fuel consumption

[jatinder]

what kind of mileage do u get out of a full tank on ur novas coz i only manage 220 in my sri is that bad? ive only got an air filter and a full exhaust system wiv a de cat.

[wisewood]

it depends how hard you drive it...

i used to average about 300-320 in my merit.

[Jim]

As Wisewood says, it depends on how hard you drive it as well as what type of driving you do. You will generally get better mpg on the motorway than across town. Also, there are so many different modded novas you'll be getting different answers. As for myself, I gave up trying do good mpg once I got the twin carbs, lol.

i second that.

but i have Twin 40's aswell and i get about 220 - 240 on a full tank.

[Aragorn]

most ive ever managed is 280 miles from my 1200i

thats a full tank till the digidash starts flashing

thats cos the foot is normally welded to the floor since its soo damn slow :o

[Slatter]

twin 40's - ?10 like 30 - 40 miles if lucky lol

so erm dunno wot that would be id guess like 150 for tank ?????

But its way i drive :roll:

[Breeny]

200+ if sensible. Did 80 miles to a tenner once :? I wasn't being sensible..

[Stuart]

i squeezed 370ish out of a tank once. that was full to the filler level and then till it ran out and stopped.

usually i get around 300 if its on major roads and 260 if its in towns

[dave.gsi]

never had a full tank lol being a student an all. ?15 will last a week though

[RobIsGrt18]

me little shitty clio can do 270 on a full tank, thats with a bit of a thrashing to, so it aint to bad :)

[wisewood]

my standard 1.2 clio will get about 350-360 out of a very full tank right down to nothing.

[RobIsGrt18]

thats pretty good then wisewood!! mines a std 1.4rt, so uses bit more petrol when thrashing it!! still im quite happy with 270miles :)

[wisewood]

i do have the fuel magnet thing fitted...

[Ric 16v]

when I fill my tank up (approx ?20) it lasts 2 WEEKS and I still go into my local town every night to do a few laps !!! although I did use ?10 worth of petrol in about 3 hours once :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll: :roll:

[wisewood]

its easily done, you get on the motorway and in 3 hours you used most of a tank of petrol... lol.

[Lee H]

I get 70 miles to a tenner generally which is shocking!!

[Will]

80 miles to a tenner, but i need a rolling road, running rich :)

[neiloakley]

my 2.0 8v does 10pence per mile. That is half foot down and half sensible. The engine is unmodded.

In my 1.2, i got all the way from brentwood, essex to alton towers and back on a tank (33quid) and that was 430 miles. I did 80 all the way.

Hi -

have had 380 miles to a tank on the 1200 and that was with the needle *just* touching the red.

will do 200 miles to ?16 (m/way to billing) and i wus impressed with that..

My 106 diesel will do anywhere between 50 and 70MPG muhahahaha


Phil

[Anton]

my nova 1.2 did about a tenner every 10 days

the pug 106 diesel i have been driving since new years eve, is still on the 5 quid i put in it :D

[Phil_G]

hi -

mine isnt but ive done about 400 or so miles...


Phil

[jatinder]

The most ive ever got was 380 miles to the tank on the motorway to leeds for the carling festival and i was drivin between 80 and 115 and had four peeps in the car which aint bad my car costs about 27 quid to fill up though. its just gerneral driving that i think that the consumptions shite. and the petrol gauge has the anoying knack of doin 180 miles for the first half and about 40 for the rest... make of it what you will.

[Phil_G]

hi -

my nova's needle wont budge for 100 miles then drops like someone shot a hole in the tank :o

Phil

[Dicko]

with my slightly modded sri engine in i got 70-90 miles out of ?10 round town ands i have a heavy right foot.
With my 1.6 16v i get 60-80 out of ?10 and the induction note if far too tempting not to drive at full throttle.

cruising at 60 on the motorway i did 50 miles on less than ?5 petrol which is pretty good

[Cossierob]

i usually manage 300 miles or so in the nova (?30) or 220 - 250 miles to ?55 in the cossie :(

[Nova1.6]

umm not sure what i get but i fill it up with bout ?10 and have to do that about every 2-3days and travel about 15-20 mins of driving.

[Chris LR]

250 miles is all I can get, thats being really sensible with the right foot.
It's because my front wheels are all over the place due to 3 accidents.

I usually get 220 from it.

[jatinder]

yeah that sounds about the same as mine well so long as it normal for that type of enggine to do about 220 to a tank. I just though that it might have a bit better fuel consumption
