[manthatkidisscrewed]

Late last week I did a tank on the m'way and got 320 miles (before the red light) and 47mpg...55mph all the way...I couldn't sleep and left for work early you see!!

Got another load of driving to do this week so see what other results I get!

(Remember that's with a GSR aswell!)

Wow cant belive this thread is here was going to start my own about my MPG.

Ok so drove from stirling to aberdeen at the weekend and sat with the cruise at 75mph all the way there and averaged 42.3mpg then on the way home i sat with the cruise at exactly 65mph and averaged 52.2mpg!!

What a difference and only 10mph slower!!

I have a 1.4 8v Active Sport and get about 44 mpg around town. Earlier this week I went on a 40 mile drive from South Queensferry to St Andrews (mostly motorway and A roads) and got 54.8 mpg average - about 65-70mph on motorway and 50-60 mph on A roads. Did the same journey again today this time putting my foot down more often and got about 48 mpg. The car has about 14200 miles on it.

Current Average 41.5MPG, pretty much urban driving...

Best 'sensible' return (60mph) Glasgow - Dumfries = 55MPG

Best 'silly' return (85...ish mpg) Edinburgh - Glasgow = 46MPG

God , what a lot of boring waffle . You bought a car to drive so DRIVE it. These are the costs of motoring lads so put up with it or get onto your old bicycle and winge about those cars going too fast, polluting the air and all of the other green politically correct stuff.

Try using a good quality diesel eg; Shell, BP,(4 to 5 extra mpg) tune your engine.(I have a 170 remap and it gives better MPG as a bonus) And enjoy your motor. You bought it so you can only blame yourself for your percieved poor choice.

I am more than happy with my 19. ltr multijet sporting, 42000 miles and getting 54 mpg on mixed driving.

Enjoy your Italian (different from the crowd) car for what it is.

Cheers.

It was originaly a fair question/thread but when folks started going on about their old Astra,Skoda, VW, Austin ,Ford etc etc all getting X amount mpg I lost the will to live!!!!
Fiats claims, like all other companies should be taken with a pinch of salt. They set these consumption figures under ideal factory conditions which bear little similarity to day to day driving with a massive variety of different drivers and abilities.

"Eeh, when I was a lad my old Pug 205 got 65mpg on trips from Bristol to Newcastle and in't olden days my Hillman Imp got 40 mpg"

Thats got nowt to do with it!!!!

Its called "discussion", its more interesting than people just posting numbers.

it's interesting to see how the GP compares to other cars though don't you think?

besides, you didn't create the thread so you shouldn't be moaning! Unless the thread creator objects to hearing about other cars because they feel it's irrelevant to what they asked i'm sure there's no reason why this can't carry on the way it is?

 

[colin79666]

Just did a 100 mile round trip in my 1.2 Active. Mixture of motorway (M74), A and B roads.
50.2 MPG on the trip.

 

[Se7enHP]

Ok Guys, I have read all this, but there is no mention of what the 1.4T-Jet is achieving?
Someone care to enlighten me.

 

[Se7enHP]

26-28mpg in a T-jet.

If that is right, it is complete ****. Then again you said you have been having problems with it, the 197cup had a recall for a faulty injector which was reducing my fuel consumption to 17mpg, quoted 33.1mpg by Renault . I was hitting 29mpg after the problem was resolved

I have been running in my Volvo C30 2.0D, which means that I have been driving it in much the same way as my Multijet Sporting. With the GP I always got 48-52 mpg but my first tank of fuel with the Volvo produced 41. On my second tank I am getting 46 but having to drive it much more carefully.

 

[punto_matt]

Thats after my map and with spirited and city driving only.

Is that just because it's .1 of a litre larger bore do you reckon? Or could it be that the Volvo has a more accurate MPG calculator?

 

[Si - Punto]

Last tank of mixed driving (couple hundred motorway miles and hundred and a bit of town/country lane driving) got 337 miles from the tank.

This equated to a trip computer figure of 40.9mpg and a calculated 39.4mpg Interestingly enough, my trip computer used to read a pretty steady 47mpg average on most tanks yet I used to get similar miles out of it

Now I'm not complaining exactly, I drive the car spiritedely for some of those miles and pootle about for the rest of them however seeing an average of sub 40mpg out of my standard diesel which leaves me feeling uninspired every time I drive it makes me think that it really wont cost me a great deal more to go back to a more enjoyable petrol (especially when you consider the extra cost of diesel per litre compared to petrol)

 

[dannygp]

In my 1.4 I'm only getting around 34mpg. Even with driving like a granny
