how low can you go?- how low can you get your mpg ?

[233]

well with these days of economy motoring, everyone worrying about the cost of petrol/diesel etc all we seem to see is look at my epeen and my 60mpg pictures being posted

managed some spirited driving in the vectra and got it down into the low 20's

bear in mind i dont drive a 3.2 v6 or a 2.8 turbo, i drive a supposedly economical 1.9 CDTI

 

[233]

I cant see how you can get that MPG tbh. Seems a bif iffy, duff trip computer?

nope, just drive like a hooligan- i'm a taxi driver


the long term

and a normal mornings figures

That's not even trying. I'll post back on Monday.

i thought it was a good effort lol, almost half my regular figures

I bet I could get either of my commuting cars down into the 15s/16s over a week.

lol the challenge is on,

********The OfficialOCUKlowest number of miles for a gallon of fuel in a semi sensible diesel commuter car********

post your figures below

Foxtrot 26-23.5 mpg - vectra 1.9cdti

I didn't say they were sensible diesel commuting cars

I could throw the Westfield in the mix but:-

1: it doesn't have a fuel comp.
2: I don't do much commuting in it at this time of year!

FFS do you not own a copy of excel and have umpteen spreadsheets devoted to your cars fuel useage ????????????

GET OUT AND NEVER DARE DARKEN OUR MOTORS FORUM AGAIN




or you could estimate?

This is a fairly stupid thread given its not hard to reset the MPG counter and then just nail the throttle up a sliproad. I can get 6mpg doing that.

///SERIOUS BUSINESS///


new rule, all participants must burn at least 1 gallon of fuel


now its all proper and stuff )

I find it ironic that Foxtrot has started this thread when only last week he was complaining about fuel prices and was going to jack his job in because of it.

fuels came down round here woot

128.9 now at my local filling station

but hey i'm a taxi driving git, i like to moan
