The 5,000+ mile average MPG thread

D

... nobody has 5000 miles worth of trip computer.

Really?

 

[c1tro]

I have a log of my 750i from my ownership.

Current book has 7506 miles, using 1580 litres

Does that qualify?

Works out at 21.6mpg since September.

Will have a top 10 and a bottom 10 so if you can get a pic will add to the list

No chance of 5000 miles, it resets every fillup. It tends to be 33mpg over a tank though. Remarkably good for a big boat sedan with a V6 and slushbox, the old Lexus would do 19mpg and was slower.

I reset my trip computer on every fill up but since I track my mileage and fuel usage, I can tell you that over 6000 miles in my Cayman S, my average MPG is 23.41.

According to Fuelio I've averaged 30.49mpg over 3873 miles in my Fiesta ST.

I averaged 39mpg over 140 miles along the A470 and associated B-roads at the weekend. It's my short town commute and other local trips that kill it.

Im getting around 80-120miles for every £40 i put in. So what ever that is...

Only had the car for 1k miles and i reset the trip every time i stick some petrol in.

 

[Jumper118]

i dont think my cars can do 5000 miles without breaking which completely outweighs any fuel cost

That's about 14

I have yet to reset the trip computer, it's currently sat at 22MPG after some 30k miles. Fuelio backs the average up for long term use.

It's quite low, although SMILES FOR MILES!

 

[Tee Hee Johnson]

My wee 1.2 Fiesta has managed 42mpg in the past 10669miles

I have 2 trips, but my car can't do mpg on the trip computer. So I'll post the screen shot from fuel log 8135 miles.

Knowing how inaccurate the trip computer is in my Honda (over-reads by 10%) I would only go by verifying it separately using an app or hand calc.

2012 Audi TTS - 24.74mpg over ~57k miles.

Fuel monitor on my phone tells me I've done around 5000km since starting to use it and my consumption is 15.12l/100km, which is 18.7mpg. That's been pretty consistent unfortunately.

Get the pic now before you reset it

Yup. It is just a toy though and only gets used when i fancy a blast out. I reckon 140 miles to £40 would be achievable if i drove it proper sensible, impossible task though lol.

The Focus has a ave of 41.7mpg going by the onboard computer.

 

[Dale V]

LS400 - 18.4 mpg
LS460 - 24.1 mpg

Seeing similar in my 2007 TT but I'm sat in traffic for most of my journeys at the moment!

 

[rodenal]

My long term trip resets every 2k but the car has averaged pretty much bang on 28mpg since i've owned it (around 12k miles) - unsurprisingly similar enough to the other vag tsi's already listed.

Long term average in the fiesta around 35mpg

 

[edscdk]

my counter cycles back to 0 after about 1000 I think (Toyota prius average 45mpg in the winter, 49 in the summer - average after a few 100miles)

 

[sovietspybob]

Look at all you fancy people with trip metres

Over my last 10 fuel up's i've averaged 68.2 MPG, an average tank is 531 miles so that should satisfy the requirement apart from the literally impossible picture of something which doesn't exist
