Hi all,

My best MPG obtained in my 1991 G-Limited N/A with a Mongoose and a de-cat was:

1st Sept
Odometer 126728
Distance 450
Refill 48.16 Shell V-Power
MPG 42.47

I use an App called fuel buddy and my average over 18599miles is 33.04MPG

Worst ever was 15.7mpg

I don't know if this is a competition type thread but I've decided to park my MR2 after 3 months. I've counted MPG since I got in order to diagnose any problems and my results are below. I do drive with a heavy-ish foot, 100 miles a week are motorway, 100 miles are a-roads and 100-miles are tooting round town (yeah, I do a lot of miles... hence why I've parked it). 1995 UK Spec N/A 3SGE.

Apart from the three weird results I work out 29 MPG dead on. Seems fairly low, wonder if thats the car or my driving?

That looks pretty good - you're getting over 30mpg reasonably often, can be affected by brake binding, tyre pressures, etc.

I'm shocked by this massively, but I did a fair few miles last week and ended up with 527Km's out of the tank = 327 miles, 45 litres to fill back up again.

33mpg Rev2 Turbo.

I put three gallon of V-power in my non turbo a week and average 120 miles with a mixture of motorway and city driving. On that basis it would appear to be doing close to if not exactly 40mpg.

Happy with that

You need to work it out properly by filling up to full then working out exact litres and mileage done.

Probably do but it's rare I actually need to put more than half a tank it. Doesn't do enough miles to work that out.

Surely if you put a full tank in it then you'll just have to fill it half as often? Haha

dpeg..... What engine do you have in your a6?i have the 1.9tdi and never get less than 45....55 is easily achievable.... My rev 1 is around 34

Another fill up tonight.

Rev3 turbo modded, 245 miles, 37.44l to brim = 29.75mpg

All consisting of 13.7 mile journeys averaging 30 minutes, whilst boosting when the road allows. Oh and Santa Pod launch practices on deserted country roads

As you can see, mixture of roads (but avoids schools and many, many traffic lights! The direct route (through Pelsall) can take an extra 15 minutes! If there are no road works

Just finished my first fuel consumption test after fitting my 1MZ-FE V6 and it returned me 30mpg , which I am more than happy with. Small amount of town driving, some urban to work and a long run down to Norfolk this weekend.

No mpg readings but I was so surprised I will put on here...

150 miles Swindon to Cardiff and back on £20 vpower. Rev 2 turbo. That will do me. Normally get about 70miles for £20 around town.
