Thread: MPG calculator

  1. #1

    MPG calculator

    found this when mooching about, think its a nice way of quickly working things out....

    http://www.torquecars.com/tools/uk-mpg-calculator.php

    i put £35 worth of V-power in as i was low and feeling flush haha £1.06p per litre , 33 litres and i got 260 miles from it, which i didnt think was too bad? works out as 34.4mpg... which im happy with from my midly tuned williams! haha

    whos got the best and with what mods?

    Mods -

    De-cat & mongoose stainless
    Gunner chip
    8mm HT leads
    Hillpower heat shielded induction kit
    all new dizzy cap and rotor arm, plugs etc...

    that was with a combined motorway and urban driving

    22mpg on hybrid (all town and cold starts and short journeys e.t.c)

    Will do 35mpg on motorway.

    This is with a dead lambda sensor too.

    for me its a simple way to keep tabs on problems, lambda, emissions to some extent, fueling etc.... actual mpg isnt a concern but its a relatively good indicator of common problems...

    Managed 43mpg out of my Williams 2 today - 310 miles sitting between 50 and 65mph. Not exciting, but at least it kept the exhaust volume level to something vaguely acceptable.

    Standard car excepting induction kit and stainless backbox - will be completely standard as soon as I get replacement items.

    On the journey down I was touching 50mpg in the Alfa JTD (sitting around 80).

    being slightly anoraky i always do my mpg at every fill..for general driving (not long distance criusing) i get 32,thats not hanging around either.on a run i get 36 allthough the best i`ve seen which kept me happy for ages was 45 mpg over 170 miles at a very constant 70(plus a bit)
