With fuel prices on the increase and me running the new engine I thought I'd do a check as to how efficient the engine is, especially as it's only running a mild ECU mapping.

37.7mpg on a motorway+fast road run, with half the motorway run being err.. around 90mph.

I thought that was pretty good for a 2.0l engine

I did a few tests in the Ovlov over the weekend. 35-40mpg at 70mph, which I think it's quite good for a 2.5

Single figures are achievable though it you give it some beans

I get between about 35 and 40MPg depending where I go between fillups. I do a lot of mway driving but also a lot of town stop-start so it kinda averages out about 37

[GJUK]

Mine avarages at about 24-28mpg as daily drive to work is back roads and A roads...That and I like to play......

1.8 Escort only does about 35 mpg ('A' roads mostly), the CB500 does about 60 to 65 mpg if being sensibleand the 125cc bike does about 90 to 100. Mostly use the CG125 for commuting (15 miles each way) to save a few quid on roads that are slow anyway.

Usually get 22-25mpg on the daily grind to work.

850 perchance?

i get 600 miles from a 55l tank - about 45(ish) mpg. not bad for a tank

[dave87]

I worked out that even riding 'sportily' on my varadero I got 69.9 mpg (over a complete tank), not bad considering it revs to 13k

[Shad]

850 perchance?

Yup. 2.5 5 cyl jobby. Bit boring (for me) but it's big and comfy and will tow the CRX on its trailer

[BenW]

Dad gets max 30 (Normally about 27) from his 2.5 V6 Auto Mondeo (Current gen)
Mum gets about 50 from her 1.8 TDCi Focus

[SilentDeath]

27mpg from my 11 year old 1.6SI fiesta.. mostly driving in heavy traffic on way to work.. where i might once or twice get above 20...

Please see bottom of http://forums.hexus.net/showthread.php?t=74633 and tell me whats wrong...

I'm gonna wire up my fuel comp this weekend if I get the chance and get really anal about economy driving. I found some 95RON at 95p and caught myself thinking "My, that's cheap"

My ole 2L averages 35mpg. Big roads 'n' motorways as lowe was describing it's somewhere over 40 (and cheaper to run than taking out the Diesel Skoda, as it happens). Problem with this one is the 4x4 with shorter final drive don't make it that nice on the motorway.

[BenW]

Isn't 95RON just normal unleaded?

[hitman67]

I get between 26-45 depending on how heavy my foot feels, which I don't think is bad for a 2.5 V6. Ok it's a Diesel, but it's still a V6

[Konan555]

Isn't 95RON just normal unleaded?

Yep

[chrislusty]

Im getting around 30 - 32mpg on a 1.8mondeo,

this is short journeys through town and back on forth to work, which is dual carriageway, but 4 roundabouts within four miles of each other!
