Stewart10 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Travelled up to Milton Keynes on Friday night from Plymouth and although I was doing 71 miles an hour most of the way it used more fuel than it seemed to last time out. Is this likely to be down to the o2 sensors? Or should i just slow down? I am driving an n/a Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 (edited) your getting 30 mpg........ how can that be bad ??? Based on 1.30 per litre 1.30 x 4.54 (litres>gallon) = 5.90 45.00 fuel put in divide 5.90 price per gallon = 7.6 gallons 230 divide 7.6 = 30 mpg. You cant really moan at that Edited April 3, 2011 by scotty71 (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stewart10 Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 Thanks for the maths guys, I thinks it's because I got there and back on 80quid last time, but it doesn't sound as bad now Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

General Banter Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Mate it's just cost me £70 to do 200km in an N/A, now I think my sensors ARE on the way out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stewart10 Posted April 3, 2011 Author Share Posted April 3, 2011 It's a good call that one Rog it might actually account for a couple of quid or so, I think the rest was down to speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snake Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 fill the tank ,set the trip,drive it a hundred miles, fill the tank and work out the mpg . The price of the fuel makes no difference to the mpg. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know the price of fuel makes no difference to mpg snake (hi by the way:D), but Stewart originally said he had spent more on the same trip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cje001 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 What MPG do people get on TTs? Cost me £82 to fill up first tank, approaching 200miles with 1/3 left. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scotty71 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 What MPG do people get on TTs? Cost me £82 to fill up first tank, approaching 200miles with 1/3 left. When I went on the Newcastle Tunnel Run I went from Derbyshire to Newcastle return. I put 85 pounds in and did 380 miles (all motorway) 85 pounds on a full tank bit n bobing Iwould usually get between 260-300 so yours seems about right. Im TT BPU Where in staffs are you mate Im on the Derbys / Staffs border here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JS2004 Posted April 3, 2011 Share Posted April 3, 2011 Not bad, I got 22 mpg approx in an N/A driving to Newcastle then to Durham, from Hull. approx 166 miles and cost £46 at the pump, 1.36p/l - my math shouldnt be too far off. I didnt keep at a steady 70 though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
