mpg
 
What's the 180 like on the jungle juice? My dad has never really complained tbh, but was wondering what everyone else thinks? Some people say it's got a drinking problem!

Driven in a sensible manner you can get 30/32 mpg.Need to keep the revs below 3,000 for that though.

ive often wondered about that, i do about a 38 mile round trip every day ( i do 7 days in a row) and its not bad in the 110, usually about £30 per 7 days roughly. thats motorway driving.

the plan is to upgrade to the 180 maybe with my next car but the cost of petrol is the only worry :)

going from my little 1.4 rover that used to have £30 a week in petrol to the 180 has killed my back pocket quite a bit LOL like shroonie says they aint that bad when driven like an old man LOL on a run they are wicked on juice but round town they are a bit *****, first week i had it i put £115 worth of petrol in it LOL:rofl:

I put in £25 a week and i get to and from work and picking up the missus out of thats roughly about 70 miles but that is mostly on b roads so i kick the living crap out of it because its fun, took the car to donnington last year filled it up before leaving and got about 380 miles from that tank so take from that what you will

my RX7 done 6 mpg!!!!! can say the zs 180 is a little better lol

Hehe ... I used £37 (@ 93.9/L) of petrol in about 150 miles over the weekend. Not sure what the MPG is, but it's not good. :)

Usual would be 28-30MPG for the 'daily commute' when i drive rather more sedately.

all depends on how you drive it. On motorways if you gun it it fairly gets thru the juice. I just drove back from Gemmas down a windy A road, about 40 miles. I was at a fairly steady speed, cant say on a forum :D and it wasnt bad at all. Its a lot better round town than i expected tbh. overall the difference to my zr120 isnt nearly as bad as i thought
