bentert 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Just got into work driving fairly sensibly, and on the second run on my 25min drive to work, I managed to get 32.8MPG, I am determined to get this up to 35MPH, just need to get used to the car. So whats yourslike?I was told by a few people I would struggle getting 25MPG so to be getting above 30MPG I am totally chuffed. Link to post Share on other sites
cornishvr6 52 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 yesterday i managed 33.1 on the route to work, The other day i got 36.3 but it was coasting down a long hill into the coastal town where i work, It was the most boring drive to work ever Link to post Share on other sites
michael5556 247 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I usually get 20-25 mpg on a 10 miles drive but that's rush hour both ways and a bit of double carriage way where I tend too floor it after being sat in traffic Link to post Share on other sites
bentert 0 Posted January 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 I'd love to get 36.3 however it would also mean coasting and I want to at least get a smile on my face on the way to work! Link to post Share on other sites

ez_101 1 Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Im getting 16MPG at the mo.. 5mile trip but stop start traffic all the way, i will get it to 20mpg by the end of the week i am determined!!! Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 have you noticed an appreciable drop in mpg with the lower compression?Massive injectors just open for a shorter pulse for the same fueling and lowered compression has just taken away the very slightest edge of performance, so all good really while I'm waiting to finish it up.
