Toyota have them down as 55mpg extra urban, 80 average on the display is conceptually realistic under various conditions. On a 30 mins trip I'd struggle to imagine the display is remotely accurate, the usual 50 to 60 mpg indication would suggest that it's a wildly optimistic reading
I'd believe the 80.3 mpg. ........
I still struggle to imagine how ye used to get 35mpg from a diesel Cherokee 0 -

What I meant was I'd believe that the display would show 80 mpg if you reset it when the car was warm on a quiet road at a continous speed of 80kmh or so. The minute you would slow down and speed up again that would be out the window. I'm not saying a yaris would actually do anywhere near 80mpg in a full tank. As for the Cherokee we got 32-35 mpg out of ours checking it through briming the tank and then drive and refill it the usual method. But then that jeep only got long drives. It never really done much short trips stop start trafic as we had a Santa Fe for tipping around town that done 28 mpg. Do you do much long drives or is it all town driving I can imagine they would be thirsty then. Another thing is driving in cork and driving in Kilkenny are 2 different things in the fact that there is practically no trafic in Kilkenny relative to cork. From going to college in Ucc the level of trafic shock me as I'm just not use to it in Kilkenny. I suppose outside cork city mightn't be as bad. You should come come to kilenny for a day you'd think there is no cars on the road even at rush hour peak times there is very few trafic jams. What are you getting out of the Cherokee mpg wise surly it can't be that bad ?0 -
............ What are you getting out of the Cherokee mpg wise surly it can't be that bad ?
23mpg average
Most of my runs are 12/15 mile spins with little enough traffic. I'd do one or two short spins a day too.
Pretty much what I expected, if I ran it on short trips only (a mile or two) around Cork City I'd expect 15mpg at best.
Official figures are...
Fuel consumption (urban) 21.6 mpg
Fuel consumption (extra urban) 32.8 mpg
Fuel consumption (combined) 27.7 mpg
I rarely get close to official figures.
My Yaris comments weren't at all in your direction and are in total agreement with that you said.
I've been in Kilkenny once or thrice, when I was a rep covering Munster I also had Kilkenny and Wexford for some strange non nonsensical reason.0 -

Most of the time my dad drove his 100-200 km per day around from building site to site but most of the trips where quiet motorway main roads as most of the time he was in kilkenny wexford Wicklow Carlow waterford. He only really done work in cork after he sold it in more recent years. Next time you take yours on a long trip see how it does. I do remember when the jeep was only a few months old the light came on and dad put 20 euro in it. Then my uncle and me went for a drive in it and is not a slow driver. So we were driving it hard and it burned through the 20 euro in a ridiculous short time and this was when 20 euro of diesel was actually a good few litres. Still after all the jeeps and cars bought and sold over the years. That Cherokee is the one that my dad misses the most he really regretted selling it but was downsizing at the time and unfortunately it had to go. I personally really like them too. We had great trips all around the country in it.0 -

@ RoverJames & Bpmull - Ya, what happened on my drive was I knoced off the car for a break, then when I went back driving I looked at it and it displayed 80.3mpg. I was half thinking it was to good to be true though. The journey was on back roads, where I'd be doing about 40 -50km/h ish. So I presume this helped as well. Anyway, thanks for clearing that up lads. 0
