Fuel economy

[mj88fr]

hi guys,

just wondered what MPG you all get from your cars??

wanted to see how all the different models compare from actual usage and not just the official figures!

cheers

[EB20VT]

Ibiza Cupra 20VT averaging 28-29 mpg.

A decent run can see it in the 40's.

 

[badleeroy]

Ibiza Cupra TDi averaging between 37-40 round town serious stop starting, 50-55 on a motorway run

 

[s3tony]

214 miles old fr tdi so far 54mpg, not had much of a play yet!!!!

 

[Hudson]

sport 1.4 average 27mpg 250 to a tank (so says trip computer-i'm guessing less)
one reason i'm thinking of getting rid.

 

[RichieRich]

my 07 sport averages around 40 mpg's but only really short journy trips so far and going above 3 digits most journeys which i have to stop doing lol mind u i had some pedal left at 120 ummmm

your driving it like i used to! lol i got rid and im driving even harder now and higher speeds umm i gotta start slowing down lol but cant i love the smile the car gives me when i hear the turbo..

 

[unitzero]

your driving it like i used to!

Right foot to the floor and dont change gear till at least 4000/5000 revs?

Thats the only way with a 1.4 isn't it?

 

[RichieRich]

yup somthink like that unitzero! and sometimes holding it just abouve 4 k to get up hills as the next gear it would just die lol, i tried not to go to 5k but i did once or twice, the torque band ends around 4's, have u got a k&n or anyother mods like it? i have one for sale if not

 

[unitzero]

Really trying not to mod it at all as i need a bigger car in the near future.
see my other thread :http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=129675
Once i get a bigger car with a bigger engine i'll start with the coilovers and panel filters perhaps even a remap

Even though i just do short journeys mostly i still reckon i'm going TDI as the fuel economy <i>must</i> be better than mine! Plus there is the torque and overtaking power of the diesel.

The Ibiza sport was the best spec i could get brand new but after looking at the depreciation and the fuel consumption i'm going second hand and Diesel next time!

1.8 20ct Fr Getting about 200 to a tank 150 if i put me toe down, 250 motorway

 

[chillcupra]

Got 51.6mpg cruisng at 80 on the motorway the other day. Thats the best I have had so far.

 

[danmay]

i only get about 30 - 35 mpg round town in mine, don't do much motorway driving it's all twisties!

 

[keefy]

I drive mainly on A-roads and motorways and commute 520 miles/week. In the winter I was getting around 55mpg, but it was beginning to creep up to an average of about 59mpg as the weather got warmer.

Changed my tyres a couple of weeks ago (Marangoni Zeta Linea's) and it seems to have droped a bit; probably a bit higher rolling resistance.

130 Sport, by the way.

 

[zippyprorider]

1.8t fr ibiza

(getting better the more it beds in!)

 

[ChrisBowe82]

FR 1.8t
20-30 mpg round the 'hood
35-37 on the m/way
250 miles to full tank (according to trip comp)

only done 800 miles though so far, so will probs go higher (please go higher please.......)

 

[Ad Lav]

Ibiza 130 (not - shhh!) sport, averaging anything from 40-56mpg, 300-470 miles per tank.

Last tank was worked out at 55mpg, m-way, A roads and town work.

 

[mexicorich]

02 plate 130 Sport

Rarely drops below 40mpg unless sustained use at more than 100mph

But was real struggle to get past 50mpg
Now in summer if I don't exceed 68 mph I can get high 50s mpg
Was a surprise to discover that i get better fuel consumption in summer

 

[Guinness]

I get about 40 if Im lucky but that is a 1.2 and I do drive hard. Anyway u probably didnt want 2 know about a 1.2 but I felt left out
