I`m only on my second tank, the first was 21.1 average, the second so far is 24.5. What about you guys? (The first was driving normally with an occassional stepping on the gas, the second, I`m babying it, just to see what it can do.)

Tombles · Nov 12th, 2006, 02:04 PM

At the moment i am getting around 26, not sure on it exactly was ment to check but its around that. Would of liked to of gotten more out of it but i guess thats just the way it is

murmini · Nov 12th, 2006, 03:26 PM

I have been tracking my mileage in myautolog and over 48 tank fulls my JCW MCS is averaging 24.42 mpg. (USA)

Lawrothegreat · Nov 12th, 2006, 03:29 PM

don't forget US mpg and UK mpg are not the same

Westy · Nov 12th, 2006, 03:52 PM

Corrected for US gallons, we've averaged 25.6 MPG over 9 months. Best 30 MPG, worst 21.6 mpg.

That's because a British "imperial" gallon contains 4.5 liters of liquid while a U.S. gallon holds 3.8 liters. Thus, an imperial gallon is about 1.2 U.S. gallons and the British MPGs on any vehicle should be higher than on the same vehicle in the US. Without taking into account differences in smog control equipment, etc.

Your mileage may vary.

Wow, you guys must be leadfoots.

I'm consistently getting about 28.5-29 mpg. The disclaimer is that I drive 72 miles round trip to work 5 days a week so a lot of it is freeway miles.

I actually hit 31.2 mpg once on a road trip to Vegas... and that was averaging about 90 mph. Weird.

David_MCS · Nov 29th, 2006, 10:05 PM

On average for the whole tank, from full to red light.. i usually get between 32 and 36mpg - roughly 300miles to 320miles per tank..

Bhozar · Nov 30th, 2006, 02:06 PM

After the weekend I managed to get 145 miles from my tank before the light came on. It was a very fun 145 miles!

thepharcyde · Nov 30th, 2006, 03:52 PM

US fuel will not return better or equalled levels of MPG simply because its lower octaned than most European equivilents. The ecu settings would be different too.

I get around 25 UK MPG, and around 300 miles to a tank of 99Ron fuel.

Andy P · Nov 30th, 2006, 04:00 PM

We get between 25 to 30 MPG out of our 56 MCS JCW

Trotti · Nov 30th, 2006, 06:19 PM

Average 300 miles before red light comes on, best of 330.

bengascoyne · Nov 30th, 2006, 09:46 PM

I get between 13mpg and 18mpg, depending on traffic!! (oh that is in the R32 tho)

03_Dinan_S · Dec 2nd, 2006, 04:01 PM

I get 26-28mpg around town and mid 30's on the highway.

Mods include Dinan Stage 1 kit, and 17% ALTA pulley (among other things) so its far from stock form.

zippyy · Dec 2nd, 2006, 07:54 PM

I got 220 miles from my 1st tank full until the red light came on

StorminNorm · Dec 3rd, 2006, 04:14 PM

gOT ABOUT 30 ON THE 150 MILE DRIVE HOME.

Earl · Dec 3rd, 2006, 08:17 PM

What about you guys? (The first was driving normally with an occassional stepping on the gas, the second, I`m babying it, just to see what it can do.)
