Thanks mate!Thats normal i guess.Because i did a little of those klm in a city.
You want to drive from Stafford Park, past Hortonwood at peak times...jeeez...I can walk faster at 5 oclock...
Just cruched the numbers after checking past fuel receipts and it seems my trip computer reads upto 4mpg out...strange as it fluctuates between 2-4mpg too generous not constant at all?
Just filled up at the same garage, same fuel...trip computer told me I was getting 45.4mpg, whereas in reality I was averaging only 41.5mpg... So much for a remap improving economy, just buggers up your trip computer from what I can see....
I wonder why this is?
My MPG is almost as p...y as yours. We both live in South Lanarkshire. Is there a connection other than the well known fact about our crap roads?
:yeahthat:its a Sporting not an Eco-tec
Had a trip up to Wythenshawe in Manchester and back on Wednesday.
178 miles and averaged 54.3 Lets take off 3 Mpg becoause of my re-map to satisfy the suspicious.
51Mpg, thats a mix of Motorway, A and B roads, just over 3 hours driving at or around the speed limits. I'll see if I can post up the pictures of the display from my phone over the weekend.
Jimbob has made an important discovery, I dont always stay in a high gear, what works for me is being able to keep the motor in its "zone" around 1,800 - 2,500 Rpm. Around 60 Mph in 6th on the Motorways and whatever gear I feel the car wants to run easy on A and B roads. In 6th the engine is running 2,100 Rpm at 70Mph.
That economy will do for me, its a Sporting not an Eco-tec
Agreed. It is quite a nippy car and the figures are only a little disappointing. But I believe the rather larger Bravo diesel with similar performance produces better figures, so Fiat could perhaps improve the GP without too much effort.Fair enough, I suggest you check back through the Posts in this Thread though, some would die for that sort of economy. But be mindful that the MJet engine is quite old now, and other manufacturers such as BMW with their latest 320d have only just stepped up their game in light of the "save the planet" lobby, the credit crunch and fuel cost rises. Lets hope the next gen 16valve diesels from Fiat give some a better perspective on things, after all, the now discontinued 8 valve MJet range are considerably cheaper than other "similar diesels", mine was only £9,500 2 years ago.
Edit :- also remember this is a 1.9 Sporting not a 1.9 Bluemotion / Eco warrior
I thought you said:-
"Anyhow this Economy thing does my head in, too many variables to be of any use, I only know what my car does and how to make it do it"
Have you checked how much your remap skews your mpg figure... Mine can be 4mpg out, I would imagine as your map is "richer" than mine it could be even further out?

Plus I get NO black smoke.
Can I just third that!!! I commute from Glasgow centre to East Kilbride and I average about 38mpg - 8 miles takes half an hour and that includes 3 or 4 miles at 50mph or above!
Sorry for this but, i was wondering, i just came back from a trip.I did totally 900 klm on the freeway and did those in average speed 140-150 klm/hour.My computer says 6.5 litres/100 klm.Is that good?I can't turn those numbers in mpg!I tried but i failed!H E L P!
£40 fills it up and I get about 340 miles out of that. If I drove sensibly I'm sure I could get 400miles+ very easily...
Hi Vaggos
try the following links:

Remember: 100km=62.11 miles.
100m=161km.
Hope it helps!
And neither do I my good man....
