Fuel Ecomony (yet again)

As is very topical at the moment, just thought I would share......

Car: Mondeo 1.8 TD (95 N reg)

Went to full up last night, after driving in a very economical manner for the whole of this tank. Trying to keep the rev out of the turbo range, etc etc.

52 litres at a total of £67!!! £67 to fill up the damn car. Then I looked at the milage completed since last fill up: 522 miles.

Not too bad, nice simple maths, 10 miles to the litre. 10 x 4.55 = 45.5 mpg!
I think thats ok when you think it's an old deisel, with 177,000 on the clock. Plus most of the milage is commuting on main road, with quite a few stop / starts.

So she's not a bad old girl after all!! Very pleased with her performance, just wincing at paying for the fuel.

I think the only way I would beat 522 miles on a tank is to just spend all my time on the motorway at 60mph!

yep its surprising how quickly the miles add up i've stopped using my car and use my bike 85% of the time and its saving me about £15 a week oops talking of which its time for work

lol i have a Golf R32 cost me £75 to fill up and i get about 200 miles, if i go on the motorway probly get 350(ish).
