Car Fuel Economy - Fuelly

[crash-alot]

Anyone regularly maintaining actual fuel consumption records of their cars?

I discovered a online app called FUELLY

Checkout the link to Fuelly you can put in your fuel amount mileage and cost and it works it out for you

There is also a cool app that you can run directly from a web enabled mobile so you can do this at the forecourt

I always brim the car when refuelling and reset the trip counter. 1 Gal = 4.54 Litres and I divide miles by gallons on my phone to get the average consumption. My Mondeo returns 50+ all the time.

My Mondeo's got a thingy on the dashboardie widget type affair that gives me a number around 47ish. :hat:

£40.00 usually returns 380 miles of motorway+town driving.

On-board computer works it out for trip and until I reset it. Naturally as most speedos overread, these figures will be optimistic. My Audi gives an average of about 47, but in reality [ and when I can be bothered to do the easy maths!! ] it is closer to 45. 600 miles or more on a tank is normal.

A question??

As fuel is ALWAYS dispensed in litres, the price is ALWAYS in litres, why do we and the mags ALWAYS persist in quoting MPG????? Why not have the figures in Miles Per Litre?

So, easy quickie 50mpg=~11mpl

All I know on mine is its takes over £100 to fill the tank .. Think mine works out about 20-25mph round town and 30-35 on a run .. .

:eek:

My fill up cost me £60, and 1 get between 700 - 800 miles.

:D 87mpg is my record from Birmingham to Benfleet 150ish miles

[joe.lel]

24mpg, on average around town.

35 on the motorway

I calculated mine the other week and for £20-25 I think I got around 107 miles so was around the 20-22mpg. That's for a 1998 VW Passat 1.8 (naturally asperated).

It's a Golf Match BlueMotion, and I had the AC on all the way ;) Got it brand new last year as the new Golf was being launched, for a bargin £13K. The company I worked for dropped my mileage rate from 25p per mile to 11p, and with this car I get moaned at I dont put enough fuel reciepts in for the company to claim the vat back :D. I actually have two, the first I got for the wife, then realised that I was a fool running a Land Rover that did 32mpg, so I got a second one within a week.

It is a bit boring to drive, but it costs buttons to run and tax. The way I see it is, cheap car means there is more in the Heli budget pot for my true passion.

Normal long distance trips get 70-80ish mpg, Short trips see the mpg in the 60's

I normally average around 48mpg day to day in a 2001 Passat 1.9tdi sport 130, remapped too :)
