What MPG are you getting from your vehicle?

SeanaciousD · 07-04-2020 05:28PM

2016 BMW 330e PHEV

Stage 1 remap to ~350hp

Eating a little more fuel than usual as I only recently got the remap (just before the lockdown, and I was testing it out

) and I'm not doing my daily commute for the time being, which was all electric. My true average which showed around the 2k km mark was exactly 15kWh/100km and 3L/100km (94mpg) Pretty high on the energy consumption side, but most of my daily commute is done at 100-120km/h

I usually get half my electrons for free at work so if you crunch the numbers it costs me a little bit less to run than it did my 2L diesel Astra which got 5.6l/100km.

I've gotten 10L/100km from the RX8 - once. Driving at midnight, from a hot-start with a following wind on the motorway.

11-13L/100km are more normal on the same journey.

20-22L/100km are more normal around town.

I'd say if you measured the fuel it actually burned - it'd be half that. You could probably condense the exhaust and get a ****ton of petrol back. The smell is utterly eye-watering. The exhausts are jet-black with carbon. Fire comes out the back at high RPM.

1.27 petrol is a dream. The lockdown is the nightmare.

Litres per 100km? What is that in miles per engine re-build? :pac:

You may laugh, but it's been the most reliable car I've ever own.

It's had an engine swap - but the only time it ever actually quit was when the battery let the smoke out and it didn't even crank is just sort of boiled.

Which of course led to some gloating from an electric car owning relative - who apparently never has to worry about a battery fault.

Passed 100k

12.0 L per 100km plus 5% for AdBlue ~12.6L per 100km
or
22.4mpg

191 Toyota Land Cruiser

I get mad if I get above 3.7 on average and can get down to 3.1 on very long journeys (with passengers).
Will be changing shortly to an EV, already drive like I have one.

Polo TDI bluemotion

Golf 1.0 TSI 110hp DSG, 6.78L average a tank over 32,400km so far.

6.71L/100km over 41,000km. I no longer need to drive for food shopping each week so this should come down a little bit. I also moved house 6 months ago and my commute is marginally better on fuel.

Averaging 47mpg, 50/50 driving, Superb 2.0tdi 190 DSG.

GustavoFring · 09-11-2020 10:14AM

31 to the gallon, 2016 Leon Cupra. Not stop start.

Best was 34 to the gallon on a 700km spin. It will just as easily go down into the teens.

2012 Toyota Auris Hybrid: Averaging between 52 and 56MPG (4.5 to 4.2l/100km) on my usual driving. Normally includes trips for grocery shopping, visiting elderly parents and that is pretty much it at the moment. On a long run to Galway (which was done every 2 weeks before the Pandemic), I was averaging 50MPG (4.7l/100km).
I'm pretty happy with that considering I came from a 2004 Volvo S60 2.0T (remapped to 220bhp) which was struggling to get over 28MPG (8.4l/100km) and costing €120 to fill the tank... It was a very comfortable beast though

frozenfrozen · 09-11-2020 11:23AM

F30 335d 40mpg but I only do very long journeys and no traffic

Cee-Jay-Cee · 09-11-2020 11:32AM

I’ve 3 cars so these are the figures for each:

Daily driver; 2010 Mazda 6 2.0 petrol - 32mpg on short runs and 40-42mpg on longer runs.

Winter car: 2006 Subaru Impreza 2.0RX - 30mpg on short runs and close to 40mpg on long runs

Weekend car: 1996 Integra Type R - couldn’t be bothered checking as it spends most of the time in a garage but it’s not too hard to run if driven easy. I’ve seen 36mpg on longer drives but when driven hard can be as low as 12-15mpg.

Eleven Benevolent Elephants · 09-11-2020 11:58AM

5 or 6 l per 100 km

Those calculations are using US gallons, if you are this side of the pond it will be as follows

(4.7l/100km = 60mpg

4.5-4.2 = 62.7 -67.2 mpg

I neglected to read the "small print" on the online calculator I used

:D:D

The MPG figures are correct though.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta 1.6 JTDM-2

A real mix of driving, from slow town-based stuff, to motorway runs. Returns a consistent 47-50MPG.

It that from the display? How many km to the tank are you getting? I don’t think Honda even claimed the insight could be that economical it isn’t even a proper hybrid.

Yes, and actually my 2010 one was getting up to 72mpg ( rarely) but always getting 65 , my newer one is heavier with the extras and a little more oomph so getting less, and your wrong ref Hondas claimed mpg ,
Insight central is where you’ll get all your actual figures ie real driving not a lab

Insight is a hybrid ffs unless I imagined my 2

Averaging 52mpg, mixture of driving, mainly city centre or motorway.
Octavia 2.0 TDI
I know I probably could get better but life’s too short.

Sweet spot is N roads doing around 80kmph.

TBH I drive like a granny rarely over 90 km per hour

Tommyboy40 · 09-11-2020 09:23PM

14mpg in town and up to 32 on a motorway run. Mercedes CL500

Very similar to what I'm getting from the superb.

A little less of the cursing if you don't mind, and yes you are imagining it if you think the insight is a proper hybrid. It has a puny motor between the engine and gearbox it's more a mild toy hybrid, duke had, maybe still has one and he was disappointed with the fuel economy You still didn't tell me what km it gets from a full tank etc.

Yes, I’ve often heard of bigger cars with the same engine getting better mpg.

I’m putting it down to driver but even when trying I can’t get 70mpg for example.

I’m still happy though as it’s well over 30% more efficient than my petrol Civic was on the same driving - plus the fuel is approx 8% cheaper, and the tax is 30% the cost of the Civic.

I can get 60+ from the Superb on my work commute, M1 and M50, during the summer it’s pushing 65mpg.

What MPG are you getting from your vehicle?
