New poor fuel record.....for me.

[ed-209]

I have just got back. and I am amazed. at how much fuel I used.

Stirling to Campbelltown - 147 miles in 2hr27min and used 39.83 Ltrs of Fuel (one way)

Any one work out how many (few) miles to the gallon that is.

Dear Edward,

I am writing to make you aware that i am sick to the core of my soul to hear that you have been very naughty and gone over 60mph. I feel that driving north and listening to the bay city rollers on your CD player has encouraged you to flaunt the laws of the land.

I trust this kind of behaviour will happen more and more oftern from this day forth?

Regards

Thought it was time to break the car in.

Gumball was that your way of saying you want you bay city rollers cd back.

From my ultra reliable fuel calculating spreadsheet:

Litres 39.83

Miles 147

MPG 16.77819501

MPL 3.690685413

Which isn't bad Ed. My record without a track visit is 18. 12 With a visit.

[ed-209]

So it is 16.75Mpg then. Next time I think I'll try the 4th and 5th gears that should bring it down some more.

that was pretty acurate for just using my phone . i got 16.5 somthing

[p1ggm]

worst i have done is 103 miles from a full tank to empty

on roads, not on a track

I am impressed Gordon , its only going to get worse too once more mods go on!

I got about 90 miles out a tank full at knockhill, kept cutting out coming out of hairpin with the fuel swishing about, usually get about 190 miles out a tankful on the road

If you want to work out your own MPG in future this is how.

1. Take the number of litres you filled up with and divide it by 4.54 (that'll convert it into imperial gallons)

so for this case it is 39.83litres / 4.54 = 8.77 gallons

2. Obviously then take the number of miles you covered and divide it by number of gallons consumed

so for this case it is 147 miles / 8.77 gallons = 16.76 miles per gallon.

It really is very simple as long as you can remember the litres to imperial gallons conversion factor (4.54).

Hope that helps
