[Cro]

I return something similar, if not a tad higher for both normal driving and granny driving... minimally higher though

 

[weggy71]

I am kicking 32 mpg in my 182, not driving like a girl / granny (sorry ladies) but also not booting the car either.
The official figures are 32.9 mpg so can't grumble

 

[DrR]

Not another MPG thread, 31ish.

 

[Tim172]

24-25mpg sounds like something isn't right

Could be a townie?

 

[Tim172]

normal roads according to OP, should get into the 30s at least with mixed driving

 

[-J-]

[Fletcher]

[Sarah]

mostly my car is used to go to work and back. nower days potter to work between 50 and 60 in 5th bar the lil back road stretch then its foot to floor somehow get 40 mpg out of the car

 

[Ian_182]

I used to get 32-34 on average

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Well i just seen what a devastating effect a heavy right foot can have and the result is 228 miles to a full tank, christ i never thought that was possible

 

[Ali]

about 14-16 round town. but 26-30 on motorway. 6 on track tho!

 

[bmh.01]

35-37 usually round town/nsl roads etc. Best I ever managed was 42 on the motorway.

 

[scott7912]

Trip computer at the moment says 33.9mpg but in the real world i think its about 29mpg.
Since the price per barrel of oil is set to get even higher now i think i will have to start pushing my car about, maybe cut the floor out and do it flintstones style.

 

[Black-Clio-1.4]

41-45

 

[DebV6]

About 24

 

[davM]

Trip currently says 38.3 as I've just done a 300mile round trip mostly motorway, but also includes chasing a TVR around country roads.

I usually get 33-34mpg average

 

[S6 EMY]

34.9 at the mo

 

[Dash]

Get out and push it.

Honestly, you'll be spotted by almost everyone on every car forum.

Fame at last. :approve:

I didn't think that was too bad for a V6. It goes up on motorway journeys. I can't remember what I get to a tank, I'm not sure if I've checked..

4mpg? Wow! I've never had it go below 20 yet lol, I can't be trying hard enough!

 

[Henry]

was bored on the motorway a couple of weeks ago so experimented with speeds/mpg. not sure how accurate the the in-car-computer is (i'm assuming it's fairly optimistic - ?) but in my 172 Cup the difference between 80mph (38ish mpg) and 70mph (45ish mpg) was worth noting i thought

 

[Beef-Mc]

I'm getting an average of 38MPH driving pretty normally.

 

[*Badger*]

Average 35-36mpg on the computer, but actually works out at 32-33mpg if you work it out at the pump.

 

[T-Bag]

My average is 35mpg and that includes some silly 4th gear motorway type action as well as some sensible driving. I reckon I could easily hit 40mpg if I drove everywhere normally.

It seems very variable for people and i'm sure people can't drive so much differently to get such variations.

Oh and there are bloody loads of threads on this ! it comes up every other week.

 

[Ben^]

drove from Leeds to Glasgow last week (251 miles) on a magic de restricted private road somewhere between 90 and 100mph for most of the way and used a full tank!! on more o less on red (44 miles left on comp) (31.2mpg i think was the average) Drove back dead on 70 all they way and used just over half a tank (42.8mpg) right foot makes all the differance!! I normally average 34 - 36mpg with varied driving.

 

[The Seer]

37 MPG @ 56 mph:

No assending or descending gradient.

Wind speed of 7 mph side on.

 

[cat171]

I've seen 30mpg in my v6 and 4mpg.

4mpg? Wow! I've never had it go below 20 yet lol, I can't be trying hard enough!

Mine usually sits around 20.5 (that's with a fair bit of right foot action) I did however get over 35 from it after filling it to the brim & re setting the thing on my way to a mk meet last year. I couldn't believe it.
