313 miles £100 of fuel
When I went to croft at the weekend I put £75 pounds in to fill the tank and it used over half a tank to get me there , and I wasn't hooning it as it was the 1st trip out since it's been back on the road , then I managed to get back to Lancaster services put another £30 in to get us home , there is a little left just under a quarter , anyone else think that seems a bit too much ?

On the motorway with a few blasts I get over 300 miles to a tank. I reckon i could get near 350 if i was very sensible. T34.63 on 55lbs with a MSD live map (I have a shorter 5th gear as well)

i've got a spreadsheet for my fuel usage for both cars
along the top it says:
date - mileage - distance covered - fuel used (litres) - fuel used (gallons) - cost per litre - litres/mile - total cost - mpg
the date is obvious, when you fill up
the mileage is the total mileage on the odometer
the program then works out the miles covered since the last fill up
then i input how many litres of fuel i put in
the program then coverts this to gallons
then i input the cost per litre of fuel
and by using maths, the program then spits out how much it's cost me per mile and how much the mpg was
the last 3 fill ups on the mondeo worked out to be 16.71 mpg, 22.68mpg and 20.33 mpg
only started to do the fiesta this past week and that was 21.07 mpg (but it's all stop start and 1 mile there and 1 mile back type of stuff)
over the course of a few months you should be able to see a decent pattern forming, and if you start to add in where you filled up and what you put into it, it may also show you which fuel is best for economy too

Im going to mix water with the Petrol to make it go a bit further & then put a throttle stop to allow only 6mm of travel. Take the engine back to standard & then take off the Turbo. All these years with a Cossie & i didnt realise fuel ecconomy was the main aim. Im not sure towing mine with my Pug 107 will improve things but im going to try that next. Its got me thinking I may be best selling it & buying one of those Prias things.

Many years back we did a mpg check after a day of Topspeed testing at Brunters it was 4mpg on race fuel. These cars were inefficient piles of junk back in the days so dont expect too much now .

I think some people aren't getting what this original thread was about I was after what other people were getting out of a tank full , cos it's the 1st time since 2011 that my car has had a long run , and was trying to work out weather or not it was over fueling, I didn't buy my saff in 2006 to worry about fuel economy , maybe it's just the shock with how much the price of fuel has gone up now , and my car is a stage 1 gunship by nms so I'm not running massive boost

Some people check fuel consumption others dont. I have a full log of all money spent since October 1963. it stands at £302981 as of the 1st of the month. Its a completely useless figure cos when i started fuel was 4.6p a litre now its £1.30 . However my wage was £196 a year back then another completely useless fact. Get your car checked out & then forget mpg it dont go with the word Cossie. We have people on here boasting about how many mpg they get from there modded Cossie IMO they are complete Tonka Toys .

On a run to central france I got 450 miles to a tank in my 924 I'm getting roughly between 30 to 35 mpg not bad for a 30 year old

on a decent run,a and a bit off around town driving, the cosy does mid 20s mpg
t34.63 @ 30psi, 380ish bhp, so would say yours should be a bit better than what your getting

Ive just looked on google and looked at the distance from where I live to santa pod. Its 191 mile. Ive done from my house to pod on half a tank.
Ive never worried about mpg on my cossie. I bought the car to drive and enjoy.

I cannot believe this thread has turned into a "my cossie does more MPG than yours"

Agree with you 100%, I personally dont believe some of the claims of how many MPG their cossies are doing. They must drive them off boost at 50mph!! I have had my 2wd Sapphire for 19 years and enjoy DRIVING it, if I wanted a car that did loads of MPG I would not have bought it and modified it in the first place!!
