Average MPG for a petrol runaround

I get around 32-33mpg from my 59 plate Focus 1.6 petrol with mixed driving. I would have thought the clio to have slightly better MPG due to less weight than my focus.

I've been doing town driving since I last filled up, and reset my trip computer after every fill up. Been averaging 27mpg in the Clio, worst it's ever been!
My commute is usually a mixture of town and motorway and I'll average about 35 then. Bare in mind this is a 182 with 2.0 litre engine!

Bascially, whatever you're driving, if you switch to a Jazz you will save £8 a week in fuel.

:D

My mrs gets 300 miles for 30l of fuel in hers amazing figures really for petrol and I'd have it to replace my tdi if it didn't have such a small tank. Books say 42l but even if you run it til the computer says nearly empty, it's 30l on the pump to fill.

Almost 12l in reserve is madness. I keep meaning to fill a petrol can and test it to empty :D
 
I reset my counter on the way to work this morning, and was going nicely at just shy of 40mpg till I hit the centre of knutsford. It dropped to 25 lol T_T

Knutsford at 9am, not a place you want to be. Guess thats why my overall average was around 32. Damned rush hour traffic.

I could never get any more than 28 mpg out of the ST, even super duper granny driving wouldn't do it. Think my average in that was 25mpg which was appalling for the performance (still loved the thing though).

I rarely get below 30 on my commute in the ST :-) When I go up to the GF's which is a nice 50 mile run i can manage 40-42

Heh, that's nothing :)
My Avensis before I sold it would show range to empty: 0 around the same time the fuel light would come on. Once I was driving back in the middle of the night between a Sunday and a bank holiday Monday and didn't want to stop at a rip-off motorway service station. The fuel warning light came on just North of Manchester. I grannied it down to Shrewsbury (over 70 miles) and filled it up the next day and it only took 55 litres. The tank is 65L :/
 
1.8 Focus here, for rush hour I only scrape mid 20's due to being an 11 mile crawl all the way. Normal town driving outside rush hour I get 30-35 mpg. Last big journey I did was 200 mile round trip mainly motorway and got 40mpg.

I average 30mpg from my 2.0T Octavia VRS (which i have owned for 6 months now and done 5000 miles). This is on my commute which is 14 miles each way and consists of a couple of towns,some traffic, and hilly windy B roads.

With no traffic on a quiet day i can get 32mpg+ on the same commute.

Long motorways journeys give me about 37mpg

Very short town drives will be more like 25mpg (not even that if it is only a couple of miles and it hasnt got up to temperature)

The average on the trip that shows the average mpg i have doen since i bought it shows 32mpg at the moment.

Got the same engine in the Golf and get similar results (commute is similar but 8-9 miles each way), which is good.
 
I get anywhere from 17-21mpg on my 330i depending on how much I hoon it :)

Runs Shell V-Power 99% of the time too. Haven't noticed any real decrease when using normal Shell fuel.
