MPG, what do you get

[orange_andy]

i just got a 1991 with manual choke 1.4sr. i only seem to be gettin around 50miles for ?10petti driving around town, that seems shit when i used to be gettin about 85 90 in me last car what do you guys get for your moneys worth, and state your car,

[Stuart]

due to the madly varying cost of furl, simply stating "i get X miles to ?10" is a really bad way of putting it lol
With the omega i used to have i got 26mpg on a combined drive.
the 205 TD is great i get 47mpg ragging the arse off it and about 60 driving conservatively.
the 1.2 carbed nova i used to drive would get anywhere between 15mpg (round swansea) to 50mpg when i had no cash so had to make a tank last

[Stoo]

My GSi is amazing on fuel reaslly dont know why

My XE on the other hand is pants!!!

Get over 400 miles out of the tank in my GSi

Lucky to get 250 in my XE

[Snowface]

38mpg on a motorway run.
30-34 for 15-25 mins journeys.

As Stu said please no one state 'i get .... miles for ?10'
its pointless.

[Dar]

I get roughly 3 mpg out of my XE. They are track miles though.
As for on the road SBD reckon that you can get up to 40mpg with throttle bodies. But I highly doubt that. Also what mpg you get really depends on how you drive.

I used to have a company car that had a mpg display. I usually got about 20mpg out of it. However someone else drove the thing and got about 28mpg and I didn't think I drove that car very hard at all.

[Mike]

3mpg! a army tank does more than that! and a humvee! :lol: :o

i get about 240miles to a tank, to mid wales and back from wolvo in t midlands :|

[Ste L]

don't really take note....

just fill up when i got a quater of a tank left, and thats it lol

[orange_andy]

im gonna check, im doin 130motorway drive tontie so ill check, seeems really bad on petti though, possibly depends on ur exhaust system an mods, an its got a big exhaust with 4-1 manifold, seems to be really bad town driving an small by pass, i seem to have around

?10 - about 10 litres an that seems to get me about 40-60 miles, which is awfull, im used to about 80-90, on a 1.6 16v, but i guess there is sum sacrifices for driving a more fun car,

[SRimon]

i get around 25-30mpg

and for ur i put a tenner in people, thats about 60-70 from a tenner

[Naysnova]

In my gsi i get 70 miles to a ?10 around town. But if i go on a run i get 100 miles to a ?10 :wink:

[Jack]

In the nova I used to get about 35mpg I think... thats for a 1.2 carb. Celica does about 25mpg if i take it easy, If my foot gets heavy that drops considerably :lol:

Worst mpg I've ever experienced was on Pug Run - 16 miles round Crawley area in my mates GTi-6 and we used up half a tank :o :lol:

[nathan.]

My Nova does about 40mpg on a long run and 30 mpg around town etc. About 20mpg on the track.

The astra does about 31mpg average

[Adam]

I get around 35MPG from the 1200 beast, thats around town etc as well.
About 80ish miles from ?10 usually.

[orange_andy]

i jus drove 130mile to nottingham, put 15? in the tnak so around 17 litres + snother 5left, an its gone to the red now i only drove about 65 70 most of the way quick bursts of 100 now n then car went pure slow an dodgy once i turned the heaters on let sum heat out it sorted it like, i seem to get around 50-70 miles on ?10 (11litres) around town an stuff, an looks like 130 mile on ?20 (22litres) down the motorway

[scot-ish]

my nova used to get 120 miles to eleven quid so that is bout 60mpg.. on a 1.0.. but that ended yesterday. smashed it with a full tank of pertrol

[orange_andy]

yea me mates 1litre seemed to do alot better on mpg than mine ud expect a 1.4 to do better with easier revs myb than the 1.0 but guess not, both were modded i think mine jus eats petti for fun

[Stuart]

to be picky the PROPER conversion is 4.545 litres = 1 UK Gallon :P

Fill the tank right up. Set mileometer to 0.

Drive for xxx amount of miles, Fill tank right up again and see how many litres it took to do so.

divide litres by 4.55 to get gallons. then divide your miles by gallons = ...mpg.

not exactly rocket science.

[Gunzi]

35-40 mpg in my old 1.6 GTE with mild mods, but as soon as I put the boot down, that fell stupidly to about 20-25mpg!

My 200SX I got 35mpg by doin mostly 80mph from Brum to Pompey, (160 miles) but around town about 25-30mpg

Gunzi

[orange_andy]

well then i get 28mpg :S AWFULL

[Lee H]

I get 40 miles to ?10 around town so thats less than 20mpg. The joys of carbs!!

[womble sri]

my sri used to do 10 miles to the litre easily i travel 44 miles round trip to college and back and im lucky to do that with 10 litres you probably boot it everywhere to rinse it like that.

[dunova]

I get around 20-21mpg around town in the Omega. That's about 185 miles to 40 litres (around ?38 atm). In other words, fecking terrible :roll:

35mpg on the motorway........

[SRimon]
