Yes the computers wrong. Never got better than 35 in mine, driving at 65 on a long run, computer said 48!!!!! The official figures circa 34 mpg combined (on a rolling road), therefore will be hard pushed to get better than this in reality.

Phase 2 clio 172
Clio 172 full fat
mixture of driving I seem to get 34-36 mpg
cruising at 50-60mph I will get 43+
Obviously if I floor it everywhere it drops right down
had it for just over a week and I'm really surprised how good it is considering how it tears off when you floor it haha!

When I got the cup it was on 24.1 mpg and now it sticks above 32 mpg. If only that was the reality....
Evo 5 RS
28.2.
S'not a Clio though. Used to get mid 30s on the ITB bus when it was running OMEX

99.9MPG after a reset and rolling down a hill in neutral.
RB FF 182
Slight decline there, and alight incline coming back?
Dunno. Don't think it would be that much. It's between forfar and Aberdeen
I managed 116 miles to £20, computer was reading 42mpg average although a 1/4 of the tank had bene used and once calculater it had done around 35mpg
Renaultsport 197 FF

My 172 was definitely a bit better on fuel according to the trip computer. Usually about 2-3 mpg but I still seem to put around the same in so it could just be the 182 is a bit more accurate...?
I wish I could get that - and I should be with my driving style and commute route... if I reset the mpg readout on a 50mph stretch it averages 42mpg over a 5 mile run. Then zero'd again down the motorway at 70mph for 7 miles it averages 38 ... thats 90% of my journey and the rest is 30/40mph which flows easily. I'd have to be averaging something like 15mpg on those 4 miles to bring it down to 33. Honestly don't understand whats going on, it just doesnt add up.
I must admit to not being very impressed by the fuel consumption on my Clio 172 for such a small car it's not that great when driving sensibly, and don't even ask when driving fast. comparing it to my 1.8T Golf GTI, which had 250Bhp, this car was better on fuel, which has amazed me considering the power difference.
mini cooper R50
not in a Clio anymore but a cooper first gen, I get around 130 mile on half a tank (works out around 25 mpg max) the 1.2 grande I had was 144 miles on a 1/4 of a tank lol
Sorted my economy woes - not sure if it was bad fuel or the Redex I'd put through the system (I know, it probably doesn't do anything but I like to put 1 bottle through / year) but I averaged 37 from the last 1/2 tank and this morning it hit 39 on my commute.
Don't get me wrong, I didn't buy the car for fuel economy, but I knew from past 172 ownership they could achieve something acceptable on a steady boring commute with the occasional blast when possible, leaving the weekends for all out fun :rasp:

Clio 197
29 - 35 on a normal run, 17 on a back-road blast, if I go 55mph on the motorway I could probably push near 38.
197.. Pretty crappy on petrol, but I didnt buy it for economy.

Actually, just checked.. I've averaged 22.7 MPG for the last 500 miles, surely something is wrong!

Mazda 2, Ph1 172
get between 40-43mpg in my ph1 172 driving sensibly around town! slightly better on a long motorway run and giving it the beans.........well who cares about fuel economy in this situation
agreed - I didnt buy this (or any other car) because it had fantastic MPG - few seldom actually do what they say on the tin
Brother in law had a diesel smart car which was supposed to do 60mpg or something but rarely did he see much more than 40 - and how can you drive like your grandma in London traffic
