I have sold off most of my petrol guzzlers and parked up the rest
and bought economical shitters
just to keep the family mobile i have have and run 4 cars
i get 200 miles to 65 quid and drive 40 miles a day,,,,,,,, dont wanna talk about fuel economy as i do 300 quid a month on fuel,,,,,,,,, still i love driving my subaru
I do 40-50K miles a year, so fuel economy is fairly important to me, will never have a badly uneconomical daily driver again, its just throwing money away to still sit on the motorway at 60mph in traffic anyway, no good having 450bhp and only get the chance to use 50bhp of them on a day to day basis.
Would sooner save the money to spend going round racetracks of a weekend.
My audi 130 tdi se oil burner is doing 46 mpg round the houses and is a nice motor too
My s line 2.0 tdi mapped and doing 196 hp and 342 lb ft does 36 mpg and 41 mpg on a run
Had a Focus TDCI hire car today, thrashed it to Brunters, thrashed it at Brunters, thrashed it back home. 300 miles, and still 41mpg. I thought that was quite impressive.
No matter what I did the 'instant' readout was never lower than the best my old ST200 managed to average!
my mates just got a new passat eco thing, 1.6 derv. has done 850 miles to a tank, i think he said 58mpg average. but it still needs running in, so should only get better.
my work vivaro van seems to be doing about 600 miles to a tank, ive not yet done a full tank on it tho as i only got it sunday with 3/4 of a tank, and filled it up tuesday.
my old van would see 500 miles to 80L, but that thing got its arse handed to it ALL day
on the 2 occasions i have cruised the skyline when going for a health check ive managed in the 20s mpg which i think is remarkable considering its a fat arse gtr
but its normal routine at wot and its single figures lol
