Miles per Gallon

[YZFMINI]

Just wondering what other car are getting.
on my spirited drive up the M5 to Evsham total 121 miles i got 30Mpg.

So what does anyone else get???

[Quarrycars]

Sounds prettty good, I don't think the bike gets much better than that   At one time I had a Suzuki SP 600 dual sport, a Yamaha Vision and a Daihatsu Charade, the all got about 50 MPG (US).  The bikes had more performance than the Charade but still pretty silly numbers!

[Mark G]

Yep, I normally get over 30 in mine however I drive it.  Best I've had was 37mpg and that was motorway miles.

you could always try rallying down hill, out of cog of course , or even fit larger wheels and tyres - that should get the MPG up a bit - 

[David H]

er

not very many at all.

[paintman]

My Pinto does around 35mph if i drive steady, but soon as i rant it and the 2nd choke comes in it drops drastically to about 25mph.     I probably average out at about 30mph.

I'm lucky if I get 20mpg ....

[Daley Down Under]

Driving over to the Spire Owners Club track day at Silverstone (Friday), I got 25mpg.  It was half that on the track!!!  That said, I was only overtaken by a Chevron Costworth Turbo powered race car on slicks.

PS: Marlboro Car ran faultlessly (there, back and on-track).  Finally - I might be getting there.

That's not very quick at all Tony! But what do you get mpg?

[Denzle]

From my 2.0 Pinto about 28 to 30.   It depends if the missus is in the car or not.    With her along side me I seem to get more to the gallon.   I wonder why.?

[WALNUT]

LOL . YellaBelly. If my car was any slower Id have to drive on the pavement.

Tony ( Wallnut ), 

Yellabelly was replying to Tony - paintman's posting.

Anyway, you haven't enough ground clearance to get up on the kerb !

[WALNUT]

Ahh. Now that makes a bit more sence. Got it wrong again lol

Tony

[Casino]

That's all right Tony. We understand and just put it down to your age.

By the way ...... What's with this "lol" business ?

[WALNUT]

Im told Its short for Lots Of Laughs. LOL

Tony

[YZFMINI]

It would have been even better if i had been driving at a stable 70.

There are many meaning for "LOL"
- Lots Of Laughs
- Laugh out load
- Lost of LOVE

[WALNUT]

Well, Iv laughed out loud and Iv had lots of laughs, but Iv never been lost in love, so you can take your pick from the first 2 LOL

Tony

['Mendip Wurzel']

I always thought it meant "Laugh out Loud". I'm worried if it can mean "Lost of Love", no wonder nobody every replies to me..

[Denzle]

[WALNUT]

Nice one Adrian

I guesstimate about 25-35mpg

[gingerpaul]

About 27mpg at about 75mph on the motorway. Well into the teens when on a decent b road!

['Mendip Wurzel']

YZFMINI...... Being a manly sort of person "Lot of Love" is almost as bad....
