MPG Economy

I'm running the stock GBS Power-map day to day; the IVA passing map is filed away for when I need that very lean low end for emissions testing.

Finally this week I got around to some range and economy testing; the MPG important because fuel moving in the tank combined with a badly calibrated gauge means knowing roughly when the next fill up is due is useful.

One run only, mixed driving A roads, stop/start, 30-50mph etc:
I bottled out of driving until the tank was completely empty but it must have been close:

158.8 miles range

23.44 litres fuel

Gives: 30.8 mpg,  9.17 litres/100km, 10.9 km/litre

That will do - no need for the rolling road just yet.


Full 3/4 1/2 1/4 Empty Refilled Litres MPG
0 55 75 126 158.8 158.8 23.4 30.8
159 230 250 - - 267.3 15.3 32.2
0 - - - - - - -
