i had 57.3 on the way back from sheffield!

Dammit! I thought I was on a winner! :D

I get about 46-50 around town, bloody round abouts, teasing me to speed up, and then start again!

I dunno what I was getting before I put my tuning box on, went on more or less as soon as I got the car.

Ah well. At least I had 3 years of this already.

I may still get good MPG if I go for a 2.0 dci 175 RS or 2.0dci 150 CC. :wink:

I'm lucky to get above 44mpg, and thats on a good run! How the hell can anyone get over 50mpg?? I really struggle to get any higher? What am I doing wrong??

Do you have a rather large right foot? :wink:

Which engine have you got?

Rocket

16-05-2006, 09:08:22

I've got a 1.9dci and I do tend to travel between 90-100mph on my way to work, but even if I do go at 70mph I struggle to get over 50mpg! :twisted:

dickie

16-05-2006, 10:28:47

I get best MPG travelling between 60-70mph

I take it your workplace is at the end of a very long private road?! :wink:

Rocket

20-05-2006, 19:57:47

travel 60 miles to work and back each day, 30 each way down a bypass!

if i go up to 70 thought it drops right down to like 50, had 99.9 mpg out of it before on the m4 at 40mph lol

JamesScudder

28-09-2006, 11:42:53
