Thirstiest car/bike you have owned.

[Serendipity]

I don't feel so bad reading some of these figures. My current car is the worst for fuel economy out of any vehicles I've owned.

Old 2005 Honda Accord Tourer with 2.4 petrol engine.

Worst around 18mpg
Best about 36mpg
Average about 26mpg

Not particularly quick, but can pick up her skirts when asked. Mileage may reflect the fact that it weighs about the same as a semi detached house.

Seems positively frugal in this company.

Car: RAV4, 25-30mpg not really worth it was pretty slow and ugly as sin.
Bike: My current 990 when ridden properly can drop to low 20's quite happily. People reckon they can do 45mpg on the motorway but that's probably sitting at 60, mines normally 40ish.

My mate has a daft Audi A8 W12 thing, amusing to watch it average 7mpg as soon as you touch the throttle Sounds like an old fighter plane when it starts up which I like a lot

I used to work off an average of 7mpg with the rally car (1300 cc130 ish bhp) in stage and around 14 mpg on the road. Normal car wise my Scooby used to just manage 30 mpg and the Octavia vrs was surprisingly good at up to 45mpg

38mpg from both the Saab 9-3 diesel and Renault Clio 1.2.

The saab is capable of mid 40s mpg if motorway driving, but I use it mostly for town driving.

There's no DPF fitted from the factory (I got lucky) and the EGR has been removed.

I always wanted a high powered 90s Jap car, but at this stage they appear to be money pits that I don't have a place to look after properly. Think I'd rather just have a faster bike.

I actually get a better return MPG wise in the works transit than I do in my little Suzuki.

Car - Westfield with a 2L pinto engine, stage 3 head and cam, 45 webers did about 15 mpg if you caned it (which you do, its not a cruiser).
Bike - TZ 250 G V twin. Don't know the actual MPG but would use 30-40L of avgas at a 2 day meeting plus 1L + of Castrol A747.
In contrast I have a Mercedes C250 which averages over 50mpg over its life.

OGR.

I could nanny my S3 into the 40 something MPGs if I had a mind to on a long run. But that was no fun at all. Didn't buy it to save money.

Not sure it would count.... but I did get about 68 miles from a full tank on the ninja (16.5 litres, I siphoned off about a litre for the dirt bike) before it coughed, spluttered and died.... not sure what the reserve is, so not sure what the mpg worked out at... but I'm guessing single figures.

Not sure it would count because around 7 litres ended mixed in with the oil.

Old mondeo currently get around 25.9mpg to and from work (home: 2.8 miles, 13 sets of lights, average speed 12mph*)





* I remember years ago hearing that if you stick to the speed limit all the lights will be green..... I've tried from 15mph up to 70 30mph (officer) and still manage to catch all the slowest junctions on red
