Seat Ibiza 1.6 Sport (petrol)

[roadz]

Just wondering what MPG figures other people are getting?

I've got one of these and I seem to get pretty low MPG...

 

[Deleted member 66409]

Around Town - 36/38MPG
Motorway (60/70MPH) - 45/48 MPG
Best ever - 52MPG

I do mostly motorway driving so see a average of around 45ish! Around town is poor though! What kind of figures as you getting?

I get pretty much the same figures from my cupra....Im guessing its a thirsty engine?? Is this the one they stopped producing??

Yes, it's been replaced by the 1.2 TSI

Exactly they aren't the most eco cars! When the finance is up next year I'll be looking into something else I think (FR/Cupra)

Best I've had out of my boc is 33mpg

I have the replacement 1.2TSI engine and the most I've got is 60mpg. It's all town and country roads over here - we have no motorways, lol! Brilliant little engine! Come to think of it, there aren't many roads left over here that are National Speed Limit. They keep lowering them all!

I have the 85PS 1.4 and my record is 65mpg

Generally average 45 though. Wouldn't have thought the 1.6 would be significantly far off.

Best Ive had was from Preston too Brummyland and got 49.5mpg round trip...granny mode though

Worst was from Preston to York on the A59 and averaged 19.3mpg....

Ha well a was doing low 70's on the dual carriageway and low 60's on the a1 up through Northumberland and Scotland coming back to work on sunday so a dunno if it could be the terrain effecting me mpg

Thats piss. Mine has seen 44 mpg..albeit briefly.

How long was the journey?

I find it to be very poor and that's with a light right foot as well. 42 mpg is the max I get, but in the cold weather it drops like a stone. Looking for a replacement for this very reason.

 

[J400uk]

Yeah the weather does definitely affect MPG, its been warmer this week and I'm seeing better results than I've got used to for last couple of months

this is what i have and have already posted my shocking results and views on this as i get 32mpg, 53 quid gets me 250 ish miles, i had better when i had the corsa vxr and i booted the hell out of it. the 1.4 doesnt shift and crap in snow as i found out last week. sorry slightly off topic

I agree with you in the cold weather you notice a big difference. I do lots of motorway driving and I get like 45avg if I'm doing just motorway driving. But when you boot it, it drinks it!

can anyone explain this? i mean i can understand it takes longer to warm up etc but i thought the reason for induction is to keep engine cool to improve performance therefore when colder (appreciate not minus temps) it would run better.

i bought mine in april / may and was fine then all of a sudden gone down hill which early dark nights and cold temps may explain

Cold air is more dense - it needs more fuel to keep the correct ratio for combustion.

Whilst the car is warming up - it richens the fuel mixture so more fuel is used.

 

[jaybro187]

Ahhh bring on the summer so it's squashed flies I can moan about instead

One other factor that many people miss is tyre pressures.

As the temp drops so does the pressure in the tyres.

Lower pressure = higher rolling resistance = higher fuel use.
