    Do you correct those who post l/100km? I don't think you do.


    Do you measure everything in imperial? :rolleyes:

    It’s like apples and oranges being argued and then you come along with your ham sandwich saying it’s also a type of fruit.

    46MPG (6.15L/100km or c. 7986.328 AA Duracells per hippy-mile) in my w204 merc, petrol and autobox.

    Long term avarage on a 141 A6 190bhp auto 2.0 tdi is just over 40mpg. Got it well into the 50s on motorway spins taking it handy. But if you push it on a bit it's just under 50.

    My car has gone from averaging 5.4l/100km consistently over three years to 6.2l/100km. The only thing I can think thats changed is I got 4 new tyres. Would they make that much of a difference? Gone from Michelin to Bridgestone. I would have thought that both were the standard type for Irish roads but not sure.

    Tyres do , but mostly its driving style,cvt boxes if not regularly oil changed your mpg suffers big time

    Take away the hippy sh1te, I'm no hippy. I've owned more single digit MPG vehicles than I have EVs :)

    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.

    Please help me buy a honda insight. Which dealer and what to check

    I'm less concerned now about MPG than I was last year due to changing both cars!

    My old Superb MKII combi averaged about 64mpg on Fuelly.

    Now my G20 330e has averaged 87mpg over 15,000km in the first year and the other car is a Leaf so filling stations are almost a distant memory.

    I reckon i've saved as much on take away coffee and crap as I have in fuel in the last 12 months

    How much has electricity cost for the 330e?
    How much has electricity cost for the leaf?

    Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 V8 Hemi. 20l/100km or 14mpg in old money. A waste of petrol, it's a washing machine.

    That isn't bad for one of them normally they're in single figures. Is it the economy engine that switches out 4 cylinders when cruising like the Chrysler has?

    the leaf cost about €18 on electricity last month for 867km.

    I don't really bother checking the 330e on electric costs ... but at about 19c per kwh costs about €2 to charge and I generally get about 40km on pure EV

    The decision to go PHEV / BEV isn't purely about fuel savings for me. The 330e is just a lovely car to drive and the leaf is the run about - replaced an old oil burner so would have been pointless to go down the ICE route for it

    That's the thing. Smiles to miles are low. It's an appliance.

    Golf GTE mk8, averaged 2.8l/100km (101mpg) over the 1000km I've driven it so far. My work commute of ~18km (10km rural & 8km urban) gets me about 1.8l/100km (156mpg). Did a 211km round trip yesterday from Cork to Bantry and averaged about 3.7l/100km, pretty good considering the battery was empty by the time I left Bantry.

    BMW 325D E90 - 39.7MPG coming up on the computer, its usually a bit better when I calculate it myself. Mostly long runs for me with a mix of motorway and national roads.

    My little 125cc bike was doing 2.2l/100km so a full size car doing 2.8 is quite incredible considering all the weight its pulling around.

    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.
