Ibiza MPG

[Beazy]

had 600 out of a vented tank driving back from germany before.

Sweet!!

I'm very rarely on the motorways though so If I can ever get 500 from a tank I'll be a very happy chappy

500 miles in a cupra?

jesus, i must be doing something wrong

Nah I'm doing it wrong, driving it like a granny to get those sorts of figures as It goes nowhere near a motorway

My 30mile lights just Came on,just done 250miles on trip. Not been as steady this time aha

I normally get high 50's in my FR TDi, but has been high 40's in the recent cold weather, normally about 480- 500 mles to a tank! Happy days compared to my previos Alfa Brera which struggled to get 27 mpg!

Thanks for your replies - the more the merrier. I have also been looking at other makes of cars.

The 1.6 HDI diesel from PSA (Peugeot / Citroen) is used in many cars including the: mini, 207, 208, C3, DS3, fiesta, focus, C30, 1 series ED among others. This engine seems to be very economical.

My research on fuelly.com, honest john real mpg and forums has shown that small cars (fiesta, etc) using this engine achieve 55-60 mpg and small family cars (focus, etc) achieve over 50 mpg all in real world conditions. The 1.5 DCi Renault and Nissan engine also prove to be very economical in real world conditions.

From what I can see the real world MPG of VAG cars are further away from the official claimed mpg than most other manufacturers.

The Fiesta could do 55mpg at a push in standard guise It wasn't that great, remapped though and it would do 70mpg with ease at 60mph.

How an earth did you manage that, Thats seriously impressive!

 

[gaffer1986]

That's interesting, which fiesta did you have?

 

[Beazy]

Prolonged and constant speed. Cupra loves a good cruise!

That's interesting, which fiesta did you have?

I had a mk6.5 zetec s!

The 1.6 has changed slightly though, it's now single cam dpf setup. Still returns roughly the same figures though... The new 1l ecoboost outshines the diesel in a big way!

 

[gaffer1986]

I was looking at the Mk7 fiesta 1.6 TDCI 90PS econetic. It seems most people get in the high 50s from general driving.

Just bought a 1.6 tdi Ibiza MK5, driven it to and from work, a mix of motorway and back roads... getting between 40 and 45 mpg over the last two days... will report back on total mileage from the tank.

Did i read above that the reserve is about 30 miles (dependant on mpg)?

 

[gaffer1986]

Sounds about average for this car.

2.0 TDi FR

I average about 45/46mpg over a tank. Put 40l in when I fill up and get 400-420 miles before I have to fill up again. That's mostly A & B road commuting with a 200 mile motorway round trip once a month.

I have had 63mpg indicated on a 100 mile motorway once or twice though, but that is driving very carefully.

mk5 ibiza sc sportrider 1.4 n/a 16v i mainly do motorways going too & from work & i average between 36 to 40 on long run at speed between 65-70mph, now getting rid of it cause need a diesel due to poor mpg.

About the same here.

Did you have a MK4 TDI before the MK5 ? - Are you finding it much harder to get the same fuel consumption from the MK5 ?

I had a mk4 TDI 130 and found it was more economical on longer journeys but less economical for tuition use.

 

[Copey]

I get around 30mpg on thw way work which is 2 miles and all traffic, but have had 45mpg on a trip doing 70mph consistantly.

To be fair its not that bad, £135 tax isnt that bad either.

No this is my first Ibiza. Don't mind the fuel consumption too much, it's still quite good for the performance. I just wish the computer wouldn't lie to me so much, it's pure fiction! And while I'm on the subject so is the fuel gauge.
