Technical fuel consumption

My bumf.

407 miles covered, over 3 weeks of commuting 6 miles and one trip to Edinburgh (80mph i was late). 68 miles remaining range. 40.1mpg, see tootling on backroads even affects the 1.2 a bit. :p Average speed 32mph.

Gotta be one in the eye for TC, get your car to the garage mate. I'm getting way higher economy and with an higher average speed, and Scorg can confirm the road between Windygates and Glenrothes isn't exactly a high speed road, i never tend to get over 55mph due to morning slow coaches (see commuters).

Yeah, that road is bad in the mornings, and with the steep hill it slows the traffic right down

Yeah, the 1.6 can shift once your used to the extremly long peddle :)
 
just checked the stilo, average speed 37mph, average mpg 37.1 distence travelled 187.

As Im usually using the brava I get cought out by the ASR. the large roundabout in Kirkcaldy that leads to the duel carrageway is usually slippy. so if the wheels spin I usally let go of the peddle a bit to counteract. then asr kicks in and drops it off to near no acceleration, you can imagine what happens now ;)

I get 19 to 24 mpg from my 4.7 litre Heep, which has an auto box and accelerates and cruises much quicker than you might expect!

Certainly be able to sort out small-engined Stilo's and Rovers in a fairly straight-line drag race... :eek:

As long as it can do the 0 - 60 sprint in under 10s then you'll beat the small engined rover :)
 
I've just brimmed my stilo, £42 of BP Normal Unleaded (2 bottles of water and a bag of sour haribo). Range to empty on the forecourt is 380Miles. I'm going to be nipping about town for the next 2 weeks with little care for fuel consumption and see how far i get.
 
Not bad, was it mainly backroads/motorway/urban or mixed driving?

I covered 600 miles on a tank, but it was red light on and 60 miles remaining, i managed 49.5mpg, doing a typical 70-80mph for most of the tank, maybe 100 miles at best of that going less than 70mph.
