MPG - Evo-king - 23-06-2012 07:20pm
I know this is an old chestnut on here.
I was reading the June What Car, primarily to see how John is getting on with his long term Evoque, but the "Your own mpg stories" got my attention, and there is a piece about a 5dr Dynamic SD4 owner who's getting 18.9 mpg, it involves 10 minute trips in heavy stop start London traffic.
That figure is disturbing.
I'm not going to complain about my 35+ mpg figure in the Evoque now, which I'm sure will only get better, especially as my 1.2L Punto townie is showing an overall trip A figure of 42mpg.

Why would anyone actually use a car to do a short 10 min trip in traffic in London? Surely just as quick to walk.

I suspect anything doing that trip would suffer in the MPG stakes. Better off with and electric car for that.

Don't see anything bad in that at all and what do you expect in stop/start town traffic. On the way back from Leeds today i achieved 40.2mpg in my SD4 auto - i'm impressed with that with only 3500 miles on the clock.

well you are doing exceptionally well then, and one of a very few SiT

One of those silly headline grabbing statistics. Rush hour traffic speeds are such that our traffic jam road warrior will only be going a couple of miles at most, call it 20 miles there and back on a working week, 10 cold starts, a bit over a gallon a week, what does he expect? My Mercedes SL55 does 7 mpg in the same situation, and if I floor my Si4, the instantaneous mpg goes down to 2...

So thats about 45 mpg in real numbers then?
RE: MPG - jos - 24-06-2012 04:13pm
35.38 mpg ?

If I had wanted real economy I would have kept my FFRR, it was supposed to get 26-28 mpg but actually achieved 29-30 on local driving and I managed to get 36 on long motorway hauls on occasion so really LR have not advanced much when 3.6 V8 TD can get nearly the same as 2.2 four pots!
