MPG Beat this (CTR)

Tom8126 · 24th April 2012, 19:44

Was messing about the other day after I filled up, took these while at the traffic lights about a mile away from the petrol station.

Just wanted to see how well I could do, anyone that can beat me?
(the one with the flash is 67.2 MPG)

It was actually downhill, but I did hit vtec between filling up and taking the picture Lisa is my witness.

lol I wish I had someone to tow me around. I wasn't really trying until I noticed it said 50MPG and then I thought lets see what I can get it to before the lights :P

I've had 350+ mpg over a distance of more then 2 miles, you can get ridicoulous mpg on short distances, they just dont mean anything...

J. Derek Riddell · 24th April 2012, 22:12

And I've had some 7 mpg, crawling into the rush-hour traffic, just after filling up ! ...

tuccy29 · 24th April 2012, 22:23

should make a thread for the lowest mpg over 5miles

Now that's an idea

FrankstaH · 25th April 2012, 01:51

haha i hate it when people screenshot MPG with 0.5 miles travelled

It means NADA!

RosscoMac · 25th April 2012, 05:55

It's funny though!

I like screeching out the station in high revs and see how low it goes for the first few hundred metres. Single figures is always the funnest way to drive!

Staffs Deltic · 25th April 2012, 07:45

What about some reasonable distances?

Revs FN2 · 25th April 2012, 09:05

^ Excellent! ^

I filled up the other day at a station at the top of a long hill. Got to the bottom (2 miles) having achieved 150mpg!

but yes, that's cheating.

I'm taking it easy with this tank full and I'm getting about 30mpg with lots of short runs and urban driving. The overall average since I got the car is about 25mpg.

RosscoMac · 25th April 2012, 11:10

This was my best over a pretty long distance but a few people trumped it when I posted a thread for it.

I know filling up at the top of the hill a doing barely a mile isn't good economy but that wasn't the point just seeing how high I could get the number.

Revs FN2 · 25th April 2012, 12:37

Ah well, yes, 150MPG is as high as it'll show on the comp.
