Around Town london that is, I was getting 17-18 MPG, on a MWay 30-32 top wack 

If your given it some then its less than the above???

:| hmmm im only 20 and the cost of the car is ok insurance for the ed30 is high but that all ok but just trying to keep all the rest of the costs down as much as i can!

i do like 25 miles up and down a A road everyday. i no im not going to get massive amounts of mpg but still

I do roughly 1000 miles per month, and i average 31mpg. On a motorway run i can get up to 37mpg. I've got a relatively light foot but i do give it the beans from time to time, usually averaging 20-25mpg on those runs.

Thats a mixture of small a/b-roads. I spend about £160 per month on fuel which i dont consider to be too bad.

The Ed30 is not a cheep car to run as far as petrol goes, it was costing me 60 quid week !! But if you want perfomance then it has to be th ED30 its a great car trust me!! I do miss mine

That looks like a great car, but one thing i would check out is the colour of the wheels. Mine isnt an ED30 but i thought they had darker coloured alloys?

Im sure the ED30 owners will confirm shortly.

I've just been for a drive to take the girlfriend to a party, so wide A roads and some tight B roads, 25 mile round trip and i averaged 37.5mpg. I was taking it fairly easy, but there was 2 overtakes in there and i was at 60-65 on the wider roads. AND this is using normal 95RON fuel as i have tried BP Ultimate and found i actually got worse economy!




My previous car was a Fiat Panda 100HP, and i had to thrash it everywhere just to make it move, and that only averaged 39mpg!
