What's Your Mpg?

[Paddler Ed]

Mine's done 1/2 tank, and 260 miles at the moment; it's showing 32mpg at the moment. Bu that was mainly on motorways and stuff. I tend to sit at around 76mph (120kmh) as it uses less fuel than at 80mph, if I go to 80mph it drops to 28mpg ish, adn the fuel guage gets a lead weight attached to it!!!

Only had the car a couple of weeks but so far very economical, getting 35+ per gallon locally, not been on a good run yet but hopefully better figures at cruising speeds.
1999 V40 1.6 petrol.

And like the op I am very light footed as well.

Jeez!! My modded T5 will, on £50 quid of super, get me 300+ miles, and I could never be accused of having a lightweight right foot

240 GLT 5-speed - 30.96mpg average since I bought it: I'm with that. I've not entered the most recent fuel bill into the spreadsheet so it'll drop slightly.

940 2.3 Turbo 5-speed - 30.29mpg average since I bought it: but the last copule of weeks have hammered the consumption so I reckon it'll be around 27 with a mix of local and M56/M6 running, the latter at or near the legal limits.

I've got spreadsheet figures for both of these plus a 240SE 2.0; if anyone is interested PM me and I'll e-mail them to you.

Like Nunchukhamster, (martial artist by any chance?) I'm not renowned for having a particularly light right foot, but the computer readout tells me that I'm 'averaging' 28.7 MPG. That's with a mix of something like 50% around town, 30% country roads and 20% motorway driving.

However, when my son gets in the driving seat all bets are off, as his foot nails the load pedal to the floor!!!

My 850 T5 (std map with MBC 12psi) recently gave an average of 31mpg on 95 ron fuel - 1500 mile tour of scotland UP and down *lots* of mountains.

Usual work-and-back runs I get about 27.

Thrashing it everywhere possible - 22ish.
