Re: Average Consumption MPG

i have just driven the stilo from wakefield to sheffield via M1 then onto A61 with varied speeds no higher than 70 and go the MPG upto 45mpg


maybe that was me being cautious after recent encounters with the boys in blue concerning my significant other

Re: Average Consumption MPG

drove 60 odd miles gently, and i mean "gently", sat on motorway at 65 or so, stuck behind a lorry at 45 ... zzz. i only averaged 48mph on the trip, just as i got back checked the MPG and still only 35 which is the best i have seen

Re: Average Consumption MPG

I get 52mpg (+/- 1mpg) - 1.9 JTD115

That's with town and a/b-road driving (40/60 mix)

Re: Average Consumption MPG

that sounds pretty high we have a 1.9 jtd which is 115bhp but we do more motorway driving than anything else

Re: Average Consumption MPG

Hi All

Tried Esso Energy in my Active 1.6 5 door and got 51 mpg according to computer on a mixed 40 mile trip taking it gently yesterday .

never achieved this before on this route , perhaps its the petrol or very light traffic yesterday !

Re: Average Consumption MPG

Around town and short commutes, I used to get around 27mpg out of my 1.6 3 dr Dynamic. Motorway journeys were a bit better, but still only mid to late 30s.

Re: Average Consumption MPG

I'm finding it hard to stay above 30Mpg in mine. although, i've just refilled twice in the past few days, (long journey.. you know how it is) and not reset the trip, and i'm hovering around 31mpg.. that wont last long.

Re: Average Consumption MPG

Finding it difficult to get back into the 40's... think it desperately needs the service I booked for 20/05. Last tank down to 32.6 MPG which is the lowest ever, dont make sense as weather is getting better and would expect increased MPG Colleague suggestion was stay away from supermarket fuel as its poor... but at current prices its hard to resist...

I use tesco petrol, just so that i can get my points. but afaik, tesco use shell anyway.
dunno how accurate, but i used redex every once in a while anyway.

Re: Average Consumption MPG

48 -50mpg average on daily use on a and b roads, have had 60.1 mpg on a 150 mile trip

(it's remapped!)

Re: Average Consumption MPG

My economy has dropped since fitting the fat claws! Still averaging about 40mpg at the moment, althought granted i'm flinging the car about more now!

Re: Average Consumption MPG

actually after getting it back from the garage i seem to be getting better consumption, dont know what they did.

HOWEVER, i reset the trip b counter when i took it in, they did 7.7 miles and averaged 13 MPG!!!

MOTHER ****ERS!

Driving like this gets me to 35 mpg on the hgt , my normal driving is about 27 mpg , with the prices I think slower is the way forward for now :yuck:

Re: Average Consumption MPG

35-40 just general but on a long run on the motorway get about 45

Re: Average Consumption MPG

my average use (city and out) is about 46 mpg.. i got a jtd

Re: Average Consumption MPG

I don't care what I get, all I do is fill it up when it needs it. My previous car was an Alfa 156 V6, it was too tempting to press the go button so as the speed needle goes up, so the petrol one goes down. The Schui will be the same, I like to enjoy my driving so I don't mind paying for the pleasure. Mind you I only do about 6000 (usually very quick) miles a year. :devil:

Re: Average Consumption MPG

600 mile jolly to Wales this weekend chucking in the last of me redex got me just into the low 40's... and I had a bit of fun whilst I was at it Petrol prices in south west wales scary though at 95 - 99 odd p/litre

stilo consumption

hi there i have a stilo 1.6 16v 5 door 52 plate its doing about 30mpg to 31mpg dose that sound about right thats doing 60 70 mph

Re: stilo consumption

Yep I get about the same but Decks gets a lot more driving like a

:devil:

Re: stilo consumption

Hee hee!
No matter what your driving style though, if you're doing 70mph in fifth then everyone in a 1.6 should be getting the same mpg

Here we are 65mph, flat ground, steady speed, full tank, air con on = 43.9mpg


You can cheat of course, here we are slowing down from 70mph = 77mpg



But after a 10 mile round trip- average consumption = 39.6mpg


Simply put, if you're not getting 40mpg at 60- 70mph then something's up

If I get stuck in traffic then, as long as the sun's out, the solar sensor takes over and the car switches to solar power
