MPG seems low

Post by hungry monkey »

Just done some rough calculations on mpg as it felt I was getting through a fair bit of fuel.

Over a couple of half fills I got 700 miles out of 67l. Correct me if I'm wrong but that's 10.44 miles per litre which is 39mpg.

It's a 2l maxi kombi 140. Largely motorway driving but some city stuff. occasionally a heavy foot but not silly, never loaded with much weight.

Does that sound low? Anything I can do about it?

I calculate yours to be 47.5mpg which is actually pretty good. I would love to get that in my kombi maxi!

700 mile to a tank. Wow I would love that. Amazing well done. I’m getting about 450.

I think he perhaps used the US gal in his conversion by mistake

Yeah I think that's the case!

Still keeping mileage and litres filled figures to get a longer term view
