mpg on the motorway

[john_o]

few to many police on the motorway today , so on a long trip I decided to 'cruise' and see how good the car can be mpg wise.
Reset the trip on the average and tried each for around 50 miles motorway

@ 70 mph = 35 MPG
@ 80 mph = 32 MPG
@ 85 mph = 28 MPG

all speedo numbers btw

car at 1800 miles

how do these compare with everyone elses numbers?

remap sooner rather than later , as I miss cruise control 

and yes Im sad

140-230km/h for 200km - 14liters/100km

Well i dont do much motorway driving but around town, lately, im getting 24mpg     :embarassed:
I use to get 28-30mpg's in the past
dont know if this cold weather has any part to play in it......

Just got 35.8mpg on a 40 mile cruise, including a little town driving, at 115kph - 1100 miles on the clock

In town and traffic it's generally around 24mpg though...  No cold weather here, so having the a/c on and sunroof open zaps it a bit...

Went out in mine yesterday and averaged 14mpg

it will do as your car will spend longer warming up; thus using more fuel

averaging 24.7mpg town driving  :embarassed:

i do mostly town driving/short journeys, get between 22-24mpg. on motorway this week (200 mile round trip), got 33.5mpg doing between 70-80 all the way.

[maxamus]

So around 24mpg is the norm then......

The idea is to get the lowest mpg isn't it?
