Danny Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 My focus averaged 18mpg on its last £30 worth. Damn traffic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobinJI Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Scirocco's got a fresh 12 months MOT on it now! Passed first time with the only prep being a change of thermostat so it didn't overheat and a pair of new tyres! Also, YAY I no longer have stretched tyres on my car. I've been too cheap to change them before they're warn out, but they finally died and have been replaced with a pair of properly sized Toyos. Just need the next pay-day to come so I can replace the other 2 with Toyos too. (At least properly sized at the moment though.) Also, my mileage history on the MOT cirtificate made me laugh, my car definitely looks clocked now!: (the new lower mileage is correct for the engine.)

Danny Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 About a month or so. I even bought it from Essex. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete.M Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 WHERE IS THIS MPG THREAD! No competition for you, cos you already get about three times as much as half of us! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I don't want to win, I want to see what others get! Was going to make a thread ages ago asking how far people would if they had an empty tank and stuck £10 in and went to full on empty again but didn't end up doing it.

Skoze Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 20mpg if i'm really gentle in the Capri, 15 round town on average Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.Wood Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 55 lifetime average in the skoda. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shamus Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 21 in town, ~16 pushed and 34 on the motorway. Epic spewbaru (non-turbo) engine configuration. Dan, better off doing say 20litres from full, as fuel price varies and I've no idea where I could manage to run to empty safely/accurately.

Luke Rainbird Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Better still, reset the trip odometer, start with a full tank and calculate based on how much you use brim to brim. Provided nobody's running too far out of OE tyre circumferences it might be the closest we can get to a realistic comparison? Certainly close enough for "t3h lulz". In fact, provided nobody resets the odo we could set a start and end date and just keep track of all fuel fillups in between. That way we're not waiting months for Dan to finish a tank either Anyone game for a fortnight from tomorrow? Any longer and we'd be including any longer Christmas/New Year treks that'd skew the results a fair bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 (edited) Would anyone actually be properly up for this? Would be pretty cool cheers luke for that makes sense to do it like that. Obviously this is just for a laugh but gets everyone involved in something for once rather than just updating stuff now and again on here Haha I do get through some mileage, done 420 miles since Friday!

Pete.M Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Is it just general mileage then? Like driving normally on our usual routes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dann2707 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Everyone will have different sized fuel tanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Yeah just general useage as an "out of interest type thing rather than an all out highest/lowest economy challenge-style whatsit. Brim the car tomorrow, keep track of how many litres of fuel you put in between midnight tonight and midnight of Tuesday 17th (ie becoming Wednesday) when we brim it again and see how many miles you cover. Work out economy and have a discussion point for a while. Not exactly thrilling, but it seems to have kept this topic alive today so people must be remotely intrigued Edit; Dann, doesn't matter - not fussed by how much to a tank, just how many miles you cover for the amount of fuel you use I'm in if you fancy it?

dann2707 Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 I'm game. Driving around with a full tank of fuel is going to kill my efficency though haha. Used to rally spec fuel levels haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 Only needs to be full at the start and the end (ie 2 weeksish - the midnight-midnight thing needn't really be done), throughout the duration you can run it as low as you like, provided you keep track of how much fuel you use throughout 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azarathal Posted December 3, 2013 Report Share Posted December 3, 2013 My shcity rover averages about 35mpg (fuel gauge is broken so spent 6months averaging fill ups) this is with possibly out of balance wheels, dodgy suspension, tires wearing quick and my exhaust blowing from under my seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 Why not just do Mileage/Price/Amount i.e. 92 Miles to £30 (129.9p) Then bosh it in here: http://www.calculate-mpg.co.uk/index.php?intro=unknown = 18.11MPG Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke Rainbird Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 'cause price/amount just gives you the number of litres/gallons/insert unit here anyway, so is just an extra calculation given that your receipt tells you how much you've put in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 I eat my receipts though. Its cheaper than petrol station food. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted December 4, 2013 Report Share Posted December 4, 2013 (edited) That and if you did it as £30 then it's pure guess work as to when you've used exactly that amount... If you fill your tank, drive X miles, then refill the tank you know exactly how many miles you've travelled and exactly how many litres you've used to do it. It's pretty simple, why don't people get it? Anyway, my Audi does 27mpg, over 300 purely motorway miles, non stop at 60mph... Any faster and it does about 15mpg haha Edited December 4, 2013 by Jolfa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
