Hi guys!
I've been noticing that a question people seem to ask alot is "how many mpg do you get from x,y,z engine?"
Well I thought we could answer that question by all contributing to an online spreadsheet of mpg figures.
Everyone has different driving styles, but the more people that contribute, the more accurate the average mpg figure will be overall.
We will also be able to see the spread / standard deviation of mpg figures, and that might help members work out if something is wrong with their car i.e. if it's doing alot below it should.
Here's how you can contribute if you like:
Click here to access the spreadsheet: MPG Project
Here's what you should see:
Step 1: Click on the model of DS3 you have
Step 2: Enter your name, and record your MPG figures across the horizontal column.
Tip: For the best results, reset your trip computer when you next fill your tank up with fuel, and then record the average mpg figure you get when you next need to fill up from empty. Try and drive normally for you
Step 3: As time goes by, some members will mod or chip their DS3s. If so, add your car as a seperate model with your name, and power figure if you know it, eg. Taine - HDI Chipped [115]
Once there is enough data, I will do some number crunching and get some pretty graphs! :cool:
Hope you all find this useful - the more everyone puts in, the more we'll get out!
**UPDATE!**
Thanks to everyone who has contributed so far!
There's just about enough entries to make it worthwhile publishing a chart!
I'll refresh this from time to time on this thread, but if you click on the spreadsheet link you can access an interactive up-to-date chart any time.
