mpg

[bigbened]

i have done a little test on the 1.2 carb and it seems to have produced 30mpg, some of that was booting it, is this good/bad. it was around town
aswell:confused:

[Asa-James]

sounds reasonable, about what i got from my 1.3 regularly. about 250 miles on a full tank?

[Iain]

That's what I get out of my 1.2 carb, which generally takes a good hammering.

[bigbened]

lol all good then, ive had 50+ out of it on motorways sticking to 80

[bosscav]

I did Sheffield to London and back on 20 quid in my old 1.3 mk1 astra once, I was really impressed with it. Get 28ish mpg from the merc

[Riggy]

lol my 2.2 astra only does 31.2 mpg

[Stuart]

pffft riggy, drop the weight to 800Kg and you will get 40mpg easy :D

[blue_peg_16v]

[Brodie_Sri]

I have got a mk3 astra gsi it averages 29 mpg

[Dar]

I get a nice 5.2mpg Thankfully I don't drive it much!!

[Nobby]

i have had 53mpg in my 1.0L hehe

[General Baxter]

i get approx 30mpg in the cally, when its running right lol

and it works out to be 18mpg on full boost on the diesel lol

[Lee]

Feck knows what my MPG was, but I used to be able to manage 3 15 minute sessions on 3/4's of a tank lol

[coombsey]

i got about 320ish on 3/4 of a tank 37quid to fill up again 200 were motor way tho in my 1,0

I get 75 miles to a ?10 (@97.9p per litre) in my 1.2 carb, thats a mix of delivery driving and some normal runs (over 10 miles). Mine is pinking a bit as the ignition is advanced a few degrees since one of the springs in the ignition advance in the distributor broke and the basic mixture was upped a little from what was required on the MOT.

jesus you must have lead boots or the aint set up right i get about 70 mile to a ?10 out of the saloon thats runing an xe cams and 48s

[slammed saloon]

recently bought a mk2 golf gti 16v with tsr cams in it. drive it gently around town get about 25 ish, motorway about low 30's and giving it stick about 17 :eek:

[Jack]

Interested in more experiences of std XE mpg - seen as I bought the saloon to be a bit of an eco-box lol

As long as it goes over the 25-26mpg of the Celica (approx 60 miles per ?10 of SUL) I'll be happy :D

[Andy_L]

Hmm I get around 300 miles from 30 squids in my C12NZ. (oh the joys of 45BHP)

Most of that is crappy town driving stop start **** **** foot to the floor to make the lights, slow down to 30 for speed camera etc etc

So if petrol is 97p a litre.

30/.97 = 30.93 litres. Divide that by 4.5 (roughly no of litres in a gallon) fives me 6.9 gallons.

300/6.9 = 43.5MPG

Not bad I think :D

[Philsutton]

i battered off about a full tank yesterday just doing 50 miles lol
