Victor Meldrew

30.7mpg out of a ED 2011 318i. gridlock mostly. This is according to the dash.

I used to measure this obsessively in my old car, but when I realised I was getting in the high 20's I stopped as it was depressing.

I turn off the MPG display on the BMW....

2011 Skoda Fabia RS 180bhp 7sp DSG - 35mpg calculated average since I bought the car 2 years ago (mostly used for short drives). Have done a few country runs over the last few weeks which have returned a calculated 40mpg (includes a good bit of overtaking and some urban driving during the week).

2013 Astra GTC 2.0 CDTI 165
Averaging just under 44mpg at the moment, 40% N Roads, 40% Motorway, 20% Urban. Only 5.5k on it so expecting it to go up slightly as the engine loosens up. Best from a single tank so far has been 47.5 mpg, worst 39mpg although I strongly suspect that figure had something to do with a faulty pump at the garage. Always have the air con on icy cold.

Urban driving, air con and the 19s arent helping matters. From reading around the engines in it take some time to give their best it seems.

This will be a no-Prius zone forever:p

How're you finding 19s on the roads?

I have an interest in this lately myself.

Honda civic 2006 ep1 (old shape) 1.4l

I took some tips off an American hypermiler website called cleanmpg.com and have gone from 7.9 l/100km (36mpg) to 4.9 l/100km (58mpg).

All i changed was driving habits, i don't go over 100kph unless necessary, i go 80kph mostly, pumped tyres to maximum sidewall px, treat accelerator like an egg. Lots more small things all on that website.

Just to clarify im not driving like a granny with lines of cars behind me, its just anticipating better. Since i started doing this its actually incredible the amount of people who speed and get pissed off behind people who do the speed limit. not on a high horse or anything i used to constantly break the limit and get angry with 'slow' drivers.

Forgot to say its approx 60% urban and 40% motorway. Also im not relying on the trip computer mpg reading i fill the near empty tank and divide in km's....

Now that's what I call experience. Once you've seen the light, you'll never go back to ego / road rage driving again. Put Bob Marley on the stero and chill baby. Watch all the clowns around you in their stress cages, driving up close, bumper to bumper, getting more and more stressed every day about thinking they own the stretch of road in front of them, in the wacky races contest that only exists in their stressed out head.

No issues. It can be a little firmer at low speeds but I've had a lot less comfortable cars on 17s. Profile is still high enough (235/45) and I do tend to avoid bad roads and potholes to be safe.

Arah sure if you convert to lpg (most people) would have to travel ages to fill up. Not a viable option for 90% of us

How are you calculating that? 50 around town is a high figure.

Say nothing about the gas, the civil servants will come up with some plan to tax it more , and health and safety will get involved and make sure you need a certificate of competence to fill your car , and the NRA will try out law it or put conditions on your licence to drive a LPG vehicle, and the nct will need compliance certificates before they test your car, not to mention the type approval and insurance complications in that " has your car been modified in any way " . Man we need keep quiet about the gas !
