[sarge16v]

mine is going on for about 24.6 mpg avge:
and 40.2 mpg one the motorway

 

[sarge16v]

am hoping everyone elses is the same

 

[AndyT23]

Sounds fairly normal to me, I get about 30-35ish commuting, part town work part country lane. On a run get 40+ doing 50-70mph, 70+mph and the figure starts to drop off towards 35. I reckon it needs a 6th cog for economical motorway cruising!

[imperial04]

I managed to get 46.7mpg from the 182 going into london!!! I have a picture to prove it... just trying to dig it out of my phone

 

[mr bognor]

20 ish

 

[fUbAr]

30ish

 

[Lagerlout]

32 Normal driving.

Got 38.8 on a bit of a Motorway run today. CC set to 80 ish for most of it.

If you do 70 or less you can piss 40mpg.

 

[Wizbit]

I haven't reset my clock in months and in that time I have done one or two motorway runs, commuted into work, been stuck in a queue for an hour, had the air-con on and given it a load of thrash down the A606...

...and I am currently on 36.2mpg - that's exclusively with Shell V-Power.

 

[Josie172cup]

i do mainly b roads and average 30 - 31

 

[Dafthead]

About 43 combined

 

[T-Bag]

I reckon there should be a sticky thread on her entitled "average miles per gallon and cambelt" seen as there's a thread about them every day

34-39 depending how I drive. Sometimes a bit lower if I reset it then rag the s**t out of it. I'm not sure if it's accurate as mine seems to always but much higher than other people.

 

[Simon_172]

im getting 36.7 normal use and about 44 motorway

 

[cat171]

*Another* what's your mpg on your 172 thread

 

[siintheditch]

the best i've had was around 42-43 mpg, at the moment about 34 around town. heard somewhere that if on the motorway 67mph is the optimum speed to get good mpg

 

[Gumby]

45/46 on the motorway? I struggle to get that out of an E320 CDI!

 

[theduck]

cant get mine to average below 40mpg ever! get 45mpg short trips to the station and back. 50mpg on longer drives and 60+mpg on the motorway

 

[realnumber 1]

Get about 30-34 on my commute which is mainly town. Drove very carefully the other week and got the same drive up to 39 .5 over a week period.

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

32 all day every day

 

[FlameR172]

27mpg

 

[clairemae]

40+ but i do have a little 1.2..

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

Anyone clarify if the Ph1 weighs more than a Ph2?

 

[gobblegobble]

About 25, but then I just got it.. I'm allowed to play

 

[mr bognor]

Anyone clarify if the Ph1 weighs more than a Ph2?

ph 1 172 = 1059 kg

ph 2 172 = 1110 kg

Beautiful

 

[Hixle]

Not reset the clock for months but on 38 atm

 

[walshy172]

I managed to get 37MPG but thats because ive been driving like a pansy due to the car having a drink problem LOL and with the price of fuel not much choice. If i give it some beans it goes down to about 32 ish but I rarely abuse it.

 

[theduck]

ph 1 172 = 1059 kg

ph 2 172 = 1110 kg

the 172 Cup weighs less than the ph1 172, think its 1030kg or there abouts

 

[tomdbomb61_djtj]

50.9 ATM, which is disappointing, although I have been getting bored of going slowly, so been planting the 1.5 a bit LOL

 

[munz_clio]

always at 26ish

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

ph 1 172 = 1059 kg

ph 2 172 = 1110 kg

the 172 Cup weighs less than the ph1 172, think its 1030kg or there abouts

Yeah i know the cups lighter, i was just talking about the diffrence between the Ph1 and Ph2 (FF):rasp:

 

[Alan]

24-28mpg, tho 28mpg is driving like most of the fairys on here who cry about their 172/182 doing less than 34..

 

[AlexS]

I got 82 miles from a tenner, a proper hot hatch doesn't need a trip computer! I guess thats about 40mpg though.
However I lupowned a TT 180 on a dc last night and the fuel light came on after 40 miles (again from a tenner)

You stated in your for sale that the GTi does 0-60 in 7.7 i noticed?

Gospel or non-fiction?

Pretty much gospel if not a touch quicker matey, various have got slightly beter times IIRC..

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

The only reason i ask is my old VTS stated 7.7 by parkers and 7.4 by citroen and lower again by EVO mag.

I raced a few and whilst it wasnt miles away it was relativley quicker off the mark i found.

Both cars (mine anway) were stock from what i could tell!
