we've got an '05 (i.e. the later 170bhp engine). it either does short urban journeys, not london traffic but still south east.. or it does 0.95 lepton blasts up the motorway. with brisk a/b road driving for fun... and we get c31mpg. this is what most peole seem to get - gonzales' figures look a bit optimistic to me (
) it really does seem as though around 30 is what you should assume overall - on a run you can get it much higher but i would still work on 28-33mpg if you're doing some sums.
the thing is it's competitors are much the same.. you might get another couple ofmpg from a renaultsport clio... something like a leon cupra might be a bit better because the gearing's longer... the slower st170 is much the same...
changing the subject completely but.........isn't the exhaust of the 05 MY hilarious!!........... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHVbpENpSZk) it really does seem as though around 30 is what you should assume overall - on a run you can get it much higher but i would still work on 28-33mpg if you're doing some sums.the thing is it's competitors are much the same.. you might get another couple ofmpg from a renaultsport clio... something like a leon cupra might be a bit better because the gearing's longer... the slower st170 is much the same...
