Worst MPG so far ?
« on: October 08, 2010, 10:59:19 AM »
As a antithesis to DF's "best MPG so far" topic, I thought I'd start this one  :devil:

My average over 625 odd miles is currently 28.4mpg
My short trip average on a hard drive is about 26mpg
My worst (but doesn't count) was at a Brands track day, once I remembered to reset my trip, and was 12.8mpg over 42 miles.

Others???

35.2 for a tank - never putting that Murco crap in again (it was supposed to be premium as well)  :thumbd:

Yea but the instant reading is so stupid, take you foot off the gas, it goes to 99.9 MPG, floor it, and it goes to 11.3

The best/most accurate way to measure fuel consumption is the Trip MPG reading  :thumb:

Averaged 11.3mpg over the cat and fiddle the other night, did a midnight run with full beams and fogs on, handled it great.

Got a decent time over it, about 8 seconds off my Clio 200 time and 20 seconds off my Megane r26 time.

Abarth surprised me with how well it handled when pushing it hard.

I guess I should be a bit lighter on the pedal ;-)

I get about 25 most of the time round towns, and the lowest I got was the 11.3 round knockhill for a full trackday, went through a full tank, plus 3 and a half 20litre jerry cans... 4th and 5th gears are for losers :P

I really can't see how that's possible? That's track kind of consumption, and i'm assuming you don't track it that much? And i'm assuming you're not stupid enough to speed everywhere either!  ;)

For a whole month? Without driving like a nut job, i can't see how this possible. Even me and my occasional "blasts" the worse i've had over a tank is 25 MPG...

I got mine to 19 on a tank once for hard accel at most stops but then easing off quickly.  Might explain 6k out of tyres.
