50mpg from my 182!

[n0rm]

good stuff pep.....

its deffo doable folks, lil blondie was averaging 54 mpg on the was to trax this year, sitting at 60!

 

[ForceIndia]

Mines at 37. I drive it sensibly most of the time, as the majority of the time Im driving, its dark and wet!! And as Im not 100% used to the car, I dont want to 'play' in those conditions.
Im at half a tank now, and Ive done 180ish miles

You have some incredible roads on your doorstep, go from Tewks to Eastnor Castle to Malvern and back. :race:

Time is the most valuable commodity in the world and it cannot be replaced.

Balls to £1.27 in saved fuel.

Good work though.

EXACTLY. Could not have put it better.

 

[Pep]

EXACTLY. Could not have put it better.

I agree too, only reason for driving slow was i had an hour to lose, why drive there at 90mph and sit around bored, so just made the journey last longer.

I do see what ya mean, But i drive 50 miles a day in my 182 (50mph speed limits), and raging it loads means more trips to the petrol station. Over the year I'l save lots of money and they i can blow it on a trip to the Ring
Well half a trip to the ring lol

Yeh I know there are a lot of nice roads near Malvern, Im not too familiar with the roads round Eastnor castle though, I'll have to check it out!!

I just drove 500miles at 75-85mph and averaged 36mpg. Well pleased with my first drive.

 

[Peperami]

400 miles mixed motorway and b-roads today, average of 36mpg.

 

[Stephene]

400 miles mixed motorway and b-roads today, and a car park with a skilled driver, average of 36mpg.

:rasp:

 

[kully]

wow ........ compared to 20 mpg for me :S

 

[MistaT]

I get 40mpg regularly, measured. Can get 45 over a tank but real hard work. Had 55 odd over 20 miles after filling up, but that was an extraordinary run back.

Good effort

 

[Ronnie R]

23mpg in my 172... i think its broke

 

[simon135]

Beginning to think mine is too. Was averaging 28mpg over the last 6500+ miles but the missus has been driving it for the last 3 weeks and it's nudged into the 29s. Perhaps I need to start thinking about the environment a bit more or something !

 

[shiyan]

when people on cliosport refer to mpg, is that using UK gallons (4.546 litres) or US gallons (3.785 litres)?

I'm usually around 6.5~7.5 litres per 100km

 

[Zygalski]

Not lies, just careful driving!
I'm guessing the lost weight helps but just drove nice and smoothly.

How so?
Have you been on a diet Pepsi?

 

[john182rs]

I believe ya joe. I used to get 45-50mpg doing 60mph on long journeys. Now all i get is 25 around town and 32 on long journeys doir between 60 and 70 mph

Its UK. Be a bit strange if we were using American measurements.

 

[Paul RN]

27 mpg, but sadly that's just backwards and forwards in town traffic

 

[Android]

37mpg in my 1.2

thats fucked

 

[koi]

37mpg in my 1.2

thats f**ked

Time to get a 1*2 :rasp: Used to get 44mpg from the 1.2!

Getting one

 

[Pep]

People with rubbish MPG should change the pre cat lambda sensor, mine was gone and only got 28mpg on a steady 70 mile run on thursday. Changed it now and I'm getting 33mpg around town.

 

[Dafthead]

Economy is for pussies

 

[Dink]

one word

Tailgating?

works like a charm got well over 55mpg in my 1.6 clio on a trip from jct 26 to jct 49 of the m4 and back again lol

 

[iimushroomzii]

35s the highest ive seen so far in my meg,

 

[Kemixx]

I average 32-32 in my 172 - work trips and evenings/weekend. If I was doing just work trips i'd get about 35-37 but then it gets knocked back down to 32 by the end of the week because of weekend fun and evenings. I could probably get about 38ish to and from work if I really drove like a *****.

 

[Jamie]

I get between 35 and 39mpg. That is on MY calculations at each fill not the trip which from my results does over-read.

 

[markhinton]

People are getting really low MPG on here! My 172 returns 35+ (usually 38mpg) averagely with a spirited driving style, and today on my way to and from work I managed to get an average of 52mpg over the 30 mile around trip.

Best I've had it reading so far is 96.7mpg (my friend took a picture actually! I'll try and dig it out)... it was cheating though, I reset as I was going down a hill and we took the picture as it leveled out! lol

 

[will.clio!]

i get about 30 mpg driving to work and colledge but thats mainly in traffic, alot of stop starting, but on the motorway if i drive carefully i can easy get 50+ mpg, reset the mpg computer rolling down a slip road and it came up with 90something mpg then i accelerated gently and it dropped to about 50 again .

 

[Andyman]

My top record is also 54 mpg at 60mph exactly the same as someone previously posted on a fairly modded N/A engine (cams, inlets, head work, etc etc)

Returned a average of 43mpg sitting at a pretty constant 80 mph last night on the private runway.

 

[Brett]

I can get 55-57mpg on the motorway at a steady 50 and thats in a 1.2.

There realy isn't much difference in fuel economy in the clio range unless its a Vee or a dci.

If you're going to cheat, at least do it properly. :approve:

The next screen, which tells you how many miles you have left before you run out of fuel read 3,000 miles. lol Only had about half a tank left too. :clown:

 

[Mells]

I cant get mine over 44mpg no matter how I drive it on a long run.

It only drops to 41 when tanking it 80+

 

[Leeshez]

Most i have ever had is 41.9.

 

[JON13S]

mine always read high.... used to say i was doing 36 when giving it the beans 43 at 70 on the motorway.... the display lies.... work out how many miles you do to a full tank.

 

[Ian_182]

If they were actually that good then renault would advertise it like that.

 

[CLIO-Si]

1.6 16V AND I GET LIKE 27-31MPG,I SEEM TO FIND THAT BETWEEN 60 AND 70 IS BETTER THAN SITTING AT 50??
CAR HAS CAT BACK S/S WITH STANDARD AIRBOX,

 

[Ali]

Roffle! Reno MPG reading is about as accurate as Crails 1/4 timing equipment.

 

[andrewuk]

i remember going to birmingham and back which is 120 miles eachway for 25quid so 12.50 each way cant be bad?

 

[Andyman]

If they were actually that good then renault would advertise it like that.

They do, 38mpg. Of course average is just that plus tuning, a well worn in engine and well serviced will all have a effect
