    Through my motoring history:
    somewhere over 40mpg in a car with a broken fuel gauge 1.2 litre
    48mpg 1.2 litre
    35mpg in 1.3 litre
    35mpg in 1.3 litre
    27mpg in 2 litre
    25mpg in 2.5 litre
    45mpg in a 1.2 litre
    25mpg in 2.5 litre
    4.8l/100km in a diesel 58.5mpg
    4.8l/100km in a diesel 58.5mpg
    17 to 18kw/100km in an electric and the next one should be similar


    I'm getting 230 wh/km (23kWh/100km) in my current EV.
    Used to get 16kWh/100km in my leaf24 and ~14.5 in my Ioniq28

    It’s like apples and oranges being argued and then you come along with your ham sandwich saying it’s also a type of fruit.

    46MPG (6.15L/100km or c. 7986.328 AA Duracells per hippy-mile) in my w204 merc, petrol and autobox.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 2,738 ✭✭✭Heres Johnny


    Long term avarage on a 141 A6 190bhp auto 2.0 tdi is just over 40mpg. Got it well into the 50s on motorway spins taking it handy. But if you push it on a bit it's just under 50.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 930 ✭✭✭homewardbound11


    Ateca . From New 1.6 tdi dsg auto gear box .

    Real life long distance driving so it’s as good as it will be.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,157 ✭✭✭redlead


    My car has gone from averaging 5.4l/100km consistently over three years to 6.2l/100km. The only thing I can think thats changed is I got 4 new tyres. Would they make that much of a difference? Gone from Michelin to Bridgestone. I would have thought that both were the standard type for Irish roads but not sure.

    Tyres do , but mostly its driving style,cvt boxes if not regularly oil changed your mpg suffers big time

    Take away the hippy sh1te, I'm no hippy. I've owned more single digit MPG vehicles than I have EVs :)

    It that from the display? How many km to the tank are you getting? I don’t think Honda even claimed the insight could be that economical it isn’t even a proper hybrid.

    Please help me buy a honda insight. Which dealer and what to check

    Volvo S60 2.0T: 27mpg

    All averages over many tanks

    I'm less concerned now about MPG than I was last year due to changing both cars!

    My old Superb MKII combi averaged about 64mpg on Fuelly.

    Now my G20 330e has averaged 87mpg over 15,000km in the first year and the other car is a Leaf so filling stations are almost a distant memory.

    I reckon i've saved as much on take away coffee and crap as I have in fuel in the last 12 months

    How much has electricity cost for the 330e?
    How much has electricity cost for the leaf?

    Jeep Grand Cherokee 5.7 V8 Hemi. 20l/100km or 14mpg in old money. A waste of petrol, it's a washing machine.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,242 ✭✭✭BlakeS94


    I put diesel in my yoke 3 weeks ago and MPG has been incredibly good, still has pretty much a full tank, because its been parked at a mechanics

    That isn't bad for one of them normally they're in single figures. Is it the economy engine that switches out 4 cylinders when cruising like the Chrysler has?

    the leaf cost about €18 on electricity last month for 867km.

    I don't really bother checking the 330e on electric costs ... but at about 19c per kwh costs about €2 to charge and I generally get about 40km on pure EV

    The decision to go PHEV / BEV isn't purely about fuel savings for me. The 330e is just a lovely car to drive and the leaf is the run about - replaced an old oil burner so would have been pointless to go down the ICE route for it

    Yes same thing. I'm tempted to get rid any buy something fun but never get around to it.

    That's the thing. Smiles to miles are low. It's an appliance.

    get round 38-42mpg from a 1.5 turbo, which i'm pleasantly surprised at thought it would be low 30's at best


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,639 ✭✭✭✭ELM327


    Sold my tesla, we now are back to two ICE cars

    2001 peugeot partner DW8 - 40mpg

    Golf GTE mk8, averaged 2.8l/100km (101mpg) over the 1000km I've driven it so far. My work commute of ~18km (10km rural & 8km urban) gets me about 1.8l/100km (156mpg). Did a 211km round trip yesterday from Cork to Bantry and averaged about 3.7l/100km, pretty good considering the battery was empty by the time I left Bantry.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,890 ✭✭✭DuckSlice


    BMW 325D E90 - 39.7MPG coming up on the computer, its usually a bit better when I calculate it myself. Mostly long runs for me with a mix of motorway and national roads.

    My little 125cc bike was doing 2.2l/100km so a full size car doing 2.8 is quite incredible considering all the weight its pulling around.

    But you don't have to charge a battery on your bike to get 2.2, you are measuring actual petrol burned. The car is 2.8 plus the electricity used to get this figure.

    1 litre of petrol has 11kWh of energy - this is how they measure MPGe - so it's quite easy to work out the full amount of mpg+mpge, to take into account the electricity used.


    Let's say to do 100km, the phev used 2.8 litres of fuel and 11kWh of electricity. Thats the equivalent of 3.8l/100km


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,267 ✭✭✭mikeecho


    BMW F10 520d.
    Between 1000 & 1300km per 70L tank.
    That's 40 to 52mpg


  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,631 ✭✭✭✭antodeco


    60l tank and I get around 130miles, so less than 200kms!

    Another car depending how I drive, a full tank (25l) will be halted driving from Liffey Valley to Dundrum

    What's that, 10mpg?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 280 ✭✭jordan191


    Around 75kwh, so at 7.6c/kwh
    Equates to €5.70 for 450 kms
    Tesla model 3 performance

    Yes, over the same distance I averaged 11.9kWh/100km so ~119kWh of electricity used. That would cost roughly €20 at my current rate (would be half that if I switched to a night rate).

    Plus the original €30 of petrol I put in the day I got the car. That's €50 for 1000km.

    My previous Golf, a 1.2tsi was averaging 6.6l/100km or about €100 for every 1000km. So I've about halved the running expenses.
