figured out my mpg this weekend....just short of 40mpg. this done at mostly 75mph but with the ocassional 40 zone thrown in. can anyone beat that & if so how? (no towing/slipstreaming allowed!)

 

 

two things wrong here,
how the f..k did you get 40 mpg out of this car ?
either you calculations are wrong
or you just aint driving right

 

I get on average (Including the odd triple digit top down blast) 10km per euro and my daily run is 40km B road 30 km A road and 30km motorway. Thats based over my last 3 or 4 tanks.

 

calcs were fine....i admit to not driving right tho'. i do weekend commutes to reading from plymouth & have compared 'spirited' driving to 'unright' driving & it made no difference in time (altho' spirited is much more fun!). as the route i use is mostly dual split by single cariageway (which negates any time advantage driving at speed generates) i decided to do 'unright' driving.

 

35mpg is easily attainable roof down at 80mph, so at 75mph with the roof up, 40mpg should be about right.

 

I'm getting around 32mpg with a mixture of motorway driving at weekends and A/B roads through the week som 40mpg is attainable or even 45mpg if you're on the verge of losing fuel light roulette and having to sit behind a lorry...

 

Far too slow up Holden Hill

Im a Plymothian ex-pat btw, and often up and down to visit family in Southway and Landrake.

I have no idea what my MPG is, and I don't really want to know.

 

All I know is mine is sub 25mpg.
