MPG Question ?

**rottertron** · Thursday 13th January 2005, 11:38

I feel hell of a lot safer caneing my car than my bike.

But i have to say that my bike leaves virtually everything for dead, there are so many ponces out there who ride big bikes but havent got a clue what they are doing. Takes alot of bottle to ride a bike proper fast and I know that ive had my fair share of luck with close shaves so take it much easier on two wheels now.

I must stop complaining about fuel economy I thought 320 was bad (24-25mpg). I do have a clear road to get to work each morning so cruising speeds can be maintained. It does drop if I aim for max speed (most mornings when I'm late for work).

I think i will need to trade my 850r for an austin allegro, I am obviously way tooo old. I have consistently got 27mpg out of mine according to the computer. am obviously wasting the old girl.

did have fun racing with a civic type r the other day though, but unfortunately these events are too rare

Either I driver like Nigel Mansel or its all the town driving I do, I average 19 mpg. Never been over that.

This time of year fuel consumption will be down due to longer warm up times heaters and aircon. My car did just 28.5 mpg on a long run, in summer I would get 30mpg 700 miles total driving as slow as I did ! The computer is currently showing 2030 miles 24.4 mpg av speed 37 mph. In the working week around town mines probably doing low 20 s , boot it and I get 16-17 mpg drive like an old fart and get 30mpg + or normal driving should see 24-25 mpg even if you boot it real hard sometimes .

MrsMopp,
The reason your car's fuel consumption has deteriated is probably as a result of whatever is causing the drop in performance ! See ya Monday and I'm sure it will all become apparent.
