small car mpg - please post your figures

ciano125

55 reg Audi A4 Avant, 2.0 TDi with 80k on the clock. Always between 40 and 45mpg, mostly motorway use, probably 85% motorway, 15% town. Climate control always on. Uses quite a lot of oil mind, but then my mate has the same car and his is no different.

I have attempted to work out my MPG for the first time. It's a 1996 Clio 1.2 5dr.

My workings out are bound to be a little inaccurate as i'm using the petrol light as a guide but i've done it 3 times and got the same figure for each: 38mpg.

Reading this thread makes me think it's totally pointless to have bought a small car.... Is 38mpg really bad for a car this size? I made sure i did the same type of journeys each time - round town (mainly school run)

mini one diesel 1.4 turbo 2003 averaging 50 mpg mainly city drive from me or 40 mpg when wife who recently passed test drives

Westfield SEI 1650cc, super unleaded only, it's smaller than a MK2 Fiesta so I think I can sneak in here

8 mpg with my toe down
28 mpg at best
18 mpg average

But the smile on my face when I hear those twin 40's take a big deep breath before the car launches me down the road in a cloud of tyre smoke absolutely priceless

2001 Astra mk4 2.0DTi - 89000 miles - 400 - 600 miles a month, 5 days a week 14 mile round trip to work down a dual carriageway, sometimes twice a day if I stay late at work (we work in the same office but for different companies so share a car) and then trips to Asda / town at the weekend so a mix of urban and non-urban driving, although car is always cold

Ive been using an App on my Desire to measure fuel consumption, stats are

512 miles
96 l
£110
48.49mpg
11p / mile
£1.15/l

Short town journeys are always going to batter your mpg. For that sort of trip 38mpg isn't bad.

I've got a Hyundai i10 (1.2) - my average mpg = 46.9 (per fuelly.com) just pottering around, most journeys under 10 miles.
With longer journeys, have had an average of 52mpg on the tank.
