That doesnt seem to bad but im not an expert lol.

I have a petrol zr and £40 did me 386miles to county durham and back, and still had fuel left.

 

**** me.

£40 would get me roughly 340 miles or so before I **** it and had to fill it up!

1.6 25 btw.

lol there you go theres your answer.

I have a 1.4 ZR so smaller engine.

My previous car ford fiesta zetec s 1.6 drank my petrol lol so where ive lost in power im better off petrol wise lol

 

Apparently because its a ' high revving auto gear box ' its not too good, but should I expect more than 30 mpg, its only 109 BHP, I dont rant it too much and its mostly driving A roads !!

 

Tank capacity is 50 litres.

 

LOL>

But surely 30 mpg is crap !!!

 

I'd expect a bit more tbh.

But then I've had 1.2s up until my 25, so I was used to higher mpg. Think mine works out at 34mpg or so.

Maybe worth trying Redex or something?

 

You really need to record the fuel usage and mileage over several fill ups to get a reliable idea of the average consumption. Start and finish with a brim full tank. Also bear in mind that your speedo and therefore odometer will overread slightly, so will show slightly more miles than you have actually covered.

I used to have a 216Si manual, which did an average of about 42 odometer miles per gallon when relatively new. After about 9 years and 108k miles, it was averaging about 37mpg.

An autobox will always cause a higher level of fuel usage, but even so, I would expect more than 30mpg; probably around 34.

I am not so sure that this old idea is valid with the new autoboxes. Years ago 3 speeds were all you got now you can get 6 speed autoboxes. The Rover boxes are 5 speed and very good. The Steptronic box in my car is a dream to use. Fully auto or fully manual in sport mode (or auto in sport mode if you wish) Having had 2 auto cars I doubt that I would ever go back to a manual. It seems the way forward with many manufacturers now.The majority of older UK cars were fitted with the Borg Warner 3 speed box in days gone. That included RR, Bentley, Jags, Rovers, Austins etc etc. I can get 38 mpg out of my 45 V6 with a light right foot. On a run I normally get around 34 and around town about 25-28.

Regarding the fuel consumption, your driving technique can make a massive difference along with speed and traffic conditions and the use of the air con if you have it.

 

The figures for all the 25/ZR cars fitted with auto transmission show higher fuel consumption than their manual equivalents, so i don't think your argument really applies here.

Yes, but nothing significant so it does apply

 

You can use this site to record your MPG and then post banners in your sig like mine:

If you're a supporter.

 

Oh for goodness sake stop splitting hairs.

Personally I think the difference of around 3mpg between the figures for the 216 manual and 216 auto are significant.

Not that bickering about it helps the OP!:twak2:

 

5 on the floor!!! Ftw

 

Why did you use US MPG, you can select either US or UK when using the site ??

 

My MPG looks terrible compared to your diesel.

The first one below is a more accurate picture, as I was adding fill ups to the other site before they had the partil fill ups option

 

my holiday the other day

i put in £75

and got

0.47 MPG

15893.18 KG of CO2
