Z3M Fuel consumption

Post by Gazza »

Did a trip to Wigan via the motorway last week, had a drive around the country bits and returned home via the motorway, total 622 miles and used 103.91 litres of petrol, I make that an average of 27.20 mpg :D :D

That's very impressive.
My average for the last couple of tanks has been 18mpg, although that's alot of town driving & hardly any A-B roads :cry:

The worst I've had is 16mpg to a tank though :shock:

I do look forward to getting a decent drive under my belt in it.

I was thinking the same - what happened to "drive it like you stole it"? :twisted:

Put 25 pounds worth in the tank.

That was 18.6 litres or approx 4 gallons.

That gives me 72 miles!!!!!

18 to the gallon or 3 miles per pound approx!

Beat that!!!!! :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D
