what does your car do to the gallon?

[Asa-James]

42.22, using this site (http://www.torquecars.com/tools/uk-mpg-calculator.php) to find it.

bearing in mind about two thirds of the mileage done on the last tank were motorway, i still dont think its too bad for a 1.2 4 speed with me behind the wheel,

[Welsh Dan]

About 50 pootling about around town/locally, more on the motorway.

I love derv.

[Jack]

without using that site (I keep my own records lol)

GT4: 20mpg
Nova: 28mpg

The Celica has dropped from 25 to 20 ever since the last service and decat, which is annoying. Time to reset the ECU methinks.

V6 is thirsty, I was getting >40mpg with the XE lol

[General Baxter]

i cant wait to change the diesel engine

i think its passed it

2.73mpg lol

and the loon does
27.85mpg

[Dod]

Moi Gsi Cav does about 32, 1600 Cav does 37ish and my GSi Carlton does 22 or similar.

Its been so long since I drove a Nova as a daily I dunno.

[AlexW]

Without using that site i know my nova used to do about 20mpg, now it does about 23 lol

[floydy13]

the saloon does around 25mpg on the b roads, better on the motorway

[Rysee]

1200 8v carb

36mpg

[MK999]

about 20 apparently, but i'm sure that can't be right lol I'll have to do something a little more accurate at some point, and stop ragging it for a week lol

[BIGS]

Motorway 163.66 mpg lol thats based on using 1/4 of a tank getting to pvs :thumb:

[BIGS]

did you idle it at 40 in 5th all the way there?!

no 60 - 70 lol and had three burst's up to 120 then back down to 60

[Rysee]

kph?

[Hobbit]

The Omega get about 22mpg well thats what the trip computer says (It lives on back lanes)

And my arctic gets about 9mpg on a motorway run and 6mpg on A roads/stupid little lanes lol

[Hobbit]

Edit, wring thread lol

You fuel gauge is broken lol

[Ernie]

A day at combe got me 15.5 mpg nice.
12000 miles was going to cost me nearly 4k even nicer lol.

[BIGS]

You fuel gauge is broken lol

Not broken just nova dials readings. I was probley doing 50mph lol

[Big_Chap]

Average 27 mpg in both the nova and vectra with mixed driving, vectra can see 35+ with uber "eco-drive" mode but gets boring!

[novait]

last time i worked it out it was around 28mpg not to bad as i never had the carbs set up.lol

[dj_wudgey]

ive never botherd to figure it but for a 1.3 its not much lol

[Benn]

About 31mpg...

[Dar]

around 5mpg

[craig-nova]

mines around 20 mpg

[Welshy]

1.4 nova sr 4 branch kent cam, itg filter18.18 mpg lmao

[MK999]

around 5mpg

Now that's a proper figure for a proper car lol

[comptoncj]

i got over 40mpg outa my sr on webers on long runs was well impressed, well 5th gear at 70 was like 3000 revs so it wasnt working hard, then i went to a corsa sport n struggled to get 30mpg whats happening i thought new multi point injection was supposed to be more efficiant than bolting on a set of snorting carbs :)

[Johnny A]

Combo van does between 55-60 mpg
I managed to get 38mpg out of my old 3.0 24v Senator driving to scotland once too lol

[burgo]

that cant be right. recons i done 42mpg today, did i bollox imo

[Mcgowan]

I don't know how to work out mpg so if someone could for me i'd be very grateful:d But when i had my first Nova, a 1.0 it used to use a full tank to do 33 miles, and that was brimmed at the start and then below red by the time i was done:)

Fill your tank to the top, reset your mile counter thingy-ma-bob, mince around burning up go go juice. When you next fill up make a note of the litres you put in and the miles on the counter.

Convert the litres to gallons bish bash bosh mpg :thumb:

[Asa-James]

or use the calculator on the website in my first post

[MattBrown]

My 1.0 can do 30 if on motorway, and 12 down the lanes singing:):)

[joeSRI]

1600 gsi - 31 mpg with a fuel leak lol 13p a mile!

[craig green]

I don't wanna think about it. Not good. Gearbox is too low geared for economical cruising.

Yeah. Nova trip counters/speedo's are known for their accuracy! lol

[paddy138]

the good 328i does roughly 25mpg, thats gay

[Stuart]

35-45MPG in the vx, higher number was when doing a90mph cruise back from the Ring and 35 is fairly common for a trip to Combe lol

even with vauxhalls stupid gearing it does well.

Our MK4 1.8 sri astra does about 35mpg MAX if its being driven nice and gently.... gay engine lol

[stevie-p]

my dads corvette does around 30+ on a gentle long run around town about 20-25
and being a knob about 17 max

[auzzy-b]

My Astra vxr averages at 23mpg.. i worked out i have had the car just over 19months and done about 20,000miles..so if unleaded is roughly £5 a gallon i have spent over £4000 just on fuel:eek: TERRIBLE!! i didnt expect it would be anywere near that amount:confused: :cry: lol

[Paul]

16MPG on the way to Billing, hate to see what a trip to Santa Pod will do.

PV cost me £65 + a jerry can in fuel, I did 25 runs up the strip...

[daverobson]

( 27.73MPG) ( 9.81Km per litre)(10.1936 litre per 100Km)
Averaging pence per mile 16.23
corsa with gte 1.6 in

will standard 1300 sr be better than that?

[stevie78]

25 to the gallon .thats not going over 3000 rpm. about 10 ringing its neck lol 1650 with carbs

[skidmarkz]

at the ring my nova was drinking 6 litres per lap!!!!!

other than that 40 liter tank see's me 300 motorway miles

[Lauren]

33 to the gallon apparently.

Which I think is pretty bad really.
