Thought this could be interesting to see how economical everyone's car is in real life.

Here is mine:


(3.3 V6 Hyundai Sonata)

Not very good I know, however I'm sure mine won't be the lowest.
 
Think my current reading is 26MPG...but I'm not sure which counter that is on.

I'll get some pics tomorrow before and after driving 100+ miles. :)

26.2mpg, road humps and width restrictions on my daily route causes epic fail. Used to be in the high 30s
 
Mine says about 28.8 average at the moment but it's lying, my daily average (of mostly commuting) is about 26-27

:( no trip computer though I can't imagine mine being very economical anyway :D

Ten points to Iguana! It's the trip computer in my Granada - an old 2.9i Scorpio (1989, last of the 'Sierra' look ones) with a specification sheet as long as my arm :D

Drives beautifully though, only done 32,000 :D

It's got the full factory RS Cosworth body kit and alloys too :D Very pimp in white with red detailing, matches my Dunlops :D

I still smile at the amount of kit on it:

- Electric windows all round
- Electric tilt and slide sunroof
- Air conditioning
- Cruise control with steering wheel controls
- Electric leather seats front and rear (!)
- Pnuematically adjustable bolsters on the front seats
- Adjustable headrests on all four seats
- Heated front seats
- Adjustable steering column
- PAS & ABS
- Trip computer
- Outside temperature gauge/clock/timer/calender
- Audio alert for low fuel/failures
- Illustrated light/door/system failure diagram
- Central locking
- Graphic equalizer & speaker joystick (for fading) :D
- Heated front and rear windscreen
- Electric mirrors
- Adjustable intermittent wipers
- Front and rear fog lights
- Front and rear footwell illumination
- Corner lights and puddle lights for all doors
- Headlamp washers
- Rear wash/wipe
- Rear spoiler
- Front and rear cigarette lighters/ash trays
- Closeable change tray. OH YEA :D

Bored of typing now :D

God knows what else. Even got a little torch in the key a la BMW. It's got the 2.9i V6 and slushbox, so it's a very wafty, refined, easy drive :) Moves pretty well though, a torquey little unit :)

Atm 11.1l/100km.

Mostly in town though and the last few times on the motorway I had over 400 kg's of passengers&luggage.

I used to run one of those a few years back, and my old man had an F plate 2.9i Scorpio from new, nice cars in the day.

I request a detailed thread on it please! :)
