What MPG are you getting from your vehicle?

As an aside, you’d have to be driving a Corolla very handy to get that mpg. They prefer lower speeds. Fair play.

Does the overall length of the journey affect fuel consumption?

I though it was moreso speed, ie, motorway versus urban driving

Yes that's what I mean really. A short journey of around 20 miles at around the same speed gives me less mpg than a longer more varied journey.

Why are people using mpg? We're a metric country.
The last bits of automotive imperialism were abolished in 2005 and some simpletons are still holding onto them.

I'm sure when you go to the pub you ask them for 568.261 mls of your favourite beer instead of a pint, or when you're telling the shop your jean size you tell them you've got a 81.28 cm as opposed to a 32 inch waist:)?

FYI car wheel sizes are still measured in inches everywhere in the world. BMW actually tried to bring in metric sized wheels in the 80s and quickly abandoned it, and nobody has bothered since.

That's normal, car engines use more fuel when cold, the first few miles will be with a cold engine when consumption is higher. It's worse if the engine is large, because they take much longer to warm up than smaller engines so not only are you suffering from increased fuel consumption for buying a big engine, you also have more time with the engine not being fully warmed up (on the flip side, they also stay warmer for much longer than a small engine, the temperature gauge on a small three cylinder engine could be completely cold after 90 minutes, a six or eight cylinder engine might not go back to cold for over four hours, so in that situation the larger engine is actually going to use relatively less fuel and of course it's saving a lot of engine wear because the warm up process does not have to be repeated as often as it does in a smaller engine with fewer cylinders).

My engine is a 3 litre diesel. Iv an X5 40d so my mpg isn't too bad I guess.

Diesels are worse again than petrols for the time it takes to warm up (it's also one of the reasons they are more efficient). Nice car though, and good to get one with a proper engine with a bit of oomph in it!

4.9l/100km on average. 181 Volkswagen Golf 1.6 diesel Highline.

Is that the 1.3? They're supposed to be unbelievable on diesel. I'm getting 5.5 average over 22,000 km 191 2 litre superb.

Lundstram

50mpg 12 2.0 TDCI Mondeo. About 800 miles from a full 75 litre tank.

I put in some Redex on my last fill and it went down dramatically, only got about 720 miles from a full tank.

17 Octavia vRS diesel. 26,000 miles on the clock.

50mpg at 75-80mph on the motorways.

35-37mpg when driving in town.

The lowest I've gotten her is 22mpg on the autobahn.

Irish Steve

2011 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, 1.6 HDI EGS semi automatic gearbox, had it for nearly 2 years now, does a real mix of local and long distance trips, and it's averaging 6.2L/100Km, which for a fairly large vehicle is not too bad. Got it for silly money out of the UK, the VRT was more than the car and going over with a trailer to get it, it needed a clutch, and so far, I can't complain, the only thing that's upset me in close on 2 years was an injector failure a few weeks ago.

Adblue is an exhaust additive not a fuel additive though?

Pretty much the same on the motorway but add about 5mpg to the town driving.

Sweet spot for mpg is around 80km/h. Dramatically goes up if you change 130 for 110

Skylinehead

23 mpg or 10.2l/100km.

Are you putting adblue directly into the fuel? That mental. Mpg figures are typical Toyota. The family avensis is showing LTA of 8.2L/100. 142 2 litre diesel. She doesn't mind the odd drop of Paddy's Day diesel occasionally...

AdBlue is consumed as you drive

It won't go without and it's not free either

I need Diesel and Adblue for moition so to exclude
AdBlue and it's cost would skew running cost
