For the first time since getting car (20v na) decided to see how many mpg I was getting. Filled to brim to start and then yesterday put in £68.60@ £1.32 a litre. Did 349 miles of which 150 was a run to coast and back and rest my daily commute(5 miles each way ) to work in London
Managed to get 30.51 Mpg which I was pleasantly surprised with
Just wondered how it compares with others

That's pretty good stevelondon.
On a mainly motorway run I'd expect 32mpg, less when its mixed driving.

its pretty easy. Fill up the tank. reset the 'trip computer' Drive around for a bit. Fill up the tank. Record the amount of fuel that has gone in, and the miles you have done. You'll then need to convert the litres of fuel total into gallons. Then just divide that by the number of miles you have done.

Maybe mine was a one off good figure helped by the run to coast Will see what next one is like
Does mapping improve mpg then?

Always 330-ish to a full tank, so 30mpg-ish, it's always a mix of motorways, town, A roads and stop start traffic. A bit less (maybe 290-300 to a tank) when the weather's nice and the roads are empty (which is rare!).
(edit: That's with a GTEC1 @ 1.2 bar)

I filled up with £68.60@£1.32 per litre That's 51.97 litres There are 4.55 litres to an imperial gallon So 51.97 divided by 4.55 = 11.44 gallons
I did 349 miles on that tank So divide miles 349 by fuel used in gallons 11.33
And you get 30.51 mpg
Simples!

i thought it was 4.54 ltrs to the gallon As for my mpg!! Lets just say I must have a fuel leak, at a guess the mid 20's but I will need to fill her up and double check that figure..

I always get about 320 miles to what I think is a tank, but it never takes more than 50 litres to brim it again so would probably do 400 before it actually ran out.
Last time I measured it I did 28mpg on mixed A roads and short journeys with a heavy right foot, which I was pleased with.

My old broom 20v, was fantastic on fuel - nearly 500 miles to a tank, porto 20v with 17"s did around 400-410.
20VT is obviously worse, and made worse at the moment by desperately needing a map, roughly i get 350 tops.
To be honest though, you dont buy a coupe for fuel economy.

Average is about 30mpg, with 35 easily achievable on a motorway run

Scots Green 20VT 271bhp, used for hooning around - 30.5mpg (422m on a full 63 litre tank) Moon Grey 20VT6 about 250bhp, used for longer drives - 34.5mpg (478m on full tank) I keep a petrol log of both - I don't let them get too low though . My Toyota van (2.3 diesel) has averaged 31.5mpg over 194000 miles - am I not a sad ?! Mind you, the tax man always wants to know......
