So fuel is sold in Litres, right - but we work our distances in Miles, in the UK, anyways. So how the hell do we work out the MPG figure?

Well, I found this calculator thingy and thought it'd be handy for those like me who cannot be bothered to work it out the hard way.



I did mine after going 130 miles on £10 of diesel, about 9 litres - 65.5Mpg, not bad for a modified 2L diesel

hmm 45mpg apparently, that cant be right.

averaging at 22mpg..... oh the joys of city driving

I've always used this one...

figures tally, I get around 24.5

is that in the v6

how can you tell?

I used to get 27ish

lol i got 28.6 last week with carefull driving and about 70% motorway, round town is actually too scary to work out

and i used to get about 34/35mpg out of the 2.0l so was abit of a shock when i got the v6, about 100miles less per tank but i wouldnt go back to the 2.0l its so much more fun in the v6

I've probably dropped 30 mile per tank on the 2l gen 1, which, let's face it aint too bad, particulaly since I'm still getting used to the car and it's been icy.

its swings and round abouts.........when i had the 2.0l gen 3 i used £10 more going down to brum trying to keep up with macker but when i went down in the v6 i used less and did slightly more miles

im getting 26 mpg in my 2.0l with a mix of driving

www.fuelly.com let's you keep track of your mpg for the entire life of your car, if you're that interested. It also means you can share it with other people, like my signiture

ive dropped 120 miles a tank from my gen 1 sometimes i wonder

got 29 on the last tank

In fact, the site is very useful, I get most of my advice from the articles on there

Same one as Lidl then... Might have a nose around on there if you reckon the site is pukka...

Androo - Turbodiesel is the future, mate. Look at those 3.0V6 twin-turbo models from Vauxhall etc. Same or greater torque as our modded V6, half the emissions (therefore lower tax) and similar hp. Shame they don't sound the same though, and a bigger shame Hyundai never thought to stick a sorted TDCi into the Coupe.

woo hoo!!! 24.4 mpg!!! up from 22.5 last year! go on the beast!

WHAT?!

V6's get more than that

I think someone needs introducing to 3rd gear and above lol

yeah its kinda bad isnt it???just as well i only do 9000miles a year or i would be flat out broke!!

oh so are you only doing very short journeys?

thats really bad for a 1.6 paul - shouldnt it be another 10+?

i do about the same mileage and I haven't dropped below 26, in fact I had a week at 26 then I was back up at a low of 28mpg, have you done a service recently?

about 6k ago! it has always been this bad tho.its not a recent dip been fairly consistant over the last two and a half years

all I can say is don't buy a V6 lol

i wonder how much i would get then. any1 with a V6 wanna swap for a week, purely scientific purposes obviously

Thats a real good result given the really crummy public highway layout - up and down the 'box like a man possesed, I was. Poxy Berlingo vans

Tea made it worthwile tho

haha i put in 30 each go! a tenner wouldnt get me from one pump to the next!

i remember once i put in a fiver, was all i had on me, ya back in da station da next day!!!

haha a fiver with your racing civics that must have lasted like all of a mile with your impressive fuel consumption

haha u would get somethin redicklus like 5

good news! started driving a new way to work and mpg has nearly doubled!!! its now 35.23 mpg!!!!happy days!

wow thats impressive!!! which way u going now??

last tank of fuel - 26.4mpg, highest since the conversion!

general usage i get 20-24mpg though

Turbocharged it mate

thats quite impressive so,
u should get one paul it might help u along!!
