MPG

[Roberto]

Just did a quick and rough calculation of what MPG I am getting from my 1.8 Marea Weekend and worked it out at 31.44 mpg which I thought wasn't that bad for the driving that I do. I do 90 miles a day round trip to the office and back, 60 of those miles being on the A11 dual carriageway averaging 80mph (although I have been testing the limits of the happy pedal too ! )and the other 30 on the A134 cross country between Thetford & Bury at about 40-60mph unless I get caught behind a tractor like I did this morning

All of this with the climate control permanently on at 18-20°c

Don't know how that compares to anyone's 1.8 Bravo/a ?

I get about 33-35mpg in my 1.8 Bravo these days!

Used to be better but I don't think my S/S Exhaust is helping!

I do a 30 mile round trip to work and back and never any traffic jams only when there's minor road works! It's on an A road whith plenty of overtaking opportunities which means i often accelerate over the speed limit to overtake slow cars!!

Not sure what mine is at the moment. Was hovering around 32-34mpg.

Since I've swapped the air filter, there's been a marked improvement. More power and better fuel economy. Must be around 36-38mpg. Will put it to the test soon to find out

Current Mileage: 122,500 miles

Not sure what is going on but for the past month or so I've been averaging 35mpg in the HGT, and this is with enthusiastic use of the happy pedal.
