MPG...

[Groove]

I have been doing a lot of miles recentally (over 400 a week) so thought I'd see what sort of MPG I have been getting. The average from the last 3 tanks is 40mpg.

This is from a 1.8 petrol Ford Focus on a T plate with 203k miles on the clock...

The latest tank returned 392 miles (still had just under 1/4 tank left) and was £58 to fill it. 39.6 mpg. This is also with a steady right foot!

What are you lot getting?

around 40-42 mpg in my MR2. When I'm commuting to work it gets driving like a nun, do have plenty of times where I'm booting it as well. It has a wee 1.8 VVT engine, but it doesn't weigh anything to economy's surprisingly decent.

The 600F returns around 35 mpg and doesn't get ridden that sympathetically.

41mpg. 2.7 diesel Mercedes CLK, which recently replaced my BMW 535 petrol V8 which struggled to get 20mpg.

Bike gets 56ish on average.

29 mpg in a 2.0 petrol Audi A6 Estate
45 mpg in a 1.5Dci Renault Megane Coupe

[chrisw]

998cc Toyota iQ - 56-60mpg

I've found that depending on where I fill up that can change dramatically. I've seen it drop to ~50mpg when filled from a crappy Total garage and hit the top end when filled from a busy supermarket garage.

18mpg - 1967 Landrover
17mpg - 1993 Ford Explorer

Yamaha BT1100 gets between 55 and 60mpg
Isuzu diesel Pickup about 35mpg on average

Honda Jazz 1.4 averages 39mpg, but gets used for loads of short school runs up steep hills. Get it on some quiet A roads and it’ll do 50mpg no problem.
CB500 averages 54mpg and I’ve got it to 64mpg in the past. Never dipped below 50mpg.
CBR600F currently averaging 48mpg on my daily commute.

I use Moto Minder on the iPhone to track all my fuel and servicing. It’s a bit American (gas log, etc) but it keeps a record of what I want to know.

Around 45 - 50mpg from a 1.2 Fiesta.

That's doing a mostly stop/start 40 mile round commute each day, averaging about 20mph.

In the MR2 I was getting about 25 - 30mpg doing the same drive.

Bike gets an average of 47.3mpg (over 15 tanks). That is a 2001 CBR600f.

[stonesie]

Not clocked the new bike yet (Daytona 650), probably about 45-50 mpg, SV did 62, got it down to 50 with commuting though but was doing it more than 5 mins faster than in the car, and theres no filtering..

Punto 1.2 sporting 6 speed, 43 mpg average, my old BMW 328 did about 20 but was ever so slightly more fun

[Steve-D]

On my commute to work of 15miles mostly through town with 6 miles of a roads I'm averaging 21.6mpg
Vauxhall Omega 3.0 v6. Its worth it for the sound alone.

[james1988]

35 - 38 depending on where I'm driving (around town vs motorway) in a 1.6 fiesta.

Probably about the same on the VTR.

40 in my Focus, no matter how hard I drive it, it never seems to go below!

[neil.]

126.4 MPG on my CBF125 at the moment. https://www.fuelly.com/driver/cbf125rider/cbf125

[defblade]

Car (BMW 318 touring) = 30mpg

Bandit = 55mpg


I do enough miles on the bike (about 7,000 a year - mostly commuting) that the petrol saving against taking the car more than pays for running the bike

Hi

Ones I have checked recently.

Jaguar X Type 2.5 - 28mpg in average use, 30mpg average use but without short journies (cold starts seem to hammer it). 36mpg on a long 70mph motorway journey. Figures taken from the trip computer that is a bit optimistic (ie, 28mpg on the trip computer worked out at 26mpg when checked brim to brim on the same tank).

Alfa 156 2L TS - 31mpg in normal use with no effort to be good. 37mpg if being good on the motorway.

Kawasaki ZZR600 - 64mpg being good on the motorway, about 58mpg on the motorway if not being good.

All the best

Keith
