(G) Fuel economy on 1.2

What's everyone else getting economy wise? I have just filled mine up after 200 miles and averaged 38.5mpg, nearly all town driving. Is this about normal??

My first tank was awful as I recall but then after the next tank it shot up too about 44mpg.

Hold on in there!

Jim

I get about 50 which is a mix of hard driving, town and motorway Mine has done 1200ish miles though

I get at least 50mpg from every tank, started at 45mpg when new, now on 2300miles.

We are currently getting 47mpg on our 1.2 whilst we are doing the standard car economy testing

Our tuned 1.3 returned an average of 63mpg over the past 680 miles testing in the last 2 days including over 100 miles of demo runs :-)

Aye so you've got your 1.2 then? Fantastic! Get some pics up

Is that before or after it gets 'Twiddled' with?

Jim

Dear Sir, do you mean fine tuning if fuelling, ignition, timing etc when you say "Twiddled"

Yes, before twiddling we do standard economy testing as part of our development process

Yes, had it a while, its completely standard at the moment as we are using it for initial fuel testing and various graphic mock ups (you should see what some people have come up with ) .

That wouldn't be the 'technical' term for it then? LOL


Jim
PS, did you get my PM?

Its is now

Usually get at least 40 but I deliver catalogues so lots of local stop start driving. Last night did a 100 mile round trip mainly motorway and averaged 52.5 which was really pleased with. Done approx 600 miles and still getting used to gear ratios.

Mines on 41.5 mpg at the minute.

180 miles on the clock but MPG figure is based on the last 80 miles because I reset the meter. This is either 15-20 miles per hour over spead bumps or motorway 75mph driving. Not really any 50-55 mph that I presume is where you get the 55-60 MPG figures

My 1.8 2004 Citroen C5 was delivering 23.5 MPG so this is miles better.

When I next fill up I have an Excel spreadsheet that you input the miles you have done and the litres of fuel bought and it tells you the MPG done. I can then compare that to what the car is telling me to see if the cars computer is accurate.

Well when I filled mine up and worked it out manually the car's computer was 3mpg optimistic.

Hi have had mine a week and done around 300 miles and am getting 43.9mpg did start off at 40mpg but started to go up that even using the climate control
