Good MPG?

[GavG60]

my trip computer reckons I'm getting between 14 and 18 mpg around town, and 29-30 on the motorway if I behave mytself (not very often)

is this right for a mk2 16v? (84,000 on the clock)

what is anyone else getting?

(optimax in my local is 84p per litre....costin me a fortune)

Doesn't sound right to me you should be getting more than that. I can get into the 40s on a motorway run. The MFA is either incorrect or you're running a bit rich by the sound of it. You should be getting into nearly mid 20s around town at least. I average about 33 mpg and most of that is around town and on 40 - 60 speed limits.

By the way, mines a mk1 cab but it's a 91 plate.

is it 16v?

I haven't seen 40 for a long time! lol
I get 25-30 round town usually.
Got 35/36 on the motorway on monday until I started going over 80mph That was running 95RON fuel. it's back on opitmax now.

mine's a 8v though.

is it 16v?

Good point No it isn't but I still think you should be a lot closer to my MPG than you are at the moment.

ive got a mk2 16v engine in my mk1.  Im happy if i get 32Mpg and i do alot of motorway driving!!!

the MFA talks complete bo!!ocks in my experience.

i get a consistant 36-37 mpg in a Mk3 16v on runs out of London and down to sussex coast.  sounds ok given the town/motorway/country split.

mines been stuck on 27.1 for the last month. i think its broken :'(

my MFA says that my car averages about 17mpg...

It used to tell me it was doing 31mpg which was about right but when it was doing that the clock was counting 1min every 20secs.

I have worked out that I get 27mpg and for my car thats not bad!

My MFA doesn't agree most of the time!
