    My cars MPG...

    I did a fill the tank, use it then fill it again test.

    I did the math

    I filled up with 35.47 litres today
    9.370 Gal US
    7.802 Gal UK

    I did 328 miles.
    So I did
    35mpg US
    42mpg UK

    That good?
    Car was made in '95 1300cc engine




    I'm not insane. I'm just overwhelming!

      Yeah....probably around the best you'll get with current technology and not using a hybrid, etc. Especially good for a '95. My car gets around 31mpg last time I calculated it, and that's a 2008 vehicle.

        Thats pretty good sirex for the age. Make sure you service it regular and check the tyre pressures, all this helps. I only half fill my tank these days to reduce weight therefore reduce fuel burnt pulling the fuel and took all the junk out of my People carrier including the 2 rear seats also. Careful gear changing (stick shift) makes a big difference too.

              At least you have someone beat! (maybe only by a little bit though)

              The M1 Abrams tank will need approximately 300 gallons every eight hours; this will vary depending on mission, terrain, and weather. A single tank takes 10 minutes to refuel. Refueling and rearming of a tank platoon--four tanks--is approximately 30 minutes under ideal conditions.
              # 0.6 miles per gallon.
              # 60 gallons per hour when traveling cross-country
              # 30+ gallons per hour while operating at a tactical ideal
              # 10 gallons basic idle
              # A mine plow will increase the fuel consummation rate of a tank by 25 percent

                Actually, I get 19 on the highway. I did have a 1973 Nova that got 8 on the highway. Of course it wasn't quite stock.
                And gas was a lot cheaper back then. The cheapest I can remember gas I was about 7 and it was .08 a gallon. Of course this was during a price war.

                  My R1 (bike) gets around 40mpg not bad considering its a high performance machine. My pickup gets 8 to 10. So I guess it evens out.

                    I've never actually used my car hard, except a few times.
                    I tend to keep the tires at presure, except if i forget lmao.

                    Cars only ever had 2 services... maybe 3...

                    I really need to get the engine flushed, the oil is not the cleanist...
                    Its actually starting to gunk up inside, so will have to get that done or figure out how to do it...
                    I'm not that 'car' inclined, as long as it goes and works, i'm happy...
                    I can do lil things like normal maintinace, and few other minor stuff but I cant seem to get round the taking apart and putting back thing...

                    Good to hear thats a good mpg, i actually have a lower mpg than the book says, but thats expected considering they mesured that at 55mph constant...
                    I do mainly main road, and some urban driving.
