But you don't have to charge a battery on your bike to get 2.2, you are measuring actual petrol burned. The car is 2.8 plus the electricity used to get this figure.

1 litre of petrol has 11kWh of energy - this is how they measure MPGe - so it's quite easy to work out the full amount of mpg+mpge, to take into account the electricity used.


Let's say to do 100km, the phev used 2.8 litres of fuel and 11kWh of electricity. Thats the equivalent of 3.8l/100km

mikeecho

BMW F10 520d.
Between 1000 & 1300km per 70L tank.
That's 40 to 52mpg

antodeco

60l tank and I get around 130miles, so less than 200kms!

Another car depending how I drive, a full tank (25l) will be halted driving from Liffey Valley to Dundrum

Jaysus Anto, what are you driving, the Queen Mary?

What's that, 10mpg?

jordan191

Around 75kwh, so at 7.6c/kwh
Equates to €5.70 for 450 kms

Yes, over the same distance I averaged 11.9kWh/100km so ~119kWh of electricity used. That would cost roughly €20 at my current rate (would be half that if I switched to a night rate).

Plus the original €30 of petrol I put in the day I got the car. That's €50 for 1000km.

My previous Golf, a 1.2tsi was averaging 6.6l/100km or about €100 for every 1000km. So I've about halved the running expenses.

Ah it's one of the minis. Joys of a full stage 4 rally head...!

The "better" mpg is the Z3. It's more driving style that has the mpg at that...

05 1L 5dr corsa.....50+mpg

Thanks for the accurate figures, my Superb 2 litre diesel is averaging 5.0/100 measured accurately from fill to fill costing €66 for 1000km which I'm very happy with.

3.7l/100 - 3 series f30 in ECO mode, comfort mode usually gives around 4.3l/100

I got 4.0/100 once from the Superb.

TrailerBob

Landcruiser has consistently averaged between 29-31 mpg in the 12 years I've had it. Not bad for a 2 ton brick shaped object. Kuga gets 43mpg. Rav4 gets 46mpg. Iveco bus gets 16mpg... a rather larger brick shaped object..

If you want l/100km ask a non luddite

If it makes you feel any better, my swift does about 11.8l-12.6l/100km. It did 7 on my way to Galway last year at eh, speeds. That was nice.

Mine says 7 when it's on its way to 12.8 :pac:

I moved in to a 318d Sport Auto at the start of February. Just over 6,500km on the clock and overall average is down to 4.8l/100km (59mpg)

Had to stop for fuel yesterday morning - 36km left to empty according to the OBC, and 1089km since last fill.

Nearly all driving in Eco Mode and that makes a decent difference - this was from the first tank



I think it got up to 165km of "fuel saved by driving in eco" while driving, but came down to 163km before I stopped and could take a picture.

Does eco mode make it slow?

What driving do you do predominantly? And if motorway what speed do you cruise at?

Cuts acceleration, but my journey is 42km of R-Road or Motorway and 2km of slow or start/stop (each way). Once you get on the R-Road or Motorway, it's all steady speed so slower acceleration isn't an issue.

You can still get a bit of a turn of pace by planting the right foot as well, without having to select Comfort or Sport.

colm_mcm

At constant motorway speed, does eco mode actually do much then?

frozenfrozen

one thing I notice it does is the air conditioning goes in bursts probably to save energy

colm_mcm

I think on my own yoke, it changes the power steering assistance, aircon and the throttle response. I'm sure on a BMW it does more clever stuff.

Turned it on by accident one day when i was cleaning the dash, had a mild panic attack next time I drove it, thought the turbo was gone.

The fuel economy BMW can get on relatively powerful cars is very impressive.

garv123

30 mpg on the summer shoes,
25 mpg on the winter shoes.

frozenfrozen

now I'm more used to the car I'm getting a minimum of 40mpg and up to 51/52mpg on longer journeys (trip computer indicated). Could probably get more by using eco mode and dropping down the motorway speed (I do gps 120) but very happy with it. Was getting 60mpg brim to brim in my superb before so not a bad drop in mpg for a lot more power

Cement mixer?

ongarite

530d, getting around 7l/100km or 40mpg.
I've moved home recently so journey to work is longer but its at steady pace & relatively straight roads.
Previous journey to work & local tips were much more stop start & was only getting 34mpg.

A/C in eco mode is well down , I drive in eco all the time
