 20% town driving and the rest A roads. It can't be that good, the mpg computer must be broken :dapprove:
And i'm not driving like a granny either.

 

[RobertB]

Got my 1.2 Extreme on wednesday, done a bit of local B road driving, and currently sitting on 35mpg. Should rise when I hit the motorways and dual carriageways when commuting. Aiming for 40!

 

[Jay.]

25mpg in my 200.

18 Months old and 14,000 miles.

 

[dave120]

anyone crack 100 miles for a tenner?

 

[Addicted]

Averaging 32mpg atm

 

[RSR182]

Get about 37 on work commute, includes quite a bit of traffic, 50 mph zones, several roundabouts and car parks which I think is pretty good for what the car is! 48 best on the motorway!

 

[Maccy]

Since I filled up on Tuesday I've experimented with driving as lightly as possible, currently managing just under 42mpg!

 

[Austin-182]

55mpg on the motorway.33-40 town, depending how i drive.

 

[JohnR27]

anyone crack 100 miles for a tenner?

in my dreams i do

 

[Jordi17]

More than I did in the 182 for sure! Polo FTW

 

[RobertB]

anyone crack 100 miles for a tenner?

Yeah, if I sit on 65-70mph from mine to Birmingham along the M1 and M6, I get 57mpg. Average mpg for usage since wednesday (when I collected car), is 43mpg.

 

[mjf93]

I normally get between 32-34, but taking it easy ish today i got 40mpg out of my 172 Cup. All according to the computor, so not that accurate but still a good sugestion lol

 

[Jeff456]

45 mpg on a motorway run at 65... Trip shows 36.2 which is the average of the last 5k miles, I think my trip computer actually slightly undereads compared with brim to brim calculations

 

[Alex_225]

Finding my 172 sits around the 30mpg mark although crept up to about 40mpg on a motorway run last weekend.

The Mrs gets about 35mpg in her 133 although on a run down to see her family it worked out at 50mpg which is pretty impressive. I get the same kind of figures in my 133 Gordini.

The 225 only really sees 24mpg unless you're in 6th cruising at 65-70ish.

Quite glad I get the train to work really as I don't have to worry about the mpg too much.

 

[st3ve]

I've been getting 42mpg now I've moved to Wales. All country lanes here so mostly just cruise at 60.
