Blackie Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I have been driving like Miss Daisy for the past week or so to see what MPG i get. I have got 130 miles to the lower half of the tank, Approx £40. Does this sound right? Its short ish runs (2 miles a time) and up a bloody big hill, also I have a few engine mods. Surely thats rubbish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dibbleyuk Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 sounds about right to me mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miko_supra Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 i work that out as around 18mpg...so yeah sounds about right for short granny runs...no matter how slow you drive round town if its only ever short runs its probably when the supra's mpg is at its worse, although i managed 11.5 mpg last weekend, but that was just pure foot to the floor and worth every penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRalphMan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I normally get 320ish miles to a full tanks, so sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supradan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I used to get about 180 on a full tank as its used for short journeys and spirited runs hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndrewOW Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I tend to drive like Miss Daisy around town too, and I go through half a tank in a week, which equates to less than 100miles. Then if I go on a spirited drive out of town somewhere I get great MPG, so my advice is to get a bicycle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Doing a fair bit of 'relaxed' motorway driving recently, I've consistently managed 190 miles out of the top-half of the tank AND I don't know about you but, with the price of petrol now, I don't try to get the tank completely full at the pump any more - the first time the trigger shuts off, that's it, I hang up (after taking particular care to make sure there's no drops left in the nozzle) and pay!

DodgyRog Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 I got 366 miles on a tank 2 weeks ago( warning light still not on), was very surprised to be honest. Driving generally gently, around 65 on the motorway, except the blast in convoy down to SW motor show:eyebrows: I hate pricey fuel, its boring;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 Sounds right. I get 250 miles to a tank driving to my work and back. If i take it on the motorway and drive normally i get around 300-350 (depending on right foot). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 When was the oxygen sensor last renewed? This has a big effect on mpg's. With the high price of fuel now, perhaps it's time for another O2 sensor group buy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hadyn Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 £50 of V-Power at 123p a litre does me just over 200 miles , which equals 21 mpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordy07 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I dont know what i get but its not usually good. £20 lasts no time. The best i got was when i picked the car up in derby,filled the tank and drove home to glasgow.Bout 220mls i think and i still had 1/4 tank!

Stevie72 Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 350-380 to a tank when driving conservatively. 200 when flooring it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henk Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Trust me, I am the Club resident Miss Daisy! I get over 320 out of a J-Spec tank of V-Power easy, each and everytime! (Except at The Nurburgring of course) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevie72 Posted June 29, 2008 Share Posted June 29, 2008 I think the uk spec manual says 30 plus odd for rural driving at 56mph, but i think that's optimistic unless you drive on cruise and don't touch the pedal! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
