MPG Great fuel consumption

Scorcher · 9th March 2007, 17:39

Hey is everyone getting the sort of fuel comsumption that I am getting ?

I own the baby of the range the 1.4 SE but I am getting 47-49 mpg

. This is great considering the power to weight ratio. Although I have also endured most of the problems the fuel economy to and from the dealer is excellent. And of course all other trips !

Or is someone now going to tell me not to trust those clever high tech looking instruments.

at present my is doing 200 miles to the gallon 2.2icdi ex
however it is on the back of a lorry being delivered
this may be why
regard Pete

PS
when i get it i will post you in relation to what it does to the gallon.
i have heard some bad rumors that the specks in the books are way out.

you wont get near what honda claim in the diesel. Ive had mine a month now and averaging around 41 round town.

Geoff13th · 9th March 2007, 20:01

I get most around 50mpg most of the time in my diesel, mixture of driving, today I managed 67 ave on the way to work (just over 20miles) the 57 on the way home, that was being very patient and boring though.

peter newton · 9th March 2007, 20:05

makes you wonder how they can quote figures they do
on the diesel it states urban 42.2 per gallon

extra urban 62.8 per gallon and combined 53.3 per gallon
anyway its worth it having the civic smile
so it does not seem to be that far out depends if I'm wearing lead boots i suppose

regards Pete

as long as i get over 40mpg, then im happy with that. im at 48mpg on this tank full, but had mainly long runs, but normally only do urban, but still get over 40mpg.

Yup. That's not surprising. Cruise at the speed limit and don't mash the pedal to get to it and it's easy to get 55-60 or more.

mines crap tbh...mileage is at 3k nearly and not improving much above 38-39mpg.

ninooke · 10th March 2007, 12:28

2.2 i-CDTI
my mileage @ 23.000km (~14300 miles) : 5.8l/100km (~48.70mpg)
It dropped from 6.6l/100km (42.80mpg) since the last service at 20k kms.

Have to admit, on my daily commuting trips (25kms), I always keep the engine in the 1500-2000 rpm band. Only during longer trips in the weekend, I push it to 3500rpm, but only when the oil reaches normal operating temperature (>20 miles).

Tydo · 14th March 2007, 12:57

Got >50 MPG average over the last 10k miles and I don't drive slowly...

Petedefeet · 15th March 2007, 20:04

As a Honda worker - loads of me mates have Civics. Best consumption I've heard quoted is 65mpg - creeping behind lorries up the motorway at 55mph - this is with a brand new engine mind - not run in yet. Most achieve about 55 - 60mpg on a steady run.
I have a CRV diesel (same 2.2 engine) - 38 round town, 52 on a steady run.
Hope this helps.

Ah - but you have a lease car which has a 2 position throttle - wide open and off.................

czechplastik · 15th March 2007, 23:53

You have to remember that when manufacturers quote MPG figures it is done on a rolling road and does not take into account the many many variables of real world driving. Anyone hitting between 45-50 is doing very well.

IWANTACIVIC · 21st March 2007, 18:11

ive done nearly 8k mile and ave over 8k is 52.4 mpg on car and 51,2 on cal not driving slow

so im happy with that ive seen 57 on a 200 mile run

DanishDude · 21st March 2007, 18:56

According to the cars computer the first (and worst) tank reads just above 44 mpg, and the best in 3698 miles well over 51 mpg. Calculated thje figures are 40 mpg and just above 46 mpg, so I don't trust those clever high tech looking instruments.

Power_of_Dreams · 26th March 2007, 12:59

goin to sj's meet...i was averaging 70-80mph...cruise control was fixed at 85 for most of my journey...mpg 'read' 38.9mpg...from a full tank at the start of the day, id used nearly 3/4s covering 280 odd miles! piss poor in my eyes as my deisel CRV did 400 miles, using approx half/almost 2/3s of a tank!

JPDirect · 12th April 2007, 21:10

Talking about fuel consumption, i just had to get my girlfriend to take a picture of my mpg whilst going away for a weekend over Easter.

M25 was stop and start, with some nice long bursts of empty motorway. I slowed down to the early 40's so that my girlfriend could take a picture.

It was a 58 mile journey and we were half way there at the time of taking the picture - I can't believe that figure! Can you..?

courtster · 12th April 2007, 22:16

So whats the lowest mpg people have got in the i-cdti?

After quite a 'spirited' drive on some empty motorways I got her down to an average of 31mpg over 200ish miles...

andi22b · 12th April 2007, 23:23

6000 miles at 45mpg overall.
Worst was 35mpg when I was on a 4-mile commute.
My current commute is 18 miles, taking in the delights of the A3 and part of the South Circular, and gives me 52 mpg.
I'm happy with that.
I had a 1.4 petrol courtesy car yesterday, only for 25 miles, but that gave me 45mpg too. That did impress me.
