Deadmetal Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I've done about 330 miles on a full tank. Which, if my calculations are right is about 44mpg. It was all motorway and done in two goes so not alot of acclerating or braking being done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngie Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Wow thats crazy, most i have managed is about 240! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Don't think I've ever hit 300 on a tank but most of my driving's in town cos I'm lazy & drive to work 2 miles away So the tank's about 7.5 gallons? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zulley Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 filled up on Sunday morning, got a 1.4s (is that 75 or 60?) £40 for 30litres lol, just filled up again and i did 294 miles, about 180 miles motorway, (between 70 and 90 mph) 50 miles driving sensible in town as i was trying to see how much i could get out of her, then the last lot ragging it about in the countryside as i got bored So about 43.1mpgThought that was pretty good, id say i could get 350 miles out of a tank.51mpg if it was mostly motorway driving.

Deadmetal Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 I've never got anywhere near that figure with "normal" driving. Sitting at 65mp on a motorway you can get silly mpg. Very little traffic ment the throttle pedal hardly moved.When I drive like a tit I can use about 1/4 of a tank in 30/40 miles.It's all about not braking and then needing to accelerate again.

Koop Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Obtain & maintain, that's the way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ell.s Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I only get about 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggled Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 (edited) Get about 45 normal/42 ragging it.Might be my age, driving style or the recon gearbox having different ratios...youngie your Currently Driving says a 1.4 Sport but you are asking about 75hp economy. If you've got a Sport (100hp) then the ratios seem to make them very high revving on motorways etc and the economy correspondingly lower.

RobG Posted March 17, 2012 Report Share Posted March 17, 2012 I get around 35 in my sport, it never usually gets a long run which is why it drops. I have seen in the 40's when doing long motorway trips before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bazza21 Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 I usually get around 250 to a tank (until the fuel light comes on)filled up at asda on 12/3, was 131.7 per litreput 35 quid in for the week, 35/1.317= 26.57 litres/4.55= 5.84 gallonsdid 252 miles, 252/5.84= 43.15mpg approx.i would say this is what i regually get within 3 either side.

Koop Posted March 20, 2012 Report Share Posted March 20, 2012 Turns out I was lying, I'm on 170-odd miles from just under half a tank so I am getting over 300 to a tank after all, hooray! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngie Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Thanks for pointing that out, its a 2000 1.4s.The most i have ever managed is 240 out a tank and that is a mix of motorway and normal driving.Howcome you guys are getting such good mpg?My car sits just under 4000rpm at 70 is this right?

Koop Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Think mine was 3500 tops, perhaps you have a sport gearbox! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deadmetal Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Mine is 3.5k at 70mph aswell.Sport gearbox is very likely the cause if 4k = 70mph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youngie Posted March 29, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 :-(,would the sport gearbox make it faster or slower? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koop Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 Should help acceleration as the gears are closer so it will keep it in the sweet powerband when changing up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMation Posted March 29, 2012 Report Share Posted March 29, 2012 ive been doing that feul log thing for about 6 months, i do push it on the country side and have a bit of town driving.im averaging about 36mpg with ashley mani and decat, think i have sports box too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
