MPG ...never been anywhere near this figure before?

[Ippon]

Wow .... 54 reg 180 .....just done 330 mainly motorway miles, driving 60 MPH, with some occasional enthusiastic green lane driving (to/from the MWay) .... and filled up at a cost of £54 .... the unleaded was £1.28 .... so I reckon 9 gallons used so an amazing 36mpg ..... I've never been anywhere near this figure before?
I filled up to one click, then topped up to the next litre .... the fuel tank shows full ... can't help thinking I didn't fill up to capacity

Last week I managed 346miles. Was well chuffed with that as some weeks I barley manage 300.

That's good going! I've never had more than 350 miles from a tank in a 180.

[MG mad]

We used to do manage that pretty easily in ours, cruising at 80mph or so on the autobahns. Cruising at 100 and it dropped to about 32-33.

I managed 400 miles to a tank once. Could done a little bit more miles as it wasn't totally empty yet.

Managed 37MPG on a drive up to Scotland 2 years ago. It is very possible on mainly motorway cruise.

Do you all work as drivers for Miss Daisy by any chance?

Never saw 300 out of any of mine - more like 250-260 and I spent most of my trips on the M'way. Saying that - getting about 23 out of the ST at the moment .... :(

I too managed 400 miles once, driving over night on quiet motorways aiming for the best possible consumption, normally I worry if I don't make 200.........

You don't own a v6 for fuel economy people!

[grimmy]

I got around 400 on my way up to Inverness and driving around the black isle now for those not in the know that is a mixture of A and B roads with very occasional dual carriageways.I think.it's getting more fuel efficient the older it gets.

Mines pretty much always 25mpg during my commute, Id be damn lucky to see 300 miles out a tank.

Hence why im looking at a diesel to commute in and save the ZS for weekends.

My old hatch did Yorkshire to Cornwall in 3/4 of a tank although i dont trust the fuel guage in a 180 :)

[Skillen]

Got 40 on a trip in mine :) frugal!

God it was boring though.

Got 35 on the same trip the other day too. M6 then A14/A11 manchester to Norwich.

[Ippon]

Just done 272 miles and put in 9.7 gallons = 30 MPG ... well impressed again

[Alan.F]

some of you will remember when i fitted a derv box in my 180 i was getting close to 550miles per tank but the bearings kept going in them.

[tallgeese]

It may be a lowly 120 but gosh darn I hit a little over 400miles on my last tank but it was all motorway miles ;)

[Dan1971]

Can't get any less than 47mpg on Tesco standard unleaded out of my Fiesta no matter how hard I try ... ;)

Even got 20p off a litre the other day on the clubcard.

[Maxfly]

Best I had was 37 -38mpg and that was regular semi angelic driving from Motherwell to Inverness before I got the house up here. Normal day to day I reckons 25 would work out the average though I would expect this has improved as the car generally is not drivin for the work commute anymore so comes out for longer journeys and taking the wee fella to nursery.

[redzed]

I've had 420 odd miles out of my 180, got over 400 regularly when I was travelling up north with work doing 60-70 mph

Skillen - where did you fill up on the 24th June?

Probably somewhere on the motorway. The 40mpg trip was from Manchester to Norwich so probably filled up on the way back at Lymm services or earlier.

It's called road trip mate. I've stopped using it now but it was good.
But I have 2 180's so I really can't be checkin the fuel lol!

[LukeZS96]

[R8NMG]

There are good days and there are bad days. 30 miles daily round trip commuting, getting an overall average of 29.6MPG.
