34mpg

ITG Maxogen.
RS Tuning Remap.
De-cat.
RS192 Exhaust.
Mixture of driving but I dont try to drive economically.

I reset the trip computer when cruising at 70mph on the M-way in 5th and was getting around 50 mpg ! Then I once reset it at 5500rpm in 3rd and was getting less than 20 :( !

Sitting at 33.8 at the moment on Vpower driving around the doors.
Think i managed approx 48mpg when i picked the car up, motorway miles.
Best motorway miles i can manage now, nearly 2yrs later, is 43mpg.

i did the same the other day on the motorway with CC on at 70mph and was getting around 50 mpg. Now after a few days of town driving and a couple of B road blasts its sitting at about 31 mpg.

34.5 on my first recorded full tank of fuel.

On the trip it said 35. This 182 trip is more accurate than the 172.

As for resetting it, there is a little black know on the dash by the rev counter, push that in and it will reset your figures.

The best I've had was a trip from North Wales to Edinburgh when I averaged 40mpg, and that was driving around the speed limits and still overtaking other cars on A roads. I've also recently had 35mpg on a trip from Glasgow to Fort William and then to the lakes, and then wasn't hanging around in any way.

Typically I average 30-32mpg, but I do quite a few shorter trips, and trips on smaller twisty welsh roads.

Just checked mine and it reads 50mpg since last reset (previous owner) #-o

Wow maybe we all have this to look forward to. Just another 132K till I get 50mpg lol.

I get average 37mpg on long runs and 34 around town.

Thanks for the feedback! 30+ average isn't at all bad! Does it go around the 20's when you floor it?

I haven't reset the trip for 3 tanks now, and I'm running around at 36.8mpg. Maybe I need to put my foot down more often!
Standard apart from a Miltek catback

Getting about 32 according to the trip but from my last MK2 clio the trip was optamistic by about 10%.

With my 172 Cup, I took it to the 'Ring, enjoyed the german roads, did six laps on the ring and still got 31mpg on the trip.
