The big economy experiment!

[Taine]

Thanks to everyone who is contributing!

Tidied up the spreadsheet a bit, and added an overall average for the models that have a decent amount of data to go on.

Racing tab added!

I'm living in good ol Truro myself! Get down here much?

That's cool, Truro is a great place, my Brother lives just outside of Helston and my Sister lives in Bodmin.

Not been down for a while, must try and get down this year at some point!

I have just recorded between Weston-super-mare and Folkestone a very remarkable 85.5 mpg on the dash computer.I must say this was at a very slow pace on the motorway.traveled on cruise controll set at 60.I have never had bad fuel consumption with my hdi 110 but this is the best yet .Think things must be set just right on my car.And I use supermarket fuel.

Added. Will continue to do so over the next few topups.

How on that guy got mid 50s out is 1.6vti 120 is beyond me. Even grandad driving I cant get it about 40.

[Woolsy]

i think i wins guys.........






then again when im driving it 49.7mpg lol

E-HDI 90 average about 55 MPG

[Stef]

My DS3R with it's Myway display will go way over 1500 miles per gallon when I'm coasting it, if only!

Mind you, I'm getting 46MPG at the moment so I can't complain.

Hi,

Just added my third tank fill up to the spreadsheet -

As per DaveB's comments above, I am entering actual consumption (and for 'full' tanks (well after down to a couple of bars left on the fuel gauge, so getting on for a measurment over nearly gallons of use)), not trip computer data. I've made a note of this on the spreadsheet. The trip computer is showing it's roughly 10% out (making it look 'better' than it really is, no surprise there). My figures are on the THP150 page.

The economy is getting slightly better though as the engine gets 'bedded in'.......

Regards,
Clive.

The trip computer is showing it's roughly 10% out (making it look 'better' than it really is, no surprise there).

Mine's pretty accurate, usually within 2% or so - on a couple of tankfuls the trip computer figure has been worse than the actual consumption. Allowing for discrepancies in tank level at fillups (I try to get the price up to a nice round figure, my wife stops as soon as the pump cuts off) & the way the trip computer works in increments equivalent to l/100km figures) I'd say it's pretty well spot-on.

The economy is getting slightly better though as the engine gets 'bedded in'.......

I found a noticeable improvement, around 2 mpg, coupled with the engine feeling much more willing to rev, at around 6,000 miles.
