what mpg to expect

[Chris197F1]

Currently driving a Fiesta ST and getting around the 30mpg mark but what should I expect from a 197? I do mainly urban driving, im rarely on the motorway. Any help would be greatly appreciated as dont really want to drop too far below 30mpg.

We get 31mpg for the lifetime of our car. Thats everything from trackdays, motorway, urdan and B road blasts.

Depends how heavy your right foot is. I'm usually about 26/27 but floor it a bit and mine goes to 23/24

Just got back from Cornwall. I adv'd 35.6mpg. round trip was about 800 miles including all the trips out we had.

Normally, I get 29 / 30 most of the time.

Same as Tom above I average around 24mpg, I think Noddie drives like a granny to get in the 30's :rofl:

 

[Chris197F1]

so I should expect between 25 and 30mpg is fair to say then as we all have a heavy foot every now and then lol

I get 21mpg but I have a heavy right foot worse I've had is 15mpg and best I've had is 31mpg all depends how your drive it

Mid 20's urban, expect 30 to low 30's on motorways.

About 9 if you keep it above 5k rpm.

25.4 on this tank an it's nearly empty. I've seen it at 31, an I've seen it at 15

 

[197]

Bit of every type of driving, 25 to 30. Always reset comp after a fill up.

I get around 20 mpg and that is mostly highway, very little heavy traffic downtown driving...

[Tom]

I reset my gauge every tank - I get between 24/25mpg and rarely 26/27.

25(ish) but rememeber the trip reads under, you can add another 10% to the real figures.

 

[Chris197F1]

^ really?

 

[Mike]

The figure on my MPG for the last 30 months is 30.08MPG

The best I had was 37,54MPG and the worst was 21,7MPG!!

I remember filling ours one night and reseeting the mpg at the station, gave it a reet spanking all the way home and got it down to 9.9mpg

Ours averages out at around 25mpg
