2.5 XM in the piccy, currently 105k miles.
Average 33.2 mpg, but did 43mpg average on a 3000km jaunt last Autumn.
Usually driven briskly...

Re: Post your 5000 mile or more average mph/mpg
Funnily enough I managed almost the same mpg doing 56mph as i did doing 80mph! I got it into a good cruise on the M6 so was feathering the throttle. Like you my town is horrendous for stop/start so daily its the usual 30's, I got about 750ish out of the last tankful before bottling it and filling back upZelandeth wrote:Forgot to add that some motorway driving earlier this year saw mid 50s out of my 1.9TD Xantia...better than the mid 30s I usually see...but then again Milton Keynes is about the worst place in the world for fuel economy with a network of 70mph dual carriageway roads with roundabouts every half a mile!

Re: Post your 5000 mile or more average mph/mpg
These are figures I can only dream about. I need to fuel the activa after about 280 miles if I'm lucky! Here's hoping the newly bought daily berlingo gets these sort of figures!

And it was bought for smiles so that is ok! It only gets one fill per month, unless I am going to meets. Most other duties are done in the other car.chinkostu wrote:But then you probably have a bigger smile in the activa! [emoji38]daviemck2006 wrote:These are figures I can only dream about.

Re: Post your 5000 mile or more average mph/mpg
Ouch! Now I remember why I gave up big (auto) petrol!
I've just done almost 3x that on the way up to Scotland, much of it at 120-130km/h.
Even my V8 3500S managed 24, 27 touring.

Re: Post your 5000 mile or more average mph/mpg
Oh long distance steady runs im sure she is fine but hammering around locally with a few sprints and excursions beyond 100 (Km/hr of course lol) does tend to make the beast drink, i just stumped up £100 to fill the tank so i will see what i get fill to fill now i have calmed down a bit. trouble is at 3-6k rpm and WOT it does have a good voice.
The 2.0i would do 21mpg over here so if i get above 20mpg i will be very happy, last time i checked when it first went on the road post-op i achieved 22mpg driving steadily which is not bad for all in town style traffic conditions.
