zs diesel owners hows your mpg?

[redzed]

i am now well recently anyway the owner of a lovely mk2 zs diesel, what do others get mpg wise or tank wise? i got 550 miles out of the last tank and wondered if that was good? little bit better than my 180! anyway pics to be added soon as ive been busy,

cheers

I dunno what others will say, but I reckon that's really good. Have you done anything to it enginewise - e.g. SDi's, remap or anything?

Mine has 153K on the clock, SDi's, a cone air filter, gutted cat and free-flowing back-box, and a DigiMAFAM set to "POWAHHH!" As a result I very rarely see as much as 500 out of a tank (but those miles ARE a lot of fun)!

I dont run it empty so can't say how many mile i get out the tank, but i consistently get 40-45mpg in my general driving style.
484 ->545miles theoretical miles if it was brimmed to empty based on 55L tank.

when I want to drive like miss daisy, or the road conditions force it, it can go up as high as 55-60 (tootling along at 50mph for miles on end with little throttle inputs for example, but it is not very often that i ever want to put myself through that for long periods of time!)

I filled up yesterday, after a run up to Southend.

£32.18 @ £1.349 lt. = £5.25 / gall

Bournemouth to Halfway House, going clockwise and back 288.

so that gives 54.86 miles per gallon.

Well that is a surprise, I thought it was mid 40's less it was just because it was all motorway.

It's not had a remap that I know of, it's got a digimafam well looks like one of those haven't investigated properly yet though, remap will be on the cards but not sdi's as I want a cruiser with good mpg, ill leave the speed to my 180 ;-)

53mpg for me, 80% motorway driving at speeds of 60mph.

[Enright]

How do you stay awake?!? :D

[dida4g]

I'm a truck driver, 60 is like speeding.

[Dan1971]

60 in a ZS is like 90 in anything else .....

[Dave]

Even with a remap and SDi injectors, i can still get 50+mpg on a good motorway run.

Even just pottering around, i still get 40+mpg.

scrap my mpg, moved it today and its not back up to the full mark. I'll top it right up and recalculate.

Oh, anything over 7.5 tonne is limited to 90kmh which is 56mph.

[peterzs]

right re-calculated my mpg, comes out at 38.23.mpg.

Nearly all motorway miles, apart from a few laps around Goodwood, and that was Parade laps!!!

But its the smiles per miles I enjoy!!!
