My little red MJ has been doing really well lately, despite freezing temperatures and grippy winter tyres:


(In pounds sterling, that's 74.3MPG)

The best thing is, I'm not even "hypermiling" or otherwise aggravating other motorists, I just go the speed limit and keep the revs in a sensible range.

Holy carcinogenic particulates batman, that's just about DOUBLE what we get from the 100hp. Kinda brings it home.

That is that the computer says though. Done the calculations yourself

Might be worth you signing up to fuelly.com

And here I was thinking I was alone in the world, KozmoNaut!
It really is an astonishing mark, given the cold weather. Mine averaged 3.9 l/100km (72.4 UK mpg) during December, and up until now is the same (it shows 4.0 l/100km though).

What's your best during the year? My best was 3.6 l/100km (78.5 mpg) during August, and 3.7-3.8 (76.3-74.3 mpg) during the rest of the year. These are all calculated values, usually the trip computer shows 0.3 l/100km more than real.

However, I must admit I drive slower than average (80 km/h - 50 mph). Maybe that's why most Portuguese people are bankrupt...

I haven't calculated it manually yet, but I've signed up for fuelly.com and will be tracking my mileage to see if it differs much from winter to summer.
