Moderators /admin – can we either have a new thread or add to the poll 50+mpg and 60+ to the diesel (and petrol too if you like) the poll scale is not really relative with only a 40+ as many diesel owners are getting 60mpg and the current poll scale does not reflect this fact

Updated it

[iNath]

Deleted my 40+ vote and gone in the 50-60 range

Deleted my 40+ vote and gone in the 50-60 range

Same here!

[cyb]

and here ( ta for the update )

I do occasionally just get into the 60+ range, but to be fair its usually around 58 -59 mpg

[dLockers]

220 miles into this tank of regular shell unleaded, averaging 49.2MPG 1.6 ZS

Madness, motorway miles or what?

I've just changed my vote too, im now in the 50-60 mpg range!

Im very happy with that considering i dont always drive like an Eco Angel and considering my average speed is only 23 mph, i'd say that pretty much town driving all the time!

On my longest Eco run, sitting at 57 mph (cruise control nearly 100% of the time) all the way to Amsterdam I got:

Left early Thursday morning in July 2010
from Cambridge to Dover
Ferry to Calais
Drove to Amsterdam parked in a park and ride, had a wicked stagg do for my friend
Drove back all the way through Holland and Brussels to France ferry to Dover and ended up at Stansted before I had to fill up!

I made it 670 miles! But then again the coast of Holland, Brussels and France are really flat...

How come you filled up 40.50 liters diesel while the dieseltank is only max. 40 liters ?

Thanks for pointing that out! I never did get my head round that site properly, I was just plugging in what my receipt said, I guess i just brimmed it? I always go to 3 clicks when filling up.

Either way I'm not using the site any more, too much hassle with receipts and i never remember to write it up!

Titanium 1.6 TDCi 95PS

about 45mpg but I drive it like I stole it

might settle my driving style down soon and repost my revised MPG

[mikester]

Yay, will change mine too. Is it the highest you've got average over a tank or lifetime average?

[orcomma]

Managed to get 60.0 going to the gadget show live on weds (from manchester, down the m6)

Madness, motorway miles or what?

My work journey is about 5 miles of country roads, 15miles A roads and 13 motorway miles,

Ive got the 1.6 petrol and has anyone else noticed that driving in 4th rather than 5th @ 40mph increases MPG(on the insta-comsumption anyway) does for me consistantly, Im not entierly sure why but it does for me. Been doing it the last few weeks and seems to make a difference. Normall get between 320-350 to a tank-Current tank was on 280miles and the 50 mile light came on, Can do more than 50 on the yellow light, drive 90% city miles, Drive like a 20year old lad sometimes, drive like an eco warrior the others kinda balances itself out a suppose. Got a J1 Induction Kit and Milltek Cat Back these will dent the MPG slightly.

I reckon its because you are using engine braking more to regulate your speed rather than coasting or footbraking.

[gingertom]

Had my 1.6 TDCi for 2 months now and the last tank i did 566 miles till i filled up. The computer reckoned id got 19 miles left and it took 39.7 litres to fill. The average consumption was 66.7mpg
