How low does your instant mpg display go?

martziniuk · 05-05-2008, 23:03

Just out of interest and boredom.
When you all boot your car what is the lowest reading you get from the instant mpg display. Car needs to be fully warmed.
Mine= 5mpg

andrew_lumb · 05-05-2008, 23:24

I think i've seen 7mpg when booting it in 3rd up a hill. Possibly less, but when accelerating that hard I try to keep my eyes on the road! lol

RichB86 · 05-05-2008, 23:46

had 5mpg when i looked the other day and averaged 13.3 over about 100miles!!!

did a tank in 170miles that day!!! was a good day though!!!

I remember seeing a fellow members car at the ring a few years ago. He had just been out to get some petrol, and before I set off on a passenger lap with him the range until empty was 75 miles, this was with a full tank of petrol.

Altreab · 06-05-2008, 09:49

the lowest for me was very briefly 12MPG in a Mark 1 90Bhp

but i expect to get lower than that with my new vRS Diesel

As the range is calculated on how the car is being driven, im not surprised lol.

DJM123 · 06-05-2008, 11:32

I have seen 9. Always seem depressing when that is displayed so try to avoid looking!

KenONeill · 06-05-2008, 12:02

I've "only" managed 9.5, but that's from a TDi110; owning a vRS would be an unfair advantage theree!

simonlb · 06-05-2008, 12:17

I used to get it down to about 9 in my old Granada.

Just to be awkward, I managed 63.2mpg today on my way to work...

ha, must be the only mpg thread that the vrs wins.

Lloyd55vrs · 03-06-2008, 22:44

5 mpg on instant mate on full right foot, and 12.8 or sumin bad on average lol damit

im guessing 5 maybe the lowest it goes? but that a guess lol i try

DizMeisTa · 03-06-2008, 23:11

im sure ive seen 3.5 on mine....

anonymouse · 04-06-2008, 00:23

Someone on here, that I know, told me he had constant readout on his Octy II of 4.9mpg. Mind he was doing 156mph in remapped car in a certain country

chris_necca · 04-06-2008, 10:18

Cant get mine lower than 5.1

Babs · 04-06-2008, 10:30

My Octy Mk1 vRS shows 12mpg when you floor it, no matter what gear etc

lordrobs · 04-06-2008, 10:33

5 or 6 mpg accelerating hard from a standing start.

exactly. I don't think you will be able to get less than 5mpg. Mine shoots down quite easily and would probally go less if it could.

AndrewTait · 04-06-2008, 20:02

I've had my 110BHP Diesel down to 4mpg.

To qualify that was full throttle, in the wet, and ASR switched off.

WRC_068 · 06-06-2008, 15:59

5mpg (instant) when full chat and after a recent 300 mile trip 40.9mpg (average) and only used 3/4 of a tank, i was well impressed

WRC_068 · 06-06-2008, 16:01

Oh yeh and i use BP Ultimate 97RON cause thats all i have in my area. Don't know how much of a difference that makes

Seriously!

Foot to the floor in any gear, even from a standing start and the instant shows 12mpg!

Thats odd should go lower I reckon ????

Babs · 06-06-2008, 16:34

That's what I thought... but nope, goes straight down to 12, and just sticks there!

And my readout is very accurate (+-1mpg)

martziniuk · 06-06-2008, 17:32

I expect remapped cars will be in the 5mpg range non remapped possibly around 12mpg?
