Anyway to get better economy

[5POT]

with some new cars now the ecu shuts down a bank of cylinders or a cylinder, is there any way when cruising to say shut down a cylinder to give better cruise mpg or when round town.

Buy a D5 instead of a T5

[ExternalError]

if you buy a t5 hoping for better than 20mpg then you have got the wrong car

[stephenevans99]

I know of a nice D5 that MAY be up for sale soon

[graemewelch]

26 mpg is easy.

My car gets plenty of jip but theres a times and a place. Id go the other way and say if your getting under 25 mpg your car needs a good stg zero service

Nah the car is ok well it will be once the coilover s returned to me and refitted I just prefer the 0-30 to be as quick as possible

[WOODY T5]

28mpg here in town

A well serviced car will give you good Mpg, I also found having a walbro and larger injectors improved my mpg, Blacky achieves between 34-38 mpg and around 30 runing about.

My R seems to have a apitite for fuel im seeing around 32mpg on a run, low 20's around town, but i suppose thats auto for you.

I bought an Alfa 156 2.4JTD to save me money on fuel. I do high mileage and I'm saving 12-13p/mile on fuel alone in comparison to the R, T5 and T-5R.

i really don't understand the "i need more economy" when you have bought a big turbocharged car

Exactly, I've tried to squeeze the maximum mpg out of mine on my business mileage, and even driving like V70 Graham, I've only managed 30-31 at best, in a manual as well. Hence the diesel for me for the bulk of my miles.

I managed 426 miles on 1 tank (62.5L/ 13.7 gallons) going to GW & back - which was really quite good I thought. Thats just over 30 mpg.

With Victor-ia, I've managed upto 460 miles before the re-fuel light has come on. She will do 35mpg when driven steadily.

When I bought my C70 T5 last year I averaged about 38mpg (on the trip computer at least) over a 110 mile trip on the way home with it, was impressed! And no, that really wasn't with me being that gentle at all!

Exactly what my car is, a manual C70 T5, and she's by far the most economical out of the 3 that I have.

On a drive to cornwall a few year ago i managed over 500 mile to a tank. Cant remember exact figures but it was a very boring drive
