Those with thirsty engines - monthly mileage

[E65Ross]

Just out of curiosity what sort of mileage are you doing each month with thirsty engines?

By thirsty I mean averaging less than around 24mpg.

Im getting around 21-22mpg and am doing around 8-900miles per month. It's costing a lot

[tr7v8]

I get 18.MPG & average 1k per month. Thank god for a fuel card!

[barryrs]

19mpg hence just 330 miles per month

[iguana]

18-20mpg 8000-10,000miles a month.

Better than my pal tho 6mpg 8000- 10,000 month

[richardxjr]

V8 Teens around town, <100 miles a month.

V6 Teens around town, 300-500 miles a month.

Cycles, over 500 miles a month.

Do you stop driving?

Had it since March and done 6253 miles so about an average of 798 in total, about 400/month is business miles though so personal miles (ie the ones I have to pay for!) is only about 400.

Mostly average 16 (town driving and lots of stop/start on the motorway commute).

18-20 mpg only cover 500-600 miles a month though.

[Steely4WD]

I'm getting about 21-23mpg and do about 400 miles a month so its not too bad

[Bisonhead]

75 miles per average working day, 22.7 mpg...pretty good from what ive seen here!

[Hudson]

150 miles a month @ 22mpg average

[skyrover]

Just checked the jeep and it's currently reading 17.3 mpg from it's 4.0 litre straight 6.

Not bad for an engine that hasn't changed much since 1964

I average around 200 miles a month, the rest I do in a diesel land rover

14-15mpg and around 700miles

[Google [bot]]

Calculated 11mpg once in the 928.

Mileage: zero, because I can't afford the repairs.

[Big Pants]

21mpg. Around 1400 miles per month.

Stopped using Road Trip as it was too depressing.

[HeWhoDaresRoy]

22 mpg and 3500 per month. LPG, though, so not too painful.

Do you drive a lorry?

[R12HCO]

I do about 900 @ 24 ish mpg in my 525ia.

Will be abit more though this month as im going to manchester to see family.

Abit of a shock when comming from a tdi golf especially when you earn under 25k a year!!

I think 55- 60 a week is a steady figure for petrol with non of my journeys being over 10 mile at a time.

Im struggling to see if its worth it atm but not had the car long.

I often dip below 25mpg in our van. Luckily it does less than 8k miles a year. A bit irksome for a four pot (180bhp) diesel! That's what a lot if weight does though.
