MPG

[lundinoir]

I've been averaging 18.93 MPG with my Tamora RR 3.6. What's your MPG?

[chris watton]

My Tams been running very rich lately, I think I calculated it right, according to my digital disply, I did 60 miles on 20 litres, which equates to less than 14mpg! But we know how the fuel capacity digital readout fluctuates, I hope that's what it is!!

Is this a Tam only thread? Hope not!

Get 27 on a good day 20 on a bad one.

Mine does 22-23mpg in normal mixed driving.

14 sounds a bit low - Chris I suggest finding out why its running rich (are you saying this 'cos you have black soot around the tailpipes?)

Lundi - your mpg sounds OK if its all 'enjoying yourself' miles.

17-18mpg normal (town driving)
20-21mpg on a long motorway run

Havent been brave enough to check the mpg if Ive been giving it some welly, but I swear I can see the needle dropping fast

Yes, black soot still on the rim of the tail pipes, will be booking it in for its service soon, I seem to have only been getting around 200-240 miles out of the tank over the past month or so.

I was getting closer to 25 mpg before my 1000 mile service as I was very conservative with my right foot. I'm now much more enthusiastic once the oil is sufficiently warmed up. Plus 90% of my driving is mostly A & B roads with the odd single track (great until a tractor is coming the other way!)

And this forum is for any TVR.

Somewhere around the 30mpg mark on a sensible motorway run. I don't count the town miles for fear of crying.

[rev-erend]

I'm getting 21mpg (T350) around town and better than that on a run ..

What's MPG in a TVR? Blimey - I've never even thought to work it out!
I get between 180 and 250 miles on a tank, depending on if it's the missues or me driving.

Was between 18 and 23 MPG but recent autobahn driving got me upto 25 mpg and this was with minimum cruising speeds of 110MPH.
Kinda obvious really but seems the best speed for economy in the Griff is between 100 and 120MPH.

Somehow I dont think it would stand up in court as a good enough reason for speeding though!

Usually its around 200miles per tank.
If on a trackday though a hell of a lot less!
