the clio is going

[MikeH]

I can only get about 26-28mpg out of the 182!, my 197 used to be 25-27mpg the r26 usually does around the 24-25mpg mark

 

[Deaks]

Surely people are buying these cars knowing how bad the mpg can get..

 

[Giles]

+1 i found if you reset your mpg it starts off at around 40mpg but quickly works its way down

Yeah I know that what everyone doing, they think got 45mpg.

I havn't reset mine about 4 year & best I can get 28mpg!

Has your car done enough mileage to generate a reading yet Giles!?!

Yes but best I did 28mpg, in winter I don't use it.

When Giles accidentally span the wheels on his car last week he tripled his mileage for the year.

if you look at the "official" fuel figures you would have seen that they arent that good...think the overall figure is like 34-36mpg :s

This thread isn't what i was expecting from the title lol

Sorry to see your selling mate. Hopefully you can find your way into something fun again sooner or later.

[fletch]

good luck with the new car ,, i'm getting low 20's podling around town n to work and back pretty ****e for driving steady

 

[Rogue]

Good luck with the sale.

You trading or private selling?

 

[devilsadvocate]

Yeah I have thought this a few times but I am in negative equity as I did a bank loan for some of it.

Once I hit the point where I can sell it for what I have left to pay roughly then its going.

It is great fun to drive but realistically its just expensive to run. I just think what I could save in Petrol costs alone over the next few years, it could go towards a house deposit.

 

[Tookie]

Its geting traded in for the leon so i dont have to try and get rid of it for months. Also on a bonus my insurance will come down from £850 to £540 so theres a saving straight away.

[JoshBray]
