What's your MPG like on Short Joruneys?

[Joshy]

No wonder the average Bentley owner politely requests the YTS guy doesnt work on his car

Not sure I'd say "average" owner? I've never, ever been barred from working on a Customer's car - This spans from famous Footballers to several of the royal fleet of Rolls Royce/Bentleys, and all the fussy millionaires in-between .

I'll admit it - The Rich/Lean thing was a balls up on my end (I still need to learn to trust my initial instincts!) but I'm young and I'm an apprentice, I'm allowed to make mistakes! As long as they are caught before any real damage is done then it is alright

36mpg for the 6 mile round trip to work & back in a 1.25 Fiesta

Same journey in the Elise returns 33mpg

I decided to Google it and went with whatever the first hit told me .

I'm an apprentice

You're....

I've managed to squeeze mine up to 28mpg (trip) average, about 6-7 miles of slow but generally flowing traffic. This is driving like a complete grandad and keeping as much momentum as I can.

 

[andy_mk3]

I average 32mpg over a full tank, at least 90% of that is trips to work and back, 12 miles each way.. mostly dual carriageway.

 

[Pyscho_Si]

Driving the 8 miles into Manchester City Centre (lots of stop start traffic), I'll average about 36MPG (C220CDI)

 

[DannyDan]

e60 525d, about 26mpg-27mpg.

 

[EddScott]

For the last month or so, I've only used my Jeep for back and for to work. Its about 3 miles (nearly all downhill on the way so can pretty much coast after dropping the nipper off at school) use much more on the way home obviously.

The display says its averaging 15.4mpg. Reading what folk are getting from their RX8s I'm not sure I feel too bad about a 4.0L 4X4.

 

[racerboy59]

Yes but I think the difference is that we have fun.

 

[GaryS]

2 miles to work, trip usually shows 34 mpg ish.

 

[Booner!]

I get 16-18mpg, although on a 15 miles commute, I get 19.7 currently, Progressive driving.

 

[D.Roberts]

that's why you have not been stopped working on them Rolls Royce/Bentley`s are crap

 

[Sin_Chase]

I think every journey here is classified as "short"

My MPG average is - Not good.

 

[lordrobs]

2.5 miles without traffic = 27mpg from cold.

 

[Eliot]

The 1.25 fiesta mpg's make me chuckle I average 36 mpg on about 180 miles of 70 mph and the rest in town so how the hell you lot get the same on sub 5 mile 30 mph stop start journeys is beyond me

 

[Joshy]

Damn, some of these figures are actually quite impressive.

I thought my sort of figures were about average, obviously not!

 

[snowdog]

25 MPG now ( that my thermostat has been fixed ) in town if driving like a granps, nearly double that on the motorway ( 43 mpg).

Only when driving very carefully though, one enthusiastic journey with a couple of sprints and it's a lot worse.
20 ish mpg to work ( 3 miles).

 

[andicole0]

Single figures if I take the Cobra, under 20 in the L200, 45 in the S-Max. The last two are diesels.

Andi.

 

[alle]

...49ish for a 9 mile journey each way.

 

[DM]

13-15 mpg.
