What MPG are you getting from your vehicle?

pudzey101 · 01-03-2020 3:27pm #1

What mpg are you getting ? This was a 3 hour drive this morning 90% motorway . It's a 04 Toyota Corolla 1.4 d4d I bought about 2 weeks ago as a run around. And so far its the best thing on juice I owned in the past 12 years

I can do the same in a AWD petrol

(Suzuki Ignis)

To be fair though, over a full tank I average between 5.2 - 5.4 l

Midnight_EG · 01-03-2020 3:40pm

I get about 360km to a tank in the Scooby, and it doesn't bother me one bit.

pudzey101 · 01-03-2020 3:44pm

Nice peasant, I know the feeling midnight used have a dc2 it' was some guzzler. Partners 08 1.5 petrol lancer is an animal on juice too it just drinks it

Hold me beer...

Honda Integra. Just over 50 Mpg in old money. To be fair that's motorway mileage, it gets about 35 Mpg overall mixed urban/rural.

Not bad for an integra. As I said I had a dc2 years ago , youd need the texaco garage behind u it was thirsty

fun though

Jaysus my DC2 used to do about 500km to the tank with mixed driving.

I had a heavy right foot and loved my vtec. So that would explain my situation with it lol

Parapara2017 · 01-03-2020 4:04pm

Last tank was 34mpg. Probably it's best. Worst was about 9mpg equalled about 80km from the tank :0

That 9 mpg journey must have been fun though ehhh:eek::pac:

industry accountant · 01-03-2020 4:31pm

I've gotten 1,000 miles to a tank out of my 99 b5 a4 1.9tdi a couple of times, driving like an absolute granny just to see could I do it.

62 litre tank in it, filled to the brim. Roughly 72.5mpg.

This was another time I got 967 miles to a tank

at9qu5vp0wcix7 · 01-03-2020 4:35pm

My record is 55mpg across an entire tank (700 miles from 57 litre tank). Driving a 2.0 diesel 3 series. I reckon I could get 60+ if I slowed down a bit.

The only proper way to find out is between fills and not the computer. I got 56 mph from a 1 litre Yaris petrol mostly motorway, that was checked after refilling.

pudzey101 · 01-03-2020 4:43pm

Nice lads keep it up , interesting to know everyone mpg and what their getting from their vehicles

I know I'm getting old when I'm worrying about mpg over speed and fun. But I suppose thats what my k3 1000 is for lol

pudzey101 · 01-03-2020 4:44pm

Also I reset the mpg clock before I started my journey

What is that app? Thanks.

Low 40's with a mixture of city driving and some spirited motorway driving.

Get mid 50's for sensible motorway driving.

Other poster is correct FK8 Civic Type R.

9mpg was a track day morning ðŸ˜‚ can very easily get into the teens on the roads though. Current tank is over 12L/100km

It's called Fuelio, I'm android, not sure if there is an Apple version. Can track maintenance costs too but I just use it for fuel. I do 1,000 miles per week and have been using the app for a couple of years.

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 37 years old, I grew up using mpg and I prefer it. I could probably calculate either version in my head while you were still trying to work it out on a calculator

I'm almost 29.

l/100km is more logical.

You have little to be worrying about if someone elses method of measuring their fuel consumption bothers you.

Of course, we are driving in Km and Km/h and buying fuel in litres.

People on the road longer than 11 or 12 years still use mpg as a yard(0.914m)stick of fuel economy. Doesn’t make them simpletons.

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.

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!

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 · 01-03-2020 7:03pm

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.

skodacb · 01-03-2020 7:40pm

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.

110bhp or 90bhp?
