In fact thinking about it it makes me laugh,all the people on here spending loads of cash fixing up their cars and then the expense of all the mods and then moaning about the mpg.These are cars have a fair bit of performance and a lot of weight so they were never going to be doing 45mpg.
is 32-35 on a run sitting at 70-80 indicated, and the odd play testing in gearacceleration times 50-70, 60-80, 70-90 on th eodd bits which aren't on a pubic highway.
Then 18-24 during the week when its back and forth two miles on teh schol run, the tip, Ikea, the builders merchants etc.
Cannot complain really. Thats with a RICA 280, cleaned injectors and all new ignition components. Before that I strugged to get it over 30 on any journey unles sitting at 60-65 mph.
When I got it I was seeing 23 mpg everywhere - that was due to a split vacuum/boost pipe elbow. Nice cheap fix!!
If you only see low twenties its worth getting it checked. Not for teh economy you understand but cos it will GO FASTER LOL

Can't say I'm bothered - to us it's a trade off for the load space we've got. To be honest the way I looked at it was the 2 litre was underpowered for the size of the car, the 2.5 too big so the T5 is about right. Unless the like the needle swinging to the right lol.
If I want to get decent mpg I'll dive that way but for me I like to have a blart every now and again which upsets that..
Lets face it, I was driving a Saab 900 the same age as my 850 and it only returned about 22 mpg compared to 26+ of the T5 and the performance was worse than my old BMW 318ti (which the T5 knocks spots off). As a result I'm quite happy. If I wanted good mpg I'd have bought a mundano tdi.
Not a '97 V70 T-5 CD Auto, Black, Black leather anymore..
replaced a Mercedes S202 C220 Cdi diseasal Now scrapped!! (best place for it, it was crap!)

Tbh thought the R is economical compared to my old 400bhp 200sx, and my old 300bhp celica gt4 lol
Well I Don't care as it gives alot more miles compared to me old XJS and the Range Rover so the T5 is economical in comparison and quicker to...
Couldnt care less , the T5 is practically an eco car compared to the range :0
It is an irrelevancy in the more general economics of running the best value high performance utility car in the world.
