im getting just over 60 mpg in my 1.4tdci fiesta which is nice

S3an

so you are saying you will do more than 600 miles on a full tank?

50 mpg on a stage 3 escos

It's Czech Mate

Zetec-S fiesta, filter and magnex

Lifetime mpg of the car since I owned it 38 mpg. Returns over 40 on long m way cruising

Graceland

on the cossie (dark greens, t34, 24psi, closed loop,) - regularly saw 26 to 30mpg

with the omega 2.5 TD, see about 30-40 mpg

I get 160 miles to a full tank (47 litres).

We don't have closed-loop running yet though.

It's Czech Mate

WTF is the point in some of you saying you can get x mile to a tenner? Or I get X miles per tank

How on earth do you know how much u get from a full tank??? Do you run till you empty the tank and splutter to a halt

Please quote MPG or it's pointless answering!!!!


To get MPG brim the tank and set the trip to zero......drive.......note your mileage and brim with fuel again...note how much fule it took to refill...now u can work out your mpg

"Well, I filled my tank on 15th of June, in the year of 2006. The temperature was 21.5°c with an ambient barometric pressure of 1011mbar. Using my calibrated fuel measuring equipment, which fits inline with the fuel displacement facility at my local BP, I imparted 45.63 litres of fuel. Upon my return to the same filling station on the 24th of June, some 9 days later, I put 43.19 litres of fuel into the tank. However, on that day the temperature was 19°c, although the barometric pressure was the same. I can hereby conclude that my vehicle covered 163.25 miles on 43.19 litres of fuel, making a combined average of 3.78 miles per litre of fuel."

Hope that's OK.

Trip computer says 23-25mpg usually, maths works out about 27mpg. Cars in sig.

Sorry 11-12mpg 4wd cossie on dark greens ect. 24psi(peak)

Rossco

Our Standard (filter and exhaust) on a run will do 30mpg

My Peugeot 307 HDI does 50ish MPG

the 24V granny sees between 13 and 17 mpg in and around town
on the motorway it sees around the 33 mpg mark
the trip computer is just about spot on give or take a few 10ths of a ile lower than the trip meter says in the speedo cluster
with a mixture of motorway and town it's more along the lines of about 22 mpg

i did a trip back from nottingham once though, in which i recorded a 77.8mpg full tank to full tank (or whatever you figure it out as with 130 miles coverd in 7.88 litres) in my dohc sierra with the ultra low diff and slip streaming a lorry at 55 mph

the same trick doesn't seem to yeild as good a result in the granada though, but you do see upto about 45 mpg on the trip computer as opposed to about 33 mpg when not tailing a lorry

also had a few hire cars, a fiat panda with an auto box returning more than 50 mpg in town adn another one i can't quite remember the name of returning 66

on the other hand, i was lucky to see 160 from the 60 litre tank in the estate and once did 18 miles and used 22 litres of fuel

Chill out man

Ł3.47 in today's fuel money is around 3.47L, so 0.75gal, which is therefore approx. 73mpg, easy

My 300mls to a tank is approx. 22.6mpg
Scientifically (fill up, run, fill up), I get 25mpg.

If you're going to worry about 3mpg, you shouldn't really run a performance car, driving style will make either of those figures swing by at least 5mpg either way

In my opinion, there are seriously thirsty cars (below 20mpg), thirsty cars (below 30mpg), average (below 40), and seriously uncool above 40mpg

on the track around 5-7 mpg
