Economy
« on: May 06, 2013, 05:26:07 pm »
Drove from Bournemouth to London this morning and was averaging under 21.2 mpg . Once I hit m25 I slowed down to about 75 and 31.7 mpg was seen . Was thinking maybe I need a diesel as will do this drive every weekend but this afternoon I took it easy , cruised from hearts to Essex (44 miles ) using cruise control set at 65 for most of the journey and got 37.6 mpg  on main roads which I thought was excellent . What economy have other people got from their car ? Mine is revo stage one , not sure that makes a difference .

Average (on display number 2) was 34.2mpg on my old Stage 1 GTI

That was a mix of town & motorway. I used to get 40-42mpg on a long motorway run (190miles) with cruise set at 69mph  :notworthy:

Never bother going faster than that as I never seem to get anywhere quicker  :signLOL:

Don't know if the tuner makes a difference, most stage one seem to get similar or same as before it was mapped. mine wasnt Revo but a small tuner in Hinkley  :wink:

Best I've managed on a long cruise (between 65-80mph) was an actual 53.8mpg (not using the dash as it registered the same journey with an average of 59.5mpg!!)

That in a 185bhp mapped pd140 2.0 tdi

69 on the clock (66 on the sat nav)

I seem to have a knack of great MPG from cars  :smiley:

-40-41mpg from my Civic Type R
- 36mpg from Focus ST 2.5
-56mpg from the Rocco

I had 38.3 mpg on the computer today. Not bad , but my 50,000 mile 05 GTI used to top 40 MPG on its computer , I think this 58 plate one needs a bit more running in (only 20600 on it so far)

I'm only averaging about 50 mpg from my 105ps 1.9 that's a lot less horses for not a lot more mpg... I'd take the loss just for more smiles!!  :driver:

My sooty pd 140 does over 300 miles a week (250 motorway miles) and my clocks never go below 50mpg and my cruise is set to around 70-80 (probably the higher)

Not sure if that helps you petrol guys  :happy2:

Since Friday I've averaged 18.6mpg.  I have diagnosed the problem. It's called a stage 1 remap!  :driver: just got it done Friday. Don't know why I waited so long!

Did a run across the A69 then up the A74(M) this weekend and got 27MPG both ways.
On parts of the A roads it was early 30s I was getting where held up by traffic.

Only ever got ~45MPG with my mapped 2.0 TDI on the same route, I'm happy to trade Miles Per Gallon for Smiles Per Gallon.
