Whats your MPG?

Max Power1

26.7 mpg

Mostly town driving, 2002 MG ZR 1.4 105

Cliona99

My car is depressing...six miles per litre of petrol.
Which is 9.6km per litre...so...10.4l/100km? I'm ashamed of how long it took me to work that out.

dbrunson

99 xantia t/diesel, 121k on the clock cost to fill at the minute from rock bottom is 110 euro and it does 850 miles, bought it for a 1000 2 yrs ago, and have so far spent 56euro on 2 x oil changes and 110 on two tyres. Totally reliable, bangernomics rocks.

TGi666

03 mondeo 2.0tdci, mostly motorway 500-600miles a week im averaging out about 53mpg but having a overcooling issue so hopefully more when that's fixed

Cheensbo

94 Surf,

Average 27.22mpg/ 10.40l/100km / over 44 fills since 26 oct 12, covering just over 12k miles.

Not bad imo, considering its a 3lt dinosaur engine in an un-aerodynamic block that weighs probably 2 tonnes.

I apply the same method each time - fill, note distance covered, reset, repeat.

Replaced the Golf?

Did some testing today on the motorway with VAG com logging ECU data while I drove. Averaged 3.48L/100km (about 81MPG) at an average of 100kph (actual) for 30mins.
At 120kph this went up to 6.38L/100km which was a good bit higher than I expected and a real eye opener tbh - 83% higher fuel consumption!
Granted I only managed 5-6 mins of logs at 120kph.

Temporarily, till she was fixed. The golf became very averse to cold starts

I take it everyone knows how to work out their mpg /l/100km properly?
Also, if wheels tyres are other than standard, this will mitigate the results as the speedo's are wrong.

Must be a rare enough car for Ireland. 81mpg, very good though

Red Kev

2001 Saab 9-3 auto. Exactly 9.0 l/100km (31.5 mpg) over the past 18,000 km.

About 30% was a commute in Dublin, 60% fast motorway and N roads, 10% secondary and minor roads.

Lumpy Custard 123

Bang on 34mpg - 80% town, 20% motorway (if that).

She's a '93 BMW E36 318i - no oversized wheels or performance tuning, though a bit more power would be nice!

20yrs old now and still running like a clock, not an ounce of trouble

cada

Golf tdi 150bhp 02 - 45mpg mixed driving. 55mpg long journeys.

Integra DC2 - 30mpg mixed driving.

Yes rare enough, it was never sold here, I imported it from the UK.
Have only very rarely exceeded 80mpg on a tank though as normally do a lot of motorway driving. The "3L" 1.2TDI version is good for 100mpg but they cost a lot more to buy and are rare even in the UK.
Other alternatives would be the 1.4TDI Lupo / Arosa which is a more modern engine and is also fitted to the Audi A2.

Wasn't there a super duper Audi a2 a few years ago that was good to nearly 100mpg.... (may have been a concept/test model)

It is the A2 3L 1.2 TDi. It was in production years ago. Never for sale in Ireland. Not sure about the UK, but probably same as here.

AUDI S4 22.2mpg :eek: Motorway 90%

MSVforever

Honda Civic 1.4s EP1, 2001, 90 bhp

Dublin city driving = 11-13 l/100 km
Mixed Driving = 10l/100 km
Motorway Driving = 7.5-9.5l/100 km

It's far off from the offical fuel consumption figures from Honda

Has anyone else similar experience with Civic EP1?

Poor guy!

Funny that I am suprised in the opposite direction. My old 1995 Corolla 1.3 petrol gets 5.6L/100km (~50mpg) on average.

Thats 70% N roads, 10% motorway and 20% urban

Does anyone with a similiar car get that good economy?

The official economy for my car is 6.9L/100km

Is this a freak thing

Yeah - very same road conditions and my Honda Civic 1.5 1997 does similar mpg - about 5.8 l/100km and slightly better when I drive (currently 80% of the mileage is in the hands on my OH).

Assuming petrol is €1.60, thats the equivalent of 49mpg.

Show me a diesel that could do that many smiles per gallon

shinkansen

looked at receipts from petrol, average about £75/80~ a fill, getting 23/24mpg city driving or so.

not great but over long runs its much better, i have notions of getting a Honda legend, 3.5 liters of Honda goodness but the economy will be much worse and it looks suicidal, plus if i got one i would never be able to sell on.
