I get somewhere around 25mpg out of my current ZS180. My old green one used to do around 29mpg on the run back and forth the Hemel Hempstead. In those days I was filling up every other day. I managed to get that car down to single figures, though, on trackdays.

Mine has not been filled for about 1.5 months that must mean i am getting 100+mpg

Actually is cos it has been parked up with a suspect HG from putting in too much fuel with out the air to burn it... d'oh , but soon to go away and be fixed and back to have some fun...

According to scanguage full throttle instant reading is now in petrol territory of 2MPL or about 9mpg

Before i made major changes to it it was a 115 and i would get 38-55mpg depending on how eager i was to get to various locations...

Just filled up tonight and worked out the MPG for this week....


29.4????? MPG. I 'blame' all this nice cold air letting the fuel burn more efficiently.

Still got the piece of paper my wife did the calculations on too!

I have been travelling to Wimbledon from Watford (60 miles return) every day recently and getting through about £12 in fuel per day. Did the journey in my wife's rover mini the other day and only used £6 in fuel. Think that's about 20mpg for the ZS and 40 for the mini.
