secretstar07979 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 So according to the comp I'm getting on average 20 - 25 mpg. Is this about right? I should say I have a really heavy foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TT350 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Yes that's definitely par for the course. Quite good numbers actually if you have a heavy foot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exec Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Iv averaged 20.5 over the year. Added up all my fuel receipts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KyleR Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 I've had between 8 and 39, 20 odd is about average. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gassy Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Had my Zed a month now and yes 20mpg is about right.The best I've had is 22mpg but I always get tempted to jump on the loud pedal so between 14-20mpg is normal for meí ½í¸Š.

davey_83 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Totally depends on the sort of driving thats being done and for how long, mpg will drop as we come into the winter also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KUGT4 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 avg 24.5 in the gt4 - iirc close to mixed urban spec avg around 32.5 on the motorway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ekona Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Blimey, an MPG thread. I'm amazed that no-one has ever posted one of these before, you'd think they'd be really common in a forum about cars with large capacity NA engines. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishfire Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Hahaha ^^ agreed! BTW my average mpg is currently showing 13.3 but I didn't buy it for economy!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gerry40 Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Had mine just over a year and covered 2K, the computer says 25.3 mpg over that period doing mainly shortish journey's but try and keep the least to a 10 mile run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marzman Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Think the worst i got according to the pod was 6mpg, driving at approx 145mph on the autobahn on the way to the 'ring. When i noticed this i slowed right down...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZEUS Posted November 12, 2016 Share Posted November 12, 2016 Big engine, heavy, that means thirsty, as the other 100 posts on fuel economy have said! Christ I'm turning into Ekona ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nate Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 I'm quite happy then, mine hovered around 27mpg before I started drifting it. A full day of like 5mpg does bring my average down a lot unfortunately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Level 7 Boss Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 How is everyone getting such great figures, assuming motorway/mixed driving. I'm getting 18 mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PPod Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Yeah I'm like you ^^^^ heavy foot so only get 16mpg average. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackstar Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 (edited) 20-25 is quite good if you describe yourself as heavy footed ha ha. I average 25mph normally but I don't usually hammer the car. Yesterday on a largely motorway run from North Lincs to Holmfirth I managed 35mpg, which I think is great.

zebedy Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I Bet every one's gauge is set on miles to empty lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
valy Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I Bet every one's gauge is set on miles to empty lol nope Sir,mine is set to the digital speedometer as I don't want to be caught offside and spend my money on fines...rather buy more car parts with them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brillomaster Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I Bet every one's gauge is set on miles to empty lol my DTE reading was terribly inaccurate, as was the fuel gauge, so no, I normally didn't have anything showing! Also just like to add at this point that my new car (BMW 330d) has more torque than a zed, but manages 45mpg... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brillomaster Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 I know I know... gonna get it remapped soon, and then it'll make more torque AND power than an (early) zed, and still do 40mpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrahameJ Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 204 JDM DE 350 Auto averaged 25.2mpg for 3359.89 litres of Shell V-Nitro, driven daily on all roads including cruising at 3100rpm on Motorways, and revving to 6500rpm if I get to the lights first, or am first onto the motorway slip road. No Improvements/changes to mpg have been made despite "performance" improvements of Invidia exhaust, cold air intake, high flow AE air filter, ported plenum, and Horsham plenum spacer, and an engine earth kit. It is faster through the corners now, but that is due to MeisterR shocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
