You missed my point. I don't (didn't) think that anyone would care about his fuel consumption.

I was wrong evidently. LCR fuel consumption data between people who already know it has obviously become fascinating.

stuff of legend :) seeing that average mpg above 30 let alone 40 is miracle stuff.

back to the real day to day stuff tommorow so will be down in the 20's as usual :(
 
one for the lcr owners, whats the lowest you've had on the instant :)

i had 1.8 mpg on the instant on sunday :)
 
your obviously not trying hard enough :)


giving it stick off a round about it briefly hit 1.8 then settled around 8mpg whilst accelerating up the a90

Where have you been? he makes up all sorts of random crap for effect, you learn to ignore it after a while.

shut it student boy,


go tell someone how fantastic 530's are :) :) :)




maybe i misread it, tend to try and keep eyes on the road when giving it some, i'll go give it some stick tommorow and see what comes up :)

nah part of the job, we hit punters with standard 40 quid valet charge for that round these parts what irks me is the used needles we occasionaly get left


fox is just jealous because he bought a beemer rather than a Skoda :)
 
Normal service is resumed,

Took wifey to work this morning as i'm doing the brakes on the lcr today :) 16mpg on a 20 mile round trip:D:D:D

I've managed 40.2 MPG out of the S3 before on a run to Devon and back with the missus and a car full of stuff. That was doing 60mph pretty much everywhere and the MPG figure calculated properly

Am currently getting between 32 and 36 MPG depending on how much town driving I do. Am pretty impressed with it actually, although it doesn't take much for that figure to plummet if hooning it around!

This is on a 210 S3 remapped to ~265 BHP

Have to say - I get kick out of inching my average mpg up with motorway trips.

Proof, if ever it was required, that I have a very small penis.

The very best I've ever managed in my CTR was during a trip consisting of 95% motorway, resulting in an average of 31mpg from a tank. That's sitting at 75-80mph most of the time.

42.5 from an LCR is damn good!

doing the same run later on this week :)


dont know whether to aim for 15 mpg or 45 mpg :)
