Lupo Sport Mpg

[muzzy]

Im getting around 190-200 miles from 33 litres in my 1.4 sport. (27.5mpg)

I dont have a heavy right foot..... surely it should be doing more than 27.5mpg

I only use the car for doing the commute to work 10 miles each way. Tyres are inlfated to correct pressure.

What could be causing it?

I had a timing belt change 6 months ago by peugeot .It was under warranty and looked dodgy so they changed it for free. My car has only done 34'000 miles

I get about 180 miles to a tank (full to light coming on) in my GTI, not driven exactly economically. Works out at about 30MPG I think.

Would have thought you should get a lot more than that in a Sport, especially if you're not ragging it everywhere.

i get about the same as that philip in my gti.

although that is all around town. when i get on a bit of a run i normally get 230+.

id definately say yours should be doing more than that. try running on higher octane petrol. may make a difference

Thats all i put in.... BP 97ron (ultimate)

I wonder if when peugeot have put the new timing belt on the timing is not quite right. (i bought the car from a peugeot main dealers)

I had 200-250 miles from full to light from my sport

[scotty]

i get about 250 out of my arosa not driving as economically as poss tho!

[Babs]

on a long run once, I had 380 miles from a tank style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":o" border="0" alt="ohmy.gif" />

I usually get on average 200 miles to a tank (from full to empty) thats using either v power or the 99RON tesco petrol.

[dj_slipp]

used to get 38 - 45 mpg out of my arosa sport depending type of roads etc. you're sport is worse than my cupra.

[Petes 16V Sport]

I get average 240-260 miles to a tank in my sport using shell vpower (99RON) and fully synthetic oil.

[Petes 16V Sport]

and my driving style isn't the most economical in the world.

I think the reason why may be that 10 miles each way isn't that far, the engine can take anything up to 3 miles to warm up, and if your using the sport in commuter traffic every day the stop start motoring is going to ruin the economy.

[canonman]

yea I get about 200 miles out of £22. I like to put my foot down sometimes style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin.gif" />

I get average 240-260 miles to a tank in my sport using shell vpower (99RON) and fully synthetic oil.

That's what i get, 45 mile round trip to work and back, mostly motorways. Usually 220 to the light then another 25-30 miles.

I work all my mpg's out with a spreadsheet and currently it's reading 37.56, and that was 252.0 to £26.50 worth of fuel. Best i have had was 41mpg but that was all steady motorway travelling back from down south last summer.

[BridLupo]

Best I've had was 69 to the gallon over 380 miles. Thank the lord for diesels hehe

[Petrified]

most i've had is 360 miles to the tank. whatever that is in mpg style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":P" border="0" alt="tongue.gif" />

[VWR Lupo]

Im lucky if i get 200 miles out of a tank with my sport and i use super unleaded!

[Dblock]

i find if i drive like a granny i can get crazy mpg, change gear before 2k rpm. when quiet at nights and going downhill COAST. and drive on dual carrige way at 60mph.
