TBH, 17mpg is the worst i've had, but that was really driving the car.

Now I get about 22-25 week in week out.

On the run to JAE I managed 27 which I was ecstatic about!

 

I get 27-28 repeatedly :S Few VTEC thrashes and 80mph motorway driving the rest most weeks..

Been monitoring it for about 6 full fill-ups now, worst I have got was a 26 I think :S

 

That is bad - what kind of driving is that?

I've just got back from a 2,000mile round trip - Essex to the Highlands and back. Averaged 28mpg in my 330Ci; giving it some beans on the A / B roads and cruise control @ 80mph on motorways.

 

I note that when running the Pissthat in cruise it uses more fuel than keeping a similar speed in manual.
Perhaps the mean in manual is less for obvious reasons?

 

I cant understand how people are getting such low figures thats RX8 figures and we all know what the Wankle rotary is like for thirst!!

I drive mine in VTEC 80% of the time and get 260-270 miles to a tank which is about 29-30mpg

 

With respect, I think that's an exaggeration. There's no way you'd get that sort of mpg if you really were in VTEC 80% of the time!!!

So on ten minute journey, 8 of those minutes are above 6000rpm all the time??

OP, if it's an S2000 and you're getting 18.5mpg on a long journey, I'd get the car checked out. It could be overfuelling which will cause some serious problems down the line.

 

Oh, and 260 miles is 23.6mpg!

 

perhaps a bit of an exaggeration but drive fast a lot of the time and I meant I get at least 260 miles to

 

Cars always use more fuel when using cruise control, engine constantly adjusting to correct speed.
My S does about mid 20's normally unless SHE has used it and it's into the high teens since it's all town work, I did achieve high 30's once, piss poor weather on a long haul from Torquay to Scotland up the m/way system at 50/60 mph. Bloody long journey at that speed in really heavy rain.
