However.. a little diesel is on the way

Re: Who need a Diesel.....

lol I regularly get 43mpg when driving for work. They can be very economical if you are gentle with them!!

 

[Waitey]

182 with no miles = £4.99

182 with normal miles = £4.50


Use it woman

My first 15 mins is country roads, winding through villages

Then i do around 40 mins on main roads... doing an even 50 (getting stuck in long queues of moving traffic) then through Banbury (so town driving) and the last 5 mins on a fast stretch of 60 road

Pay the difference on running cost and I'll drive a petrol with happyness. Otherwise I'll go on holidays and enjoy my life instead of paying unnesssesary for running costs.


Bubbles I had been getting 70mpg reciently its made a severe drop recinetly though to 64mpg due to some higher speed motorway miles.

I get free diesel but still drive a petrol car. Unless someone gives me a remapped 535d!

LOL!

 

[Ian_182]

Do you even think you would be close to a standard 535d in your tweenie shoe waitey?

[mw51/bl172]

i got my 172 up to 43mpg from tring to hemel the other day . ps dont knock the diesel my misses 120d 1 series is quick (surpriseingly)

 

[Leeshez]

I have had this.

But this week i had 42.6 so put that in your pipe.

 

[al]

But driving a DCi80 that carefully would probably get you 70+ mpg

 

[Dash]

Lol. GHEY!!! try 15 in the vee

Must try harder.

 

[Ryan]

Im lucky if I see 30mpg in the Coupe when im taking it easy! What am I doing wrong?

 

[Tom]

Pah, 40mpg in a 182.

Terrible use of such a car.

34mpg for me, cars like that are meant to be driven.

 

[Steve2004]

40mpg is nothing, can get over 10mpg more than that if you try.

'Spirited' driving only gets about 30mpg though. lol

 

[JayR]

^^^Iv seen that kinda comment loads on here and i would like to know the deffinition of 'driven'!?

I drive pretty tamely in built up areas, am in 5th gear by 30/40mph but when i get to duals/a roads its time for beans, i mean 7k stuff but im still averaging a good 36/38 mpg.

Would you class this a 'driven correctly' or am i missing something here!? Lol

 

[Tom]

I mean not watching the MPG meter all the time.

Just drive it normally.

Plus that readout is so so out its not true!
For example; my car currently says 36.2 average.
But ive done 320miles on 10 gallons (the clio has an 11 gallon tank, or 10.99)
which obviously equates to 32mpg.

 

[tommyboy]

Lol. GHEY!!! try 15 in the vee

lol! I'm averaging 17 in the LCR around town at the mo!

Hit 39mpg on a daytrip to Nottingham last saturday, 166 miles and back, pure M1 boredom, apart from owning a few minors trying it!

 

[Mike_182]

You see that's all good and well... But I do 100 miles a day with fairly spirited driving in my GT and get 50mpg... And when I'm nice to it I can see as good as 70mpg.

You have to have strong winds and the engine turned off to do that in a 182...

 

[GinandGasoline]

agree that you don't buy a 1*2 for fuel economy... but when needs must it can be quite frugal

with the arrival of a diesel it's not likely we'll be seeing such how mpg again for a bit

 

[R20 CWH]

done about 600 miles in mine this week, got 40.2mpg average

 

[R20 CWH]

oh and on the subject, test the 175 dci meggy - actually quite good.

 

[172blue]

Well said that man.

 

[cliobritt]

mine never even sees A roads!
28.9 MPG

 

[DrR]

I've had mine on 44MPG, but got fed up of driving at 57ish mph.

 

[huckin18]

driving back from somerset after buying my 172ff (my dad drving im not insured for a couple of weeks misjudged my driving for a year status..)
was getting 44mpg+ and was crusing at a decent speed.... no doubt i will see about 30mpg as i have a heavier right foot...
