It dosen't matter what the mpg is, just enjoy the drive.

Yea i like that answer !!! LOL

Does air con make a big difference to the MPG ???

[hawkwind]

It doesnt seem to matter how i drive it, i always seem to be around the 23mpg mark.

[Doc Martin]

Best I've had was 24 MPG, worst was 21 MPG

[AndyLala]

22.29mpg on the last fill...

869KM on 110ltrs @ 94.9p / ltr... ouch...

[da SLUG man]

never worked it out... seems to do less miles if i park up with the heater on all night though.

1st gen classics rool ok.

Fuel Additives

Anyone heard of Millers fuel stuff ? I got some from a usaf guy at Mildenhall ,apparently it is a British brand but the yanks swear by it, I have to say even after experimenting ,my first thousand miles has produced 26+mpg

[trevdowle]

Is it possible that my speedo has been converted to MPH along with the new dial ????

My mechanic says he has a good diesel additive that helps fuel consumption but will cost £30

All city driving and no i dont have a heavy right foot....

Its almos5t certain that you odometer is still in kilometers. I don't think its legal to change it, as it would technically be 'clocking' the vehicle.......

Yea i like that answer !!! LOL

Does air con make a big difference to the MPG ???

Yes it does. Probably as much as 10%, and its the same for you heated rear window. Your heater and anything electric will decrease your MPG in fact.

[trevdowle]

Theres your problem; thrash it once in a while. Even with gas and water off and driving like a complete hooligan I've never seen less than 26mpg.

I suspect that if you're thrashing it, you are possibly misreading miles and kilos on the odometer. 26 MPG if read as 26 KPG equates to 16.2 MPG. This is a more likely reading (if as you say you drive like a complete hooligan)!

[RSA Surfer]

At best in the past month I got 18MPG down to 15MPG.

[RSA Surfer]

At best in the past month I got 18MPG down to 15MPG. Town or country not much difference
