good or not

[spongy]

just wondering about my mpg on the way to chatsworth.now we put 80 squid in the old girl and she did about 240-260 miles on this i work it out to be 21 mpg or there abouts.....cant remember what the fuel cost was on fill upand was hard to know how much further to go on that fill as it was getting low when i filled again about 8 miles from chatsworth on the way home.thought this sounded pretty good,could have been a bit more careful at times but this was a very tame effort for those that know my normal driving style.cept between 70-80 all the way up and a couple of high lepton burst when the mood hit;)

Cant help you with yours being good or bad, but i recently got 289 miles on a tank with the LS3.

how much did it cost to fill yours up,think more could have gone in mine

[sonnylad]

Started on full tank and ran till needle looked like it would go no more, but only went that low as was prayiong it would make it to south mimms services after coming off m11

Hi Spongy glad you got to station for fuel ok.Just found the damp receipts £203.98 and a quarter left in the tank.More receipts to hide from the Mrs!

[bouldster]

hi there my 4.2 cerb does 30mpg on the motorway but locally it seems to use fuel at litres per min so it seems to me it will use the the same amount of fuel in one hour no matter how fast you are travelling! the faster the better for me every time!

[spongy]

morgie how many miles did you do sir,mine seemed to be doing well but i cant see how i would hit 30mpg.i put £185 quid in mine and have 3/4 of a tank left with just over 500 miles done.

[jackwibble]

Mine will just do 30 at motorway 70-80 type speeds and a bit of hooning thrown in i think the Joolz re-map helps at cruising speeds A and B roads its mid 20's.

[spongy]

mine has the joolz remap bud,short inductions etc etc.thought i may hit 25mpg as i have new lambas,mined you i gave her a big blip on the way home....what a motor these ajps are.

They are Cerberi, let's not cheapen them with silly talk of mpg. Go buy a Prius if you want to discuss such filth

[optimax sniffer]

Low to mid 20's.

300 miles to a tank last weekend on 200 mile of 'a' roads and 100 mile of motorway

About 6mpg around Castle Coombe, around 18-20 around town and 22-25 on a run. About 12mpg on the Isle of Wight but then you don't get out of second gear often and there are sea fronts to backfire/flame through

I was told a prius needs the batteries changing every 7 years at about £2500?

Damn right Fubes: Prius are not the best MPG cars btw . . . One of the ugliest they are indeed.

Rumour: new Lambo called Cabrera . . . What are they thinking!

Ive just done 185 miles on a full tank.

how much fuel does the Cerb hold.... whats my MPG ?

[spitfire4v8]

tank holds about 60 litres so thats maybe 14mpg? where were you? the nurburgring? thought you were running it in!

60 litre / 4.55 litres per gallon = 13 gallons

185miles / 13 = 14mpg rounded numbers.

[Gray_101]

Thanks spitfire... I am running in still.. But done a 1000 miles and it's been getting a bit of stick to bed the rings in... Fresh oil and filter going on tomorrow...

And about that other item.. I will collect/pay this week... I've just been so busy last week, I couldn't get

[wiggycerb]

sadly i managed 34mpg in mine on the way down to Cornwall (360 miles) although i was following my other half at 70 in an ECO FLEX corsa which did 65mpg ...... all in all not bad for a 4.2v8 that spits flames and is half as ecnomical as a teenie Diesel corsa that cost more per litre to fill !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spongy]

34 mpg....well done sir,or not as the case may be.I do really well on a run then have a funny five minutes......think this is why i will never hit the big numbers...oh well its only money got to spend it on somthing.cost me 110 quid last year to get down to cornwall.....and i only live in Devon.....right on the border so to speak.
