Bravo TJet

[pearse]

I've been driving a 2008 150bhp Bravo Tjet for 2 weeks now. Great car. Im used to driving diesels though, so am still a bit heavy on the accelerator, and was wondering what a good mpg for the car should be? It's mostly in town traffic driving with motorway one or 2 times a week so I'm averaging about 29mpg? Is this about right?

I don't know myself, but i am picking the same model up on saturday!

Upgrading from a 2001 1.2 Punto

Town driving. Or a lot of start/stop journeys will get me 35 mpg in my 120 t-jet when i don't put my foot down. Your engine is very similar to mine. So I can't imagine it being much worse if you keep the accelerator off the floor haha. Motorway driving and long journeys under cruise control in 6th gets me 48 mpg. I've even had it read 57 mpg. But I reset it whilst on the motorway so I cheated a bit haha. When I put my foot down or do small 3 mile journeys I've had it drop to 25 mpg so. If you're a bit throttle heavy at the moment that reading seems fine to me.

To put it short, my 1.4 T-Jet's best tank averaged 41.5 MPG, and 43.7 MPG on "Esso Supreme"

These figures are based on a cross country B-Road journey to work 6 days a week. 13 miles each way.

The bigger turbo on the 150 sups fuel a little more - somewhere around 5 MPG less I would expect.

If you can get up to 35MPG I'd say that's what it should be at.

I average 40mpg in my T-jet 150. However my driving is largely on dual and motorways and in East anglia where a lack of hills certainly helps.

remember it is winter so the heater puts extra load on

when was car last fully serviced and plugs changed?
tyres pumped up?

i average 35 with simliar use

I have a 2008 tjet 150. My journey to work is a 6 mile round trip, with it being stop start as well. I usually do a long run at weekends going home or to my girlfriends (both 200+ mile round trips). I'm normally sat at 60mph on the motorway using CC- both journeys are 90% motorway. My mpg since August (as that's when I started recording my petrol/mileage) is 39.7mpg based on actual calculations rather than what the trip counter says.

I have a t jet sport 150 i get anything from 25-35mpg round town and it does anything between 30-50mpg on the motorway and its been remaped with a custom exhaust build running 190bhp now, so i think its pretty good on fuel for size and power especially when my brother has a suburu and he gets 88 miles off £35 that always puts a smile on my face

Likewise, but mine includes some hills and urban roads.

from 7.5 to 8.5l/100km. Mine averages around 8l/100km and I do 50% highway at speed from 120-140km/h on odometer.
