2.5 DI MPG - What does yours do?

[MWOOLY10]

Although mine is a petrol..I usually get about 380 out of a tank and i have a very heavy foot..Whoever said you can see the needle going down they werent wrong

Hoping to get a bit more when the new engine goes in and running smoother..Would probably get another 100 miles if i did 70 everywhere,But then id spend more time on the motorway so it balances itself out i suppose

33.34 MPG

this time 445 miles on 57.63 litres is 12.67 gallons and it works out to 35.1 MPG getting better but that did include a trip over to manchester

dont know luke, ive never checked it. Thats filling it to the brim and running it well below the red , gets a bit scarey after half an hour driving around off the red

when i got 445 there was still 10 litres left in the tank - tanks 68 litres

just got back from a run southend to cambridge and back in my Tourneo DOHC. 148 miles of M25 and M11 and i used 23.43 litres of unleaded.

By my shakey calculator this is 28.9 MPG which is about 5 mpg better than i thought i would. kept 75-80 most of the way. only had one passenger though

[MWOOLY10]

Better than my petrol then..The old engine that knocked did about 380 to a tank doing 80 to 95..Weird thing is the new engine does about 380/400 to a tank and ive been doing 70 to 80 mph to run it in Would of thought id of got quite a bit more with it being a new engine..Think it works out at about 23/24 to the gallon

But i want a bit more .. May go back to driving how i normally do if im not getting any more to the gallon

[matt hayward]

was only doing 20 MPG when i bought it- but a service, pumping up the tyres and a bottle of injector cleaner in the tank seemed to do the trick!

i hate to think what if falls to round town though

[MWOOLY10]

Same as me..Most of my miles are on the motorway..Always service mine and it gets the redex treatment ..Still crap on mpg though

Think i'll have to find a way of trying to save on fuel..If there is one

Around town is about 22mpg. I'm very sad and keep a spreadsheet record of my costs, including fuel consumption. My overall average so far is around 27mpg, with a best of 33mpg and worst of 18 (before service and just after purchased). I find that cruising at 65mph is the most fuel efficient speed.

you are all getting better out of the di than i am out of my new shape! i only got 26mpg 400 miles to £65

[100ps_drw_hicube]

thats not very good mate ! have you suddenly developed a heavy right foot??

[matt hayward]

thanks frank,

its not that sad- i always find myself working out average MPG when i fill up. dont put it on a spreadsheet though

kind of on-topic: I borrowed a mate golf GTi last week and loved playing with all the trip computer functions. anyone know if the trip computers from sierra or granada's can be fitted to a transit? cant resist toys.
