    Depends on fuel?
    Depends on engine?
    Depends on driving style?
    Depends on type of journey????

    You need to give more information

    Have you any speed holes in the car?

    They make it go faster.

    I find either petrol or diesel works better than putting money in a car myself, but each top their own.

    60 euro in small coins can also add some weight to a car.

    In my opinion it is about average for a car with that size engine and city driving.
    My wife drives a 1.2l Fiat 500, about 420km off a full tank costing about €40.
    I had a 1.2l Golf years ago and got about 650km off a full tank costing around €65
    So basing it on both of them, your car is very similar economically.

    What type of dog is it?

    Is it a really big Shih Tsu?

    Well I assumed it was diesel, which gave around 45 litres at €1.33/l, and for 611km would mean 7.38litres/100km.

    An efficient figure would be around 4l/100km

    But now I see your post saying it's petrol and city driving, in which case it would be reasonably good but not impressIve by any means. You're talking about 35mpg or something like that. I had a 2.8 litre petrol car that got about 15mpg or less around the city so you're doing better than that anyway.

    thankyou so much for giving me a straightforward answer

    60 euro of what, oranges? Slurry? 1 cent coins?


  • Registered Users Posts: 4,119 ✭✭✭Gravelly


    If you throw away the dog, break off the wing mirrors, tape up all the panel gaps with duct tape (use the windows to get in and out) and strip out the interior, you could get at least 10% better fuel efficiency. And you'd save on dog food.

    Assuming the tank's at the same level as when you topped it up and that you got about 45litres then you get about 7.3l/100km which won't be off the wall for short city journeys. Does the car not tell you your l/100km?

    Fairly standard nowadays. OP has a 181, so not beyond the bounds of possibility it has this now basic info.

    Few years ago I loaded with carbs and with a couple of rest breaks managed 200km. This links nicely to the username thread as it was the Wicklow 200 and I had number 666, which became the number of the Beasty....

    :pac:
