Whats your MPG??

[Els]

This is really putting my mind at rest.... ace

 

[Justin182]

Driving at 135 will usually give better mpg then some garage chav taken it for a 'test drive' because at 135 your covering distance so quick and so better "miles" per gallon, rather then flying up and down the revs stop start etc lol Strange that really lol

 

[JR]

getting 36mpg average at the mo.

 

[Els]

the higher the gear the lower the fuel consumption, so suppose you can drive at 100+ ans still get pretty good fuel consumption

 

[Day]

Anything over that 35mpg then you really shouldn't own a hot hatch

 

[Els]

LOL, i do like me hot hatches, thats why im going back from the scooby, had 3 hot hatches b4 the scoob so now im goin back again... he he

 

[Justin182]

Yeah... do like hot hatches for their mpg.

Was driving a 4.6 v8 X5 the other day and never once floored it (shame on me !!) and when i reset it, i was averaging 16 mpg on a slow trip in town lol.... i could thrash the living shight out the 182 and never see anything like that lol

 

[Els]

LMAO!!! like i said in the first post, 17mpg out of my scooby on motorways, who know what it is in town

 

[Justin182]

haha... yeah, you must have been running some serious mods to get that. The x5 averages 22 at 60 on the Mway !!

 

[Els]

aye its running at 285bhp.

 

[Alan]

26-36 depending on driving style and road conditions..

 

[Martin_172]

i dont have a trip computer but i know somethings up with the car because dont think i should only be getting 260-270 miles to a full tank, anyone care to work out how many mpg that is?

 

[UncleGrumpy]

25.1mpg at the moment

all the worlds a race-track

 

[Justin182]

23.6 - 24.5 mpg

Rather low for a 1.2

Maybe my maths is wrong?

 

[Justin182]

Hang on a minute.... you dont have a mpg computer. I thought all mk 2 ph2 had them, no?

 

[davejm123]

182, full fat but has both cup packs....! i'm getting about 32mpg. with a bit of motorway and some ragging about town!

 

[Chadwick]

between 27 and 42mpg for me on the last 10 tanks.... 42 when i drive with the air filter on and when im skint! 27-usually

 

[Pep]

my 1.2 gets about 33-35mpg, but a fair bit of that is in traffic, so bound to be pretty bad!

also, i like to give it a bit of right foot to the speed limit!

 

[Racingblue182]

33.9 mine usually reads

Pushing a Clio through the air at 135mph at c. 7000rpm will not return better mpg than cruising at 80mph at c. 4000rpm. Surely Shirley?

Although I think I misread you slightly...still not sure about that though 135mph vs. ragging around town?

 

[LegoHead]

my best is 51mpg, average speed 57mph. But it's boring.


and justin....135mph will be pretty much at peak horse power, therefore using more power, which is energy over time.

stopping and starting, revving up and down, hitting peak power less often would surely be more economical.

 

[keben6]

My computer reads 35 but that's just gotta be bollox!!!!!?

My old 172 ph2 averaged about 40/45 mpg (with standard air filter).

My new 182 seems to average about 31mpg, but it is far more responsive.

 

[ifigureditout]

Its not at the lights its just I tend to use 4th on the A1.

More power that way.

My 1.2 screams at me enough at 70 in 5th so wouldnt like to be in yours on a long journey in 4th on the motorway!

lol you must not worry about economy i'm guessing.

22mpg, shocking from a 1.2

happy with my 35mpg
