Best MPG

[p3nn]

Loving my new Clio 197, most economical car I've ever owned :-p

I think mine would use more fuel than that if I let it roll down a hill

I can't even get that after resetting the trip computer

Clearly photoshopped, can see where the 1 has been turned into a 7

Mmmm... nope! :giggle: not a chance!

I had a Renault 19 16V back in the day.

Flat out down *****Local private runway. Reset computer when at terminal velocity; foot on clutch, coast to a hault from 135mph+, MPG would read 500+ or even higher from memory.........

fingers crossed it stays like this :thumbup:

If you put your foot on the clutch... its using more fuel because the engine has to idle. If the inertia is driving the engine through the box... it uses zero fuel

But less drag in neutral means higher speeds maintained for longer = better supposed MPG..........

Depends entirely of the decline and the length.

Small minor decline hills are better in neutral.

Long major decline hills are better in gear.

No decline ever mentioned. This was a dead flat stretch of road......

Oops.

If there's no decline, I'd leave my car in gear personally.

Not much benefit on a flat, the car uses very little fuel if maintaining the same speed.putting it in neutral and then gear for acceleration just wastes fuel.

Pushing down a hill after no breakfast and Weight Watchers diet.

It was actually just after i reset the trip computer :tongue_smilie:, it's now gone back down to a more realistic 22 smiles per gallon lol
