General The MPG Thread
Ive done 400 miles in my 1.4 and currently getiing 43mpg which i think is rather good as i put my foot down quite a bit
8900 Miles on mine now. I'm struggling to get it above 42mpg.
I drive to work every other day and it's 40 miles away on dual carriageway; 50mph for 8 miles then 70mph for 30 miles before going into town driving.
I have even tried doing less than 70mph to keep the revs below 3000rpm but this doesn't seem to help. I don't drive with my foot to the floor and dont brake too sharp either althogh I use the cruise control all the time (but i thought this is supposed to help with fuel economy) but i get up to speed first before resetting the cruise control otherwise the car speeds up that quick the mpg drops!
I am annoyed at the poor mpg from that advertised in the Fiat brochures because the driving I do, i would have expedted to be in the 50's at least!

Just installed the ECO DRIVE on a USB stick. Will it work if i plug the USB stick in the glove box (do we have one in the glove box?) want to keep my iphone plugged in the main usb to be honest!
looking forward to seeing my ECO DRIVE ratings etc.
I seem to be averaging 32-38MPG.
When driving the IC is normally around 57 though....!!

4900 miles 35mpg average and i don't hang about.
this week I have slightly changed my driving style so i change to the highest usable gear if i am not accelerating and change down if i need to accelerate and with this little change i am up to 40MPG.
Using start/stop does help a lot so don't disable it. I find the start/stop is only hopeless if it is under 2 degrees. Although my 40mpg figure rarely saw start and stop as i never really needed to stop much.

I tried the ecodrive but ive had a new computer and ecodrive is not compatiable with Windows 7 which is on my new computer! Bit rubbish really seeing how long Windows 7 has been out! But thanks anyway!
Works on mine?! And mines X64 bit?

I've just downloaded it. Can't understand why it didn't work 1st or 2nd time I tried?! I'll have a play with it and see how I go. Thanks!
6300 miles here and between 39 and 40.6 mpg. Cannot get anymore than this however I drive, mostly A roads and motorway to and from work using cruise control set at 65 on motorway. If I ever get 42 plus I will be amazed.
Mines also running windows 7 64bit... no issues.
I've been using my car a fair amount lately and the IC is ranging from around 50-80mpg and I can feel it with my petrol lasting so much longer. I'm not keen on going slow but if its saving me money, I might as well do it

I cannot get above 33.9MPG Average Need to check my latest Eco Drive results
Need to check my latest Eco Drive results
33.7 on my 105 multiair atm, town driving though... had 37.5 when i was motorway driving last week.
Eco drive reports 34.9MPG from March 28th to Today
I can get the Average very high but the results arent "real" as they are accumulated over short distances, 34.9MPG is from 336miles
My best to date (according to Eco Drive) 38.1 MPG based on 29.4 miles driven

Dual carriageway and b-road driving gives me an average of 44mpg over 200 or so miles
