850t5r mpg

dan_burdock · Aug 3rd, 2004, 06:49

Just wondering what every one was getting mpg. I am currently recording 24.5 to 25.1 on my T5R which I think is quite good since its a 62 mile trip a day to work, most of which down country roads. My hours a work have changed, since I set off at 5.30 am instead of 7.30 am the mpg has shot up in the past couple of weeks from 18-19mpg. Just shows what traffic build up does. The highest I have ever recorded was 41.2mpg on a run down cornwall at 3.00am, last summer, bliss.

I think you are doing well - I drive in sports mode most of the time and mph is low, but good fun !!!

40.3 average from south london m25 to peterborough. had to stay off the turbo as much as possible though and keep the speed to 56mph.

27 mpg usually and low thirties cruising on the motorway. I have always considered my car to be very economical considering its performance.
