Hi all,

Was just wondering what sort of fuel comsumption you guys are getting and what i can expect in mixed driving, motorway etc?

And before anyone says it, i know i know, if i have to ask, i can't afford it........lol

I hope no one answers! You would never drive it if you thought too much about it!

But for the record I get 172 mpg......

Cornish that's brilliant, mine is MUCH worse than that. Are you using a spinnaker?

yeah, I get 19mpg pretty much all the time, whether spanking it or just taking it steady. I do find that motorway consumption is better at 90 than at 70 - not sure why but on a 200 mile trip to manchester I went there very slowly, sticking to 70, no air con on and driving really gently - 19mpg, then on the way back drove like I normally do (bit fast!) and got 19.5 mpg....go figure.

With an engine and gearbox remap and driving sensibly upto 90 ish I can get 30/31mpg. Normally it is high 20's due to always doing motorway miles and using Tip all the time.

high 20s on motorway fast cruising - 85 to 90mph.

18-20 on the school runs.

4 tanks per trackday.

ha you should all be really happy, im getting about 11mpg if im lucky, no motorways and always up a hill!

I do tend to tank it about tho lol

yep, on motorways, use cruise at bout 70mph to get around 30mpg - which is bl**dy good for 450bhp !

for every other type of driving you soon wont care once you have THAT power & THAT sound

Depends where you live, city centre then a 1.6 petrol will average 20MPG

Buying this type of car based on MPG is pointless, you might as well buy a Prius.

Most people report an average of 20mpg

My average is 16.7 (going by the computer).

I found that you can't actually try to drive the car economically - whenever I've tried using the real-time mpg thing it is depressing! I just drive it how I like and it seems to actually even out.

I'd make one change to the OP comment, it should be "if you care about it then you can't afford it!"

16.4 for the record

I can 'hypermile' for all of 5 mins and then have to give it a blast

Post by **MoRS6+** » Thu Mar 12, 2009 3:25 pm

My current average is 16.8mpg but that is with virtually no motorway driving at all. I fill up the tank (costs approx. 70-75 quid) and that will last me a surprisingly long time as I'm not doing that many miles.
