how many MPG are u guys getting??

[goodcat]

i have a 1993 3.0lt ssr-x thats done 125k and the fuel consumption if fcuking diabolical!! i put in £30 earlier and after only about 60 miles the light was starting to come on again!!?? r they all this bad and is there anything i can do to improve MPG?
thanks.

£30 = approx 5 gallon. 60 miles on 5 gallon = 12 mpg! No way mate, even a hungry brute like my 3 litre returns around 25 mpg. If you're heavy footed you do get sh!t mileage, if not there's definitely something amiss!

I've got a 2.4 and get roughly 19mpg. Your's will be much the same.

As for improving it, lighter right foot and walk more?

[goodcat]

just went out n checked it. ive done 70 miles and the light is starting to come on now n then so i take it there is about 30 miles left in the reserve tank when the light comes on. so that will be 100 miles for £30!?
i get 100 miles with £20 in my 2.5d transit! no way can it cost another tenner in the surf!?
any suggestions what could be causing this bad MPG. and trust me i have been driving it like a women all week so i can see what sorta milage im getting as ive only just bought it.
cheers guys.

I'm pretty sure i have a fault....driving really easy on my 3,0L I'm getting about 18-19 mpg...over 2000 rpm something is leaking air/diesel...

[KERRSURF]

I did roughly 300 miles return journey and burned approx £60, mostly motorway.

so ur getting an extra 100 miles than i am for 60 quids worth. i know u said it was motorway miles but still! 100 miles is a BIG difference! any ideas any1 what could be wrong? it doesnt seem to be leaking anything?

I did the same trip as kerrsurf. I also got around 25 to 28mpg.

Give it a service all filters see if that helps.

I get around 20mpg. If I may say £30 to 60miles means nothing as the £30 is variable throughout the country. Try working it out properly.
ie. (how many) litres do you use per (how many) kilometers.

I don't care what mine does at the moment 'cos it sounds so damn good!

I don't want to seem pedantic (that's somebody elses job on here) but he asked about miles per gallon mate, not km per litre, that's why I did an approximate conversion. IE:-

£30 worth of fuel at, on average, £1.30 a litre = 23.08 litres which equates to 5.08 gallons, which divided into 60 miles = 11.81 mpg!

As I said it's a rough estimate but on the figures given it can't be more than a mile out either way.

I had my truck a 3.0l 2nd gen filled up to the brim and i got 240miles out of it but that wasn't to the fuel light so i think i may of got another 20m out of it before the fuel light came on.I got this milage by just taking it steady and not flooring it like i usually do so i think from now on i'll be driving at a bit slower speed and less revs.I was doing no more than 65 and normally around the 55 to 60 mph mark and at about 2100rpm. i was very surprised when i went to fill up and saw how many miles i actually did since the last fill up.The previous fill up was £72 and this week was just over £62 to full so if someone wants to work out the mpg on that.
Diesel is £1.33 at tesco here
