what mpg do you get?
 

only really want results of "average" 4 wheeled car.

reason i ask is, i have a 52 plate picasso 1.6, getting a little tired now for 10 year old car 150,000 on clock.

but it fits all my dj equipment, like a small van with seats out.
room enough for a mucky dog, taxi to teenagers, you all know the score.

been thinking of replacing the old girl, (the car, if mrs churchfc sees this she might get her hopes up) but recentley i have been driving with fuel consumption at the forefront of my driving,

according to the onboard computer, i am getting around 50 mpg, last run out was to ambleside, 50-60 all way

around town getting about 30 mpg

how does this compare with your vehicle, also using its age, mileage, engine size that sort of thing.

trying to decide in spending a few quid, and keeping this, or looking around for summat better, if there is anything

useless piece of info, to go with it, if anyone doesnt know a gallon is about £6.50ish, if you do know you could have told me to save working it out!

Mmmm ... I drive a classic '90 Cadillac Sedan De Ville, with a 4.5 litre V8 ... and in winter, a beat up old '95 Chev Suburban with a 351 big block. So, I guess I don't do all that well on milage;) I think I posted pics on a thread called "Old Motors". Fortunately, I can get cheapish gas in the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory ... along with cigarettes for $10 a carton of 200, and Cuban cigars dirt cheap.:theband:

2005 Accord diesel estate, 2.2 turbo diesel 193K miles, mainly sitting on motorways at "quick" speeds I get 46-47 real mpg calculated from brim to brim fill ups

I reckon driven more carefully I could easily get > 50 mpg but its a trade off of how long to get home vs the extra bit of diesel.


if your car has no real faults likely to cost more than a couple of hundred quid for a years running then it will never pay to swap to get a few more mpg.

for other "cars" I've had recently

1997 Volvo V70 T5 estate on LPG, easily hit 24 mpg with LPG at 1/2 petrol cost so equivilant of 48 mpg, driven to ~ 250K miles and still drove lovely

1998 Audi A8 4.2 V8 LPG worst 17 ( thus 34ish) best 24(48) , however this threw its gear box and a few other big bills so only lasted 1 year

I never take any notice of on board computers are they fluctuate too much. I fill up, do the miles, fill up again do the maths and get my mpg that way. I average about 40-42 mpg around town and 58-62 mpg on a run. I drive a Hyundai cxi 20 diesel "12" plate

re: what mpg do you get?
 

yeah, £20 gets me about 160 miles, so the trip computer is "about" right.

but your posh you got a new car lol

I had a few Fiats Studio, had a Panda and two Uno's think I used to get about 55 out of Panda and 45 out of the Uno's but I did quite a bit of motorway travelling in both Unos, mind you its over 17 years ago, although at the time I did keep a very detailed account of my usage

Real MPG | Honest John

They have been collating responses from the public due to EC/Government controlled manufacturers official mpg figures being so misleading. Good luck with your research. You could always buy a more up to date (less tired) Picasso - Citroen have improved them over the years. Overall, still a very good versatile and economical car.

Re: what mpg do you get?

Re: what mpg do you get?
 

I can beat that,
1.64 Gallons to the Statute Mile.

but then again it is a Boeing 737 with two engines producing 22,000 Lbs of thrust and she does go at 460 Miles per hour....

Glad I don't pay the fuel bill

Re: what mpg do you get?
 

Mind you if you had to pay the BG you wouldn't be bothered anyway:D

Re: what mpg do you get?
 

Being the nerd I am. Seeing this topic I thought of the File type MPG or MPEG

Re: what mpg do you get?
 

MPEG is miles per extra gallon isn't it?

Re: what mpg do you get?
 

Not a lot, and I drive a Ford Focus. I can't be more specific than that at the moment but will update later.
I drive a little more than perhaps an average person, but when I fill up which costs me about £80, it doesn't last a month.

Re: what mpg do you get?
 

£80 for a month I wish, £80 lasts me a week :(

Re: what mpg do you get?
 

You aren't on your own Rob...me too. Though I don't think I could be called a nerd....I just need to go to specsavers and get a new prescription. :D
