Average speed

[Hoofy]

Just a fun Saturday thread if you're chilling out at home.

What's your average speed according to your trip computer?

Mine's 17mph over the last month! Might be because I live in SW London. My average MPG is about 14mpg with a 3 litre 4x4.

[Quhet]

Mine is 33.7mph
Don't do much city driving as I live in Bath

[Hellboy1980]

29mph currently.

I do about 75% motorway although its the M42 so I suspected it to be lower.

Mostly city driving with occasional motorway.

X5 3.0sd - 21.4mpg, average speed 19.8mph. Claimed 34.4mpg combined.
XC90 D5 - 25.5mpg, average speed 21.4mph (this car hasn't seen the motorway in a long time). Claimed 33.3mpg combined.

[mmm-five]

48mph & 27mpg

Mostly motorway & dual-carriageway, but also includes country drives, shopping & track days.

Mine's around 22-25mph per tank, but as I use my car less and less for "daily" driving that creeps up!

I get the feeling that if I had your car, I'd be doing similar MPGs. Mine's a petrol 3 litre so hitting around 14mpg. Wouldn't mind if it were a sports car with a big V8.

I'm not sure how the per tank thing works. Please explain?

It's an amazing week when i get above 30mph average speed, and i have a 16mile cross country B road commute! There is so much traffic these days, that that commute is a 'follow the leader' nose to tail trail of cars, usually stuck behind some massive numpty doing 27 mph, and who still needs to touch the brakes on every corner, or every time a car comes the otherway.......

[Tango13]

About 42mph & 21mpg

[littleredrooster]

37mph and 37mpg! Didn't realise until I looked.

[A900ss]

41 MPH and 56.6 MPG

Only over 1,600 miles though as the car was recently serviced.

As you can guess, I live out in the sticks and hardly ever go into cities.

[OldGermanHeaps]

54mph and 38mpg. Remapped/modded lwb vito
Mpg is optimistic, closer to 34-35.
Doing a lot of late night motorway blasting the last few months and the town work has been done exclusively in the kangoo.

Mine says 39mph. Will be higher if they ever finish the roadworks on the M1

[unpc]

48 and has been for ages but it's only used as a motorway slag.

[Hoofy]

I think I need to move.

Or buy a more sporty car with a bigger engine and enjoy the journey.

I reset my trip every tank.
My average speed per tank of fuel is about that

Ah, yes, I ought to do that. I don't expect to see much difference, mind.

OK, it was one run a few years back.
