What MPG are you getting from your vehicle?

60-65 2012 Honda insight hybrid

Vw cc 2013 2.0tdi on run to Dublin from cork on board display is saying 61.3 that going 125km on motorway

99nsr125

191 Toyota Land Cruiser
2.8 Diesel with AdBlue

11.5/100km = ~ 24mpg

with AdBlue at typicall 10% ratio
12.7/100km = ~ 22mpg

That's averaged over 60,000km

2011 Citroen C4 Grand Picasso, 1.6 HDI EGS semi automatic gearbox, had it for nearly 2 years now, does a real mix of local and long distance trips, and it's averaging 6.2L/100Km, which for a fairly large vehicle is not too bad. Got it for silly money out of the UK, the VRT was more than the car and going over with a trailer to get it, it needed a clutch, and so far, I can't complain, the only thing that's upset me in close on 2 years was an injector failure a few weeks ago.

Adblue is an exhaust additive not a fuel additive though?

17 Octavia vRS diesel. 26,000 miles on the clock.

50mpg at 75-80mph on the motorways.

35-37mpg when driving in town.

The lowest I've gotten her is 22mpg on the autobahn.

15 Octavia 2.0 150

Pretty much the same on the motorway but add about 5mpg to the town driving.

Sweet spot for mpg is around 80km/h. Dramatically goes up if you change 130 for 110

Skylinehead

23 mpg or 10.2l/100km.

09 325i. It loves the petrol. And injectors. And fuel pumps.

Are you putting adblue directly into the fuel? That mental. Mpg figures are typical Toyota. The family avensis is showing LTA of 8.2L/100. 142 2 litre diesel. She doesn't mind the odd drop of Paddy's Day diesel occasionally...

AdBlue is consumed as you drive

It won't go without and it's not free either

I need Diesel and Adblue for moition so to exclude
AdBlue and it's cost would skew running cost

19 mpg. Ford transit 2.4 and loaded with tools

Ah no, it's got it's own tank but AdBlue *must* be
burnt as fuel is burnt.

An older similar example would be a 2-stroke motor which as it's burning fuel must also burn 2-stroke oil.

I understand that but it makes no sense to add it to an MPG calculation, because it isn't fuel, it's an exhaust treatment. Sure you could ad an extra 10ml of engine oil per 100 kms to the equation too because it wont run without that either?

I thought it'd be a 110 they're the best version for mpg out of all the 1.9tdi engines. Simply a fantastic all rounder.

I've gotten 1,000 miles to a tank out of my 99 b5 a4 1.9tdi a couple of times, driving like an absolute granny just to see could I do it.

62 litre tank in it, filled to the brim. Roughly 72.5mpg.

This was another time I got 967 miles to a tank

Why are people using mpg? We're a metric country.
The last bits of automotive imperialism were abolished in 2005 and some simpletons are still holding onto them.

Still mpg with me even though I've an import hybrid in litres,still like to convert in my mind to mpg

I’m old school, it’s easier to get a mental picture of mpg. Simpletons? Now that’s a childish attitude, what age are you?

Probably 1.6 Diesel. I had same in 142 tourer..very frugal on fuel.. Honda did a drive across Europe in one where they claims 90 plus mpg...

I never got anything like that but 70mpg was easy to achieve

Dakota Dan

I had a 3.3 litre straight diesel Nissan patrol in the 90’s, 31 mpg which I thought was fairly impressive and that wasn’t driving like a granny.

Golf 1.0 TSI 110hp DSG, 6.78L average a tank over 32,400km so far.

MPG? I thought that's only in the UK no?

Fuel consumption of my car is 11L/100km in the city, goes down to 8L/100km outside the city.

It’s in the US as well but their gallons are smaller, shock horror.

Heres one from my Golf 8.2 L/100km or 34.5 MPG. I cross check it using fuelly but the computer is extremely accurate consistently within 0.1 L/100km which I am always impressed by. My longterm average for the car sits at 34.6 MPG which I think is decent enough overall.

Tazzimus

Mazda's getting 48-49mpg
DC2 used to get 27-28mpg

nthclare

2 L passat estate 52 mpg on average but if I was driving it to its potential maybe 56

If I trust my car computer it's a very economic little car! :P

Ah to be fair I think with the last try for best max mpg tank I did think the onboard tank measure was only off by .5 of a little or so.

Jeez. Where’s the progress?
My 15 year old LC with a 4.2 ltr engine has averaged 24.93mpg over the last 3.5 years.
It did peak at 25.01 back in December but a bit of fast heavy towing has dragged the average down a fraction.
That’s using an app to keep track of actual fuel used instead of the onboard display which usually shows 28-29mpg.

endacl

Getting about 8.4l/100km

‘05 Saab 9-3

About 35mpg in old money?

Can get great results if I drive like a granny. If I cruise at about 80 on an open road it’ll drop. Found that out during the N7 upgrades past Naas.

Lighter right foot Sir. On the Mazda front, a mate of mine has an RX8 in his stable and if he sees 20MPG he's chuffed.

But where's the fun in that, the RS can drink through as much diesel as she wants doing 3rd & 4th gear pulls to 4.5k rpm. There's more fun had in smiles per gallon than miles per gallon.

Yeh I was happy with that. I reckon the only way I could improve it would be to do one continuous journey.

The progress is all on the emissions really.

Emission figures are influenced heavily by the amount of fuel used.
Latest studies are actually proving that new vehicles are producing MORE Co2 than the models they replaced!

Wow, from all your other post lately I would of guessing you were about 60.


Anyways

e90 320d

On long runs I usually get between 49 - 55 mpg and that's doing 120 - 130 km/h.

On short runs I'm only getting low to mid 30s and I well believe it was my old 1.8 petrol s40 was no better or worse.

I could eek 400km out of it doing a lot of motorway driving, although there was days when I'd be late for work and that'd drop considerably

Thats a beautiful engine. Beautiful in every way, from its dawn cacophonous chorus to its effortless simplicity.


I'd love a 90's patrol with that engine now. Actually, I'd love an 80's Jag or Rolls with that oh so Irish conversion to the otherworldly 3.3

Up there with the best the diesel engine has to offer. The 6BT, the OM606 and the XUD

50 ish mpg.

1999 Audi a6 Avant with a proper torque converter box. 1.9 110hp afn engine.

Probably one of the best engines VW has ever made.
