    BMW 330d 2002 dash display reads between 55-64mpg
    My own calculations works it out to be an average of 56 mpg


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,844 ✭✭✭Honey-ec


    Thanks to the 8c extra on petrol, combined with my 110 mile-per-day commute, I'm seriously considering changing into a diesel.

    1.4 06 Opel Tigra Twintop 90bhp
    45 litre tank
    670 km per tank on average
    MPG works out at about 46.

    I reckon I'd be breaking well over 50 if I didn't have to do so much 3rd gear overtaking.

    01 BMW 318 Ci

    I get about 300 miles per tank, tank is 60 litres so that works out at about 23mpg.:eek:

    It's a good thing I don't do much mileage

    Ford Focus 1.8 TDCI 2004
    600 - 650 miles per tank, so averages from 54 to 60 miles per gallon.

    23MPG from a 318i??? That cant be right dos30. I average between 27-30 MPG on my Mazda 3 MPS (2.3 turbo).


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 630 ✭✭✭Bulmers


    06 BMW 320d 1000kms on a tank, eur70 to fill

    Ya it is fairly bad, I filled it last week and I'm down to half a tank now with 120miles done(All Urban).

    I reset the trip when I last filled it, so I'll be back with an exact figure Monday.

    I had an integra before this and got between 30-35mpg out of that.

    I use a little over 10l/100kms on a long run, around 13-14 the rest of the time.

    1994 MR2 Turbo

    25-30mpg depending on mood.:)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 527 ✭✭✭joeperry


    I was recently commuting from dublin to dungarvan,waterford everyday.Not any more thankfully .A mixture of motorway,dual carraige way, A and B roads.

    I had to make my petrol last i was getting 550 miles between fill ups and when i'd go to fill up id get 65 litres into a 70 litre tank so i could've got 590miles i'd say.

    This worked out around 40mpg and thats from a 1998 manual petrol BMW 528i,i never went above 70mph only when overtaking and was always using the cruise control.

    This was exceptional for a big engined petrol car,im delighted i bought this car 4 years ago.this car will also do 0-60 in 6.8 secs,Everyone should buy one i think.

    Hope i never have to buy a diesel!!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,157 ✭✭✭✭Berty


    Audi A4 2006 1.9 TDi rempapped to 145BHP

    57-60MPG. Current prices around €80 to fill tank.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,484 ✭✭✭✭Stephen


    Honda Civic 1.8 petrol, 140bhp. I get about 38mpg with mixed open roads/town driving. I could probably squeeze a few more mpg out of it if I didn't want to have any fun with it.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,502 ✭✭✭Zube

    Well, if computers count, then the S-Max 2.0 diesel reports 6.9 l/100km, which is 40 mpg overall. The Kangoo, lets see, I have a receipt here for a weeks fuel, it's 38 litres or 8.35 gallons, and thats about 270 miles: 32 mpg from an 1150 cc petrol.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,157 ✭✭✭Johnny Utah


    E46 320 Cd, 150 bhp
    Around town, I average 32-35 mpg
    On a long trip, motorway driving, I can get about 60 mpg:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,618 ✭✭✭Heroditas


    2003 Audi A4 1.8T
    Getting about 450-460 miles to a tank. 65 litre tank.
    Mixture of city and motorway driving


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,017 ✭✭✭Bendihorse


    2004 (05 Build Spec) John Cooper S Works. 210bhp.
    31mpg with average driving in a mix of urban and suburban conditions. If i hockey it it can drop as low as 20mpg! About 350miles to a tank (thats what the computer says anyway)
    Its a good job it manages to put a smile on my face every time i drive it, thats all ill say.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 567 ✭✭✭stretchaq


    Audi A4 130bhp

    57MPG long communtes everyday to work helps to keep the figure high very little urban driving

    That's poor, my 1993 520i does around 28 mpg(it doesn't have a trip computer so I don't know exactly), and that includes tharashing down back roads at the 6,500 rpm.

    I'd say I get around 23-25 mpg in urban driving and if I'm sensible it'll do over 35 mpg in Motorway/Dual Carriageway driving.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,487 ✭✭✭alexmcred


    Golf Gt sport 1.4 140bhp. 10L/100Km according to trip computer around town on a long journey usually get 5.6 or 6L/100Kms. 55L tank usually put 46liters in every two weeks and that covers around 500Km's which is 10.8L/100Kms

    Are you driving in traffic all the time? I also have a 01 318ci and the computer says 31mpg which is about right, that would be mixed driving but I do drive quite fast so its not terrible consumption. On a long drive I would get better mileage although driving at 80mph+ on motorways does get rid of fuel quickly.

    Actually that really is bad mileage I got almost 300 miles out of just over half a tank on a long trip this week and I wasn't hanging around


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 343 ✭✭reb73


    60% motorway driving / 40% intra-city

    702 miles in a full tank (70 litres)

    Works out to about 45.6 mpg combined.. Can't complain!

    05 Mondeo tdci 130bhp - I get 52-53 mpg by calculating at every fill.

    Focus 1.6 TDCi remapped to 118bhp showing 4.8l/100km-5.2/100km. I seem to be getting around 1000kms from tank, depending on the fuel I fill with.

    Texaco/Esso :)seems to be best getting around late 900's in to 1000's, were as Emo/Topaz-Tesco/Applegreen/Top seems to get late 800's/early 900's.:(

    Either you have a very big tank or that car is wasted on you. Oh, and there's only one z in Impreza. ;)

    The best way to calculate your actual mpg is to brim the tank, reset the trip odometer, and when the car needs refueling, take note of the litres of fuel to refill.
    divide the km driven by the number of litres consumed, and theres your l/km reading.


    What type of driving do you do - urban, or long distance?
