Us petrol heads are obessed with speed any mpg over 50 is a bonus!

I havent really ever looked into what mpg i do until recently to be honest and it doesnt bother me that much! I mean i know that my car uses petrol quickly as its a fast car and thats just the way it is

Saying that now i have been looking at it i have noticed i have got 34mpg on average and if i can get 40mpg then thats good

I doubt i will get 50+mpg as i dont have the patience to sit at 47mph on a motorway

78.9 MPG over 25 miles almost all at 45mph with 5 overtakes chucked in to maintain my magical 45! Its always funny overtaking using cruise control

54.2!!!!!! there is no way on gods earth my car would ever come close to doing that. Best I've ever got on a run trying to stick at 60-70 is 39mpg. I've never averaged over 40 no matter what speed I've stuck to so I'm amazed how you've managed it. You sure you don't have a 1.1 under the bonnet?

I tend to average 34mpg on a motorway run sticking between 70-80 and 60 on A roads. Road town or short journeys I'm lucky to break 30, usually comes in around 28.

Can I ask how much fuel you used and the distance you travelled?

I wonder if he was moving?

I know!! I'm not doubting his claims, well actually I am cos I'm sure it's not physically possible for my car to get anywhere near that figure

How many miles do you normally get per tank? What petrol do you normally use?

My average is 33mpg on IHI'd ibiza on motorway everyday to go to work. On long trip could probably get it to about 36mpg

Say I put £45 in to fill it I'd get around 350 miles on a run using either Optimax or BP Ultimate. Find I get best MPG on Optimax but can't allways get it so drop onto Ultimate or if I'm feeling tight Sainsburys super.

I never run it on normal 95 ron unleaded

it was 165 miles home from surry and i think i usedc around £14 in fuel i think

 

[gazjones]

and no its not a 1.1 lol iof it is its a pretty fast 1.1 lol

 

[gazjones]

i looked today at my average mgp on the second listings and over 60 hours of driving its at 36 mpg over about 1k and i always let it cool down and warm up before driving so must be few hours on there for tick over before and after a jurney!

 

[CupraTgirl]

Why 3 posts Gaz about the same thing?

How was it only £14?

 

[gazjones]

165 miles at 54 mpg is about 3 gallons, 4.5 lts to a gallon is 15.5 lts and just under £1 a lt is 14 quid
other postes were specifice to other posts but should have merged them all

 

[JKing]

15.5 litres used in 165 miles = 48.39mpg??

 

[gazjones]

15.5 litres used in 165 miles = 48.39mpg??

yes it does just worked it out properly and i used 13.7 lts of petrol so about 13-14 quid in fuel

I sit on the motorway at 70 on the cruise getting 40mpg a lot of the time, I do get frustrated at 1.1 festers overtaking

now I show them my right foot in the window as they go past and it makes me feel beter....
