Calling Z3M drivers!

Post by Joyus »

Hey guys,

If you use the Z3M as a daily car....how much fuel do you use per week?

Thanks

Won't that depend on how far they drive it?
I suspect you really want to know what sort of mpg people get :wink:

I think it's the same as sitting in the room with your other half talking, getting no response and replying to yourself... we all do it at times I'm sure. :wink:

Just don't put another mpg on in a few weeks !!:D

How long is a piece of string? one thing I have learnt is the car laps up motorway miles with good mpg but when it comes to sitting in traffic or stop start driving its really NOT good on petrol...

By far the biggest factor in MPG when driving mine (sorry it's not an ///M but still relevant I think) is having the roof down.

Do trip to Glasgow quite often, half tank if roof up (not very often) at least three quarters of tank with it down.

Drive it like Miss Daisy it's good, drive it with a lead foot it ain't so good.

I have returned figures of around 22 - 25 mpg whilst on a Zed Run.

I have also notice the mpg falls as the service lights decrease.

No point - I know it won't match the remarkable mpg stats my old Golf TDi got and besides what am I going to do? Not fill it up and then not drive it ? :lol:
