The 'What MPG Do You Get?' Thread

Rhauri · Aug 23, 2012

I'm a new owner, so struggling not to drive enthusiatically, so I'm hovering around the 32 mpg mark. If I drove any of my old cars like this I'd be hovering around the 20 mpg mark, and they weren't much (if at all in the case of the E46 325i) quicker either!

Bloody love this thing.

Kyle 86 · Aug 23, 2012

About 25 MPG the trip computer on a clio is about as accurate as stevie wonder doing clay pigeon shooting lol

Coops Mk1 · Aug 24, 2012

reset the trip after filling tank this morning, did the normal work commute of 12 miles and its now sat up at 46.5mpg

flat-eric · Aug 25, 2012

filed mine up tonight £63.47. === trip when empty read 437 miles.

so in my eyes, a cheap motor to run!

pipercross filter, everything standard, heavy right foot.

George182 · Aug 25, 2012

On a long run I can get high 30's/low 40's.

But since I drive it like a hot hatch I average 32/33. Which I think is amazing for a 2ltr petrol engine!

Amos91 · Aug 25, 2012

Did 45mpg on a 190 mile run today. Most impressed.

gez 172 · Aug 26, 2012

My 200 is staring to loosen up now, it's on 7K.

Averaging 38-39mpg on my commute to work.

How you have the patience for that is beyond me Mark.

You musn't let it see above 2.5k in any gear, am I right?

Mostly, but there's a few overtakes in there as well.

I keep up with traffic (if there is any) otherwise I just plod along at 50-60mph and make it a mission to not use the brakes...so coming off the throttle early whenever I see a potential hazard.

I have managed my 26 mile commute home with only 7 presses of the middle pedal in total before LOL.

Also, the reality is, any additional progress I make by accelerating harder/cruising faster is lost at each village/tractor I come across so it's kind of pointless.

Latest update for me, every fill-up recorded since I got the car on December 3rd and real MPG calculated (not the overly pessimistic on-board trip computer);

Ged · Aug 28, 2012

Nice outing this morning. My house to sacristan near Durham, 32 miles and averaged 75.6mpg from cold start to destination including a fuel stop.

Love my dci.

Clio 182, 56.7 which is a total lie, but its nice to laugh

Had it reading 67 when i was going easy

JamesCA · Sep 3, 2012

Roughly between 26-36 in my 172 depending on how I'm driving it/traffic etc

EmirK0 · Sep 4, 2012

Clio 1.2 16V will easily do 43mpg (trip) doing 65ish. Normal town driving will get about 38 seeing as they need a little work to get going!

Talan · Sep 9, 2012

Just got 42.7 fully loaded over 140 miles half motorway half a roads.

Ghm · Sep 9, 2012

Only got 34 Mpg on a long motorway trip to Blackpool, did have a lot of suitcases and whatnot adding weight but still, expected more mpg.

lambpie · Sep 11, 2012

I've seen 42mpg on a motorway run, tend to average 35mpg. (172 ff)

Readings from the onboard computer..

Makes me wonder what a stripped out 172 cup could manage on a long run, 50mpg+?

Struggler · Sep 11, 2012

I got 41.3 on a short A road trip, i was going about 50 and really nursing it up!! thats as high as i got before i had to turn off! lol

Chriskayaker · Sep 11, 2012

mines 38+ sometimes get 40 just for driving from work and back and driving around, i do kayak as well witch means boat on the roof and kit in the back, plus my sub.. if im sticking to a certain speed ie 60 I can usually get 32mpg.. not the best.. fill up every 5 days usually costs £40

182tev · Sep 13, 2012

computer is telling me 33.0mpg and is always where it sits. Probably more like 25 mpg :S

Pauleds · Sep 23, 2012

15mpg on the last road rally I did. Had a misfire all night but kept it revving! Exhaust got that hot it melted the underseal as well as my warning triangle I had in the boot and tried to set fire to the spill kit that was in there too. Thought there was a funny smell but didnt look in the boot until the finish.

I have just sold my vectra 2.2 Sri that average 32mpg with my lead foot so going to use the Clio for a bit so hope to get the same or better mpg now the misfire is fixed.

Not too bad for a petrol, its due a service though

cazzy · Sep 23, 2012

I have got 47.5 MPG on a 60mile trip in a 172 clio

MicKPM · Sep 23, 2012

The wife's tCe does 43mpg and seems to run everywhere in a month on £30 but the Laguna only manages 32-36mpg (it has claimed 42.4mpg on a run with cruise on but I do t believe it).

xena · Oct 16, 2012

65mpg on combined driving from my dci80

28mpg from my Kia Sorento tho

muld · Oct 16, 2012

23 MPG

Maybe 30 on a good run.

Siddle · Oct 16, 2012

around 30mpg with short trips, but upto about 45mpg on long journeys!

either way. good for what it is!

Same for me... Depending on how much fun the roads are on the "long journeys", mind!

BigLewi19 · Oct 18, 2012

Getting about 25mpg atm increased slightly using Shell V-Power.. have manged 35mpg on a tank being extremely economical.. This is with an RS200.

Callum 197 · Oct 20, 2012

About 26-32 in the 197 mostly short trips though unfortunately.

gez 172 · Oct 20, 2012

Was on Tesco normal averaged 35.4 on my work commute.
gone back to momentum, 37.1 mpg

in my R.S 200

Sam@NP · Oct 20, 2012

27mpg in the Porka combined. 32mpg cruising with the roof up.

devilsadvocate · Oct 22, 2012

Im doing more and more miles at work so im tempted to oust the 200 and get a diesel.......never owned one but its getting to the point where its needed.

A nice Audi A4 or BMW 320D does 50mpg average and performance figures are not exactly poor.

Never thought I would get a Audi/BMW or even a diesel but more miles each month is edging me closer towards it

Combined driving I get 27-28mpg.

I could double that almost with a diesel.

Pauleds · Oct 27, 2012

Well im using the Cup daily now, new leads and coil pack so missfire gone and im averaging 32mpg. I was hoping for a bit more really considering my commute is a 42 mile round trip on by-pass / duel carriageway and I was getting more from the 2.2 SRi vectra that ive just sold.
Might get a remap and stick it on the rollers to make sure its all setup ok

Reko · Oct 27, 2012

With the temps going near 0 recently my MPG has taken a nose dive

Hate this time of year for MPGs. Guess the car has to work harder to warm up thus reducing fuel efficiency ?

tom172cup · Oct 27, 2012

I dont know how accurate the computer thing is but mine went to 2.2mpg today on the drag strip :S

Westytce · Oct 28, 2012

Trip reads over 50mph now after the ktec remap, very good when driven gently, not bad for 1.2 with 163bhp. almost like a diesel...

MargateChris182 · Oct 29, 2012

Mine says 23 in my 197, but i very rarely go on motorway, mostly local

Thought they were only like 100 as standard....what has yours had done to get 163?

Link below. They are 100bhp standard.

15mpg for me. Only had the car a few weeks, worth every penny though.
