2002 Leon Cupra Fuel Consumption Figures

[Stormflex]

Anyone know where I can find the official fuel consumption figures for my 2002 Leon Cupra (petrol)?

Have been hunting around on Google but no joy so far. I'm hoping to find the urban and motorway figures.

Thanks

parkers.co.uk will have this info

I tried there, but will look again.

Cheers

Yeah, just says "33mpg"...

That's your combined figure (which is about right for fairly sensible daily driving)

You won't be getting much better on the Motorway

having had mine a week and a half driving it like a granny i have managed to get the most of 36.2mpg

Found the numbers for litres per 100km - might have to try and do some sums...

normal mixed driving returns 28-31mpg, motorways at 60-70mph will return 33-36mpg, 80mpg returns 31mpg, booting it/hard acceleration/high speed will see low 20's

my trip computer display 2 always shows a figure around 28.8 - 31mpg and I only reset that once every few months so it gives a realistic average.

The same for me after 3 weeks of ownership.

And the answer is:

Urban = 11.8 l/100km, 23.94mpg

Extra Urban = 6.6 l/100km, 42.80mpg

Combined = 8.5 l/100km, 33.23mpg

Dont see the extra urban ever happening lol, as i cant get more than 36 on a trip from the city out to the village i live in.

 

[iandunn1100ss]

I would struggle to get that in my 1.4s

the only one of those figures that is true is the Urban. Both the Extra Urban and Combined are a little on the high side. The best I have ever seen was on a motorway run of 180 miles with clear traffic doing around 60mph and that was 38mpg.

In the first few weeks of ownership or after mod expect to always be under 24-25mpg average.

Yeah i would think so.

My mum has an Audi TT Tdi and she is usually short of the given figures by about 15-20mpg

Urban fuel consumption (mpg) (cold) defined as: The urban test cycle is carried out in a laboratory at an ambient temperature of 20oC to 30oC on a rolling road from a cold start, i.e. the engine has not run for several hours. The cycle consists of a series of accelerations, steady speeds, decelerations and idling. Maximum speed is 31mph (50 km/h), average speed 12 mph (19 km/h) and the distance covered is 2.5 miles (4 km).

Extra-urban fuel consumption (mpg) defined as: The extra-urban cycle is conducted immediately following the urban cycle and consists roughly half steady-speed driving and the remainder accelerations, decelerations and some idling. Maximum speed is 75mph (120 km/h), average speed is 39mph (63 km/h) and the distance covered is 4.3 miles (7 km).

Combined fuel consumption (mpg) defined as: The combined figure presented is for the urban and the extra-urban cycle together. It is therefore an average of the two other parts of the fuel consumption test, Urban and Extra-urban cycles, weighted by the distance covered in each part.

Agreed, they do seem high - as is the way with most manufacturers quoted economy figures.

I will take these along with the numbers you folks have been suggesting.

Thanks for your input.

Basically unlikely figures as there is a never a drive similair to these

I do all my driving on rolling roads these days....

 

[TimJK]

So in actual fact you have NO Mpg?

 

[wisejason]

I wonder if any of the car makers actually do real world tests

 

[TimJK]

For MPG i doubt it, but on other tests yes they will do
