fuel consumption

Post by 10biscuits » Wed Dec 16, 2020 6:04 pm

It's ironic that having got rid of the snap bang pops because of European legislation my fuel consumption is lousy compared with my C7 Perf,
I struggle to get 25 mpg and I 'm not ragging it,---I've discovered predictive cruise control -- I regularly got 30mpg + with the C7.
One little snippet,if you switch the wing mirror control knob to the passenger side mirror,if you select reverse the mirror auto adjusts down to view the kerbs,wish I had known this from day 1 !!!!

Travelled up the M6 today at no more than 70 mph due to variable speed limits etc and got 29.7 mpg. Happy with that.

Strange, I find the MPG on these much better than the C7. The little vibration on the pedal does help sometimes highlight how <beep> my driving really is!

I can only wish I was in my old C7 or in a C8 - Managed 34.5mpg on a run in the C7. Around town was 24mpg.

My current average MPG is 14.6!!!!! Even on a run with Miss Daisy in the back, can't get it above 17.5mpg, thats with the A/C off!!

Now on first name terms with the nice ladies in Tesco petrol station :)
