General Best MPG from 165bhp 2.0 diesel sport

[cardinalbiggles]

If u read my other post I used half tank on 295 miles to average that

I topped up the quarter with the share of money I got from a friend to cover there part the fuel bill

So is was roughly half tank to do the 67mpg over 295 miles

That's not 67mpg there is no way you got anything near 67mpg over that distance its way more than the official figures.

To have done 67mpg you would have to have only used 20 litres of fuel over 295 miles which is way less than half a tank. The Bravo's fuel tank is 57 litres. Half a tank for 295 miles is about 48mpg.

I tested my cars mpg over the weekend.
I had a full tank of fuel, and got 658miles till empty and an average mpg of 65.3

Is that good / bad?

Brim it then do the calculation then you will get an accurate value. I would say 658 out of a tank is pretty impressive, is it the 1.6 diesel?

Its the 2.0 165 sport. Had a steady 70-80mph the whole way. Tank was brimmed to the top too.

Not sure I would see that from mine, if I got 550 I would be extremely happy!

Its good, I often get 600-650 miles out of my 1.6 with some left over. Waiting for my 700 mile tank

I think maybe without thw stop starting in traffic i may have achieved close to 700miles.
Also my car has had a remap and they did claim this would improve mpg

I have never managed to fit more than 50l in my tank

it's funny i get WAY better milage at 90 (on a closed road) than i do at 70, like 10mpg more must be the gearing

I get about 330 from half a tank and nowhere near 67, or even 60 mpg on my computer. I average 50mpg on mine, the most I've ever had is 53mpg, and that's working it brim to brim, not using the computer which is quite inaccurate.
