Average MPG

BobbyV · Jul 16th, 2010, 21:45

Just wondering what people are getting.

My trip comp says 27.1MPG on a T4 98

Well my left rear caliper is sticking so i'm getting about 11 mpg urban. Normal running I get about 33 I think and 40+ rural.

That pretty good, mine was similar when i used to do motorway trips but currently using it for commuting, ave speed is 23MPH

On a motorway run, I can average 47mpg at 60 mph. Drops to about 40-42mpg at 70.

Around town, between 33 and 40.

2002 S40 1.8 GDI.

ouch! think the lower the avespeed the higher the fuel consumption

reading some of the XC60 posts about cruise control and they reckon it uses more fuel than not using it. In my opinion i seem to get better MPG using CC. can anyone confirm if its more economical using CC? are there any tests been done to compare the differances? would be nice to know so i can save as much as poss.

Motorway runs returned really good mpg for me too.
