What’s on your trip computer

[Reth Clio cup]

I am bored at work and was just wondering what you guys are reading on your trip computer??

My MPG = 36.2

 

[RSTDL]

Havent checked in a while but I think its 33.9mpg - 36.2 - do you do alot of motorway driving and cruising above 70? Thats pretty high! I have done 8952 miles

 

[Reth Clio cup]

Yeah i drive into work on the city Bypass, then my girlfriend drives it to her work, she drive like a granny

 

[Hippychick]

Freelander doesnt have one another reason to buy a Clio

 

[Lee]

No matter what type of driving I do Im seeing between 32 and 36 mpg. God its impressive. Ive never had a car travel that could achieve that sort of figure.

 

[McBunny]

mine is sat at 23.7 mpg at the moment

 

[KDF]

32.6 MPG .. my 1.2 courtesy car hit 66 MPG, cause I reset it then rolled it down a hill just to see how high I could get it .. lol

 

[flatpackedworld]

35-36 on average

 

[Dansta]

mines norm bout 32 and around 42-45 on motorway, (when resettin), if i reset when thrashin thro town it sits on 28-29!! sometimes 25 when redlining! it did go down and wouldnt go up again the other week, got a bit worried but its gone ok again now!

 

[RobFenn]

How did you find the 1.2 then KDF?

Im getting not much more than you 172 boys!

 

[McBunny]

except me lol least it was a free tank of petrol lol mate works in a garage and he discounted it down to 0 lol

 

[cuptastic]

35.9 mpg

not sure how that works she gets driven hard

 

[Chad]

my 172 is mostly @ 25 mpg but reset at 80 mph cruising behind a galaxy the other day and it went up to 56 mpg.....only done 600 miles though so does your mpg get better when its done a few more miles cause when it was brand new I was only gettin 16 mpg

Good, Its deffo much better on fuel.. I was averaging over 40MPG in the 1.2, on my 172 it is normally just above 30mpg

Suspension is a little too soft, and after 60mph it kinda looses it.. but all in all a great car, I miss having a sunroof a little bit now. was impressed with the equipment levels in the car, it had it all except climate control (which I believe is an option ?)

Anyway got my car back now and the immediate difference as you would expect is my car feels soooo torquey and you dont have to rev it high during normal driving.

all in all though the 1.2 is a cracking wee car.

I get around 25 mpg over the course of a month because I reset at the start and that was the figure I had at the end. This includes A roads/motorway, driving in London, normal town driving, and I live very near miles of country lanes. The latter spoils the figure I think.

 

[Dash]

Mine is at 11.9 mpg, but when I am being good ( tired ) I manage about 23 ish.

 

[Viv172]

30.5 using Optimax...

 

[KDF]

LOL, its all worth it though eh dash.. not so bad I guess if you moved to the middle east.. 55 Litres of fuel for £2

 

[Frosty]

Lets not go there!

 

[wellard]

mine averages between 32 - 36 , only use optimax , while on track i have had 16. 7 mpg though.

[Scudetto]

press the end of your wiper stalk m8 and it will scroll thru stuff like mpg, range, feul left etc.....

 

[Scudetto]

ok, Ill give it a prod when I leave tonight. (thinks....might be time to read the handbook, after all only had it about a year....)

[CraigM]

I average about 32mpg with mine.

 

[wilf]

39.2 on my Cup after 5k miles



Pretty fantastic but mostly driven gently

 

[® Andy]

Whereas mine lies to me to make me feel better! Reads about 32mpg, but then again last time I checked it, it said Id used 8.5G despite me putting 9.3G in at the pump!

Honestly tho dont care ... Im a man of few vices but driving fast is one of them ... so even if Im only getting <25mpg Im still smiling
