What's your WORST mpg?

[woodyTDI]

i ave between 47 mpg doing 85-90 mph motorway driving and get aroud 500 miles per tank? that any good?

got new leon with 5k miles on it now.

looking to try millers to see if thats any good.

also do these green cotton filters make a difference at all?

Haven't seen lower than about 30 on the trip so far. No doubt it'll get down when I take it to Combe though!! Highest on a trip so far is 67mpg.

cant grumble, my brother does roughly the same driving as me in his focus (1.8 petrol) and only gets 240 a tank!

i'd love to get that many

Your lucky my curent 1l corsa is only getting 25mpg. at best as you have to rag it to get it to go anywhere.

stick throttle bodies and a decent flow zorst on it and wonder why people buy anything else - they FLY ! !

have seen a 110 sport mk3 (chipped to 130) absolutely flat out show 49mpg at the time

 

[woodyTDI]

how do you guys get 67 mpg? what speed do you drive at?

 

[justlivyalife]

It's an Ibiza so gonna get better fuel economy as smaller car etc, but I was doing between 60 and 65mph for 75 miles from Cheltenham up the M5/M42/A5/A38 to home.

I was in no rush and there wasn't much traffic. I got bored quickly though.

I've found i can get 55 to 60mpg doing 70 though.

You could easily get over 60mpg driving under 75mph on a non congested motorway. However, it takes a long time to get anywhere.

I have found my car is best cruising at 95mph which is 2500rpm in 6th (where road legal of course) the engine tends to love it, 45mpg and you feel like your getting somewhere!!

I have a new leon, anyone know how much it costs to get crusie control fitted? i should have poted for it really when i got the car but didnt.

my average so far over 2500 miles is around 33.9 mpg, thats an allard tuned vt2 hybrid. Worst i have had was around 140 miles to a tank, and at santapod last year my average was 8mpg over the day and when caneing it or going to work and back i usually get around 28-30 ish when lightly booting it, when nailing it maybe 15-22 mpg

 

[daveyonthemove]

Got my lowest today. Over a 50 mile A+B road journey in a hurry to get to work i acheived 42 mpg.
I won't post my speeds up, but i wasn't hanging about and shaved 10 mins off my regular journey time. Usually get 48-52 mpg on same route.

What speed do you drive at on motorways?

Try to maintain 80 mph - try not to go much faster and sometimes reduced due to traffic.

 

[woodyTDI]

i want to hit the 50mpg but havent yet

 

[Triple D]

Highest i got after having my hybrid turbo on is 62mpg, that was on the way back from surrey last year with an average speed of 58 mph

I think you're unlikely to get your question answered in a thread about worst mpg

would have done it some good though, nicely cleared out.
