I get 30 MPG on the motorway in 6th gear at a constant speed, but mix in any other driving and the figure soon drops down.

I guess it must be an M3?

Yes good guess, MPG is probably not too bad on balance. Would have been awful for the 330i.

That's my average over the last 325 miles or so, a lot of it was motorway driving but there was a good deal of slower driving, around town etc ...and the driving I did at the meet.

This was last week... a mixture of town and motorway driving.

This was last Sunday, Lyon (France) to Bolton.

Not driven enthusiastically on local trips, no, 20-24mpg, but thats still not a huge difference, so yes, whats the point. Especially when the E90 330i has 272bhp!

How is 30% not a huge difference?!

Anyway, I've been averaging around 24 MPG over the last few tanks.
This tank's ruined though as I only noticed the odometer had stopped working yesterday. I think it'd been stuck for a few days

Pyscho_Si: 50.1mpg ...wow, well I'm fairly sure that's a Mercedes, I think it's an E class ...am I right ? ...what engine did you use to get 50mpg though ?

Fiesta 1.6 TDCi (Zetec-S) 62mpg over 120 miles, last 20 miles involved much hooning.

Looks like A Class dials to me. Could be wrong though..

I guess it depends on your definition of huge

Either way, 30% more efficient is a significant amount.

C Class 220CDI Sport Automatic. I must admit I'm rather surprised with the MPG especially with the auto box.

Decent run back from Brighton to Ipswich today, via the M11 and A120 to see a mate in Braintree.

Jaguar XJR (X308)

Dont worry thats the best itll do chaps on a 40/55mph 30 mile run

what do you get if you set the cruise at 70 mph?

I seem to be getting no better than 21 -22 mpg in my XJR at 70.... is that about right?

paradigm · 23 Aug 2010 at 08:54

BMW 330d, 49.4MPG

Yeah sounds about right :cool:

Skoda Fabia VRS - Computer showing 74MPG... as usual the fuel computer talks &*^t!

For a fill to fill calc I am getting just over 60MPG.

[TW]Fox · 23 Aug 2010 at 12:15

As I am very sad, I've been recording all my fillups using my phone over the last 4000 miles.

It has generated me the following stats:

Last tank average: 33.55mpg

Total average: 27mpg

Worst average: 19.72mpg
Best average: 39.10mpg

All calculated over tankfulls
