Mpg

I did a mileage test and I get exactly 20 MPG in my 2.4 1989 surf on daily use. Is there anything I can do to get a little more?

Drive really slowly, or leave it at home

Short (and probably most acurate) answer,

No.

Five year average 22mpg.

On a recent trip to Wales, I got about 30mpg at a steady 60mph on the motorway, and about 10mpg at a steady 2mph on the wayfarer.strata florida ( mostly in 4WD low range)

The average was about 20 I think.That was carrying approx 250kg og gear in the back too.

I get average of 22mpg on my urban cycle.

I was going to say no but I then noticed that your profile. You have a manual box, Do you like lots of right boot? I thought the manual ones turned about 25 mpg?

Double check you haven't got any fuel leaks

So far I seem to be getting 22-24mpg on my commuting and 25-28mpg on longer runs using a diesel and veg mix.

I think the variance is mainly down to me using the loud pedal a bit harder at times.

The operating rev-range of the 2.4 is so narrow that I doubt you could get much better than 25mpg average no matter how you drive.

I'm about to embark on the SVO journey (after trying 50/50 mix for a few months). There's a WVO reclaimer here in Plymouth who do the leave it to sit for a month for you.

Now if only I could stop it smoking in the mornings...
