Average MPG - Seat Ibiza Cupra 2010

xJoelinez · Sep 28, 2017

Hi guys,

I'm left a little confused and a little annoyed about my cupra.

Whilst sat still with the engine running, I tend to lose average mpg fairly rapidly. I probably lose 0.1mpg every 30 seconds if even that..

Is this normal? Only just started happening (That i've noticed). Could I have a fuel leak?

Another quick question; is there a way to stop your average mpg resetting every 600 miles? Anytime I get mine to a decent level, it just resets.

Thanks in advance,
Joel

You really shouldn't bother too much with what the computer says, it's only an estimate anyway.
Just work out average MPG tank to tank by how much fuel you put in.

Besides that you bought a Cupra, if you worry about MPG you should have bought a ****ing Diesel.

I'm not worried, I was just confused and didn't expect it!

that's normal, you are consuming fuel without moving so during that period youg mpg is 0....

I have a 2010 ibiza cupra and my mpg rates fall at a similar rate to yours. But for a cupra owner, that's the best time for getting the best mpg haha . I average 30 mpg when on a good day, over 35 mpg is diesel territory.

My car averages 37mpg overall and goes up to 44mpg for journies. I obey speed limits and accelerate gently except when overtaking.

If you think about it logically, your display is showing your miles per gallon, if you are sitting stationary you are doing 0miles per gallon, hence why your reading will start decreasing rapidly as it is beginning to go towards 0.

P.s - 64mpg over 30miles on variable speed limits 30-60mph #diesellife

I'm averaging 44mpg in 2015 cupra. Not bad for a 1.4 petrol

That's incredible, I get nowhere near that even on a long flat run with vpower driving like an absolute grandad.

I find using the cruise control helps a lot, give it the beans though and it's a thirsty engine

The roads around me are too twisty to keep the cruise control on for a good distance, since I’m commuting to college its just steady traffic speeds.

Try engine braking

Can almost do the full road without touching the brakes, except for traffic in the towns. Got a new PB of 78.6mpg sitting behind a lorry for 20miles doing 40-50mph

Yeah I'm the same, a lot of motorway too so I hardly touch the brakes. That's a nice figure but surely sitting behind a lorry for 20 miles isn't much fun mate :blink:

Naa it really isn’t :happy:

Only good part is the burst of boost when I finally get a chance to overtake

What your looking at is the average mpg which resets after a couple of hours of being parked up. So on a short journey the mpg will drop when sitting in traffic, perfectly normal.
