View Full Version : Miles per galon from a 1.2
Just wondering what you standard 1.2 carb engined drivers get out of yours and what you're supposed to get?
Recently I worked out I was getting 23mpg which I think is a little low. :P
Cheers.
23mpg-do you completely rag it then? Or did you calculate it wrong? I get more than that out of my gsi. I think 30-40mpg (depending on driving style and urban/extra urban situations etc) would be average and as for what you're 'meant' to get-depends how you drive it.
my best was 45 the worst was 17
if people start quoting fuel consumption in terms of money i will ban you as its just stupid and pisses me off!
eg "i get 100 miles from ?10" etc. its jsut crap advice!

100 miles on a tenner mate :lol: sorry camb i couldnt resist
which works out as about 38mpg on fuel at 80p a litre
whoops
Hmm, has camb's finger slipped on the ban button? :lol:
My 1.2s did about 10miles to the litre.... so 10 litres = 100 miles. Not sure what that is in gallons as i'm Metric Boy lol :P
Nah I don't rag it. It's pretty much short distance urban driving so that probably doesn't help the fuel consumption.
I'll get it booked in with a mechanic this Easter and get it sorted because I need to drive it down to Devon and that won't be fun with 23mpg!
Cheers for the replies.
