As this is probably THE biggest UK motoring forum, i thought i'd pose the following question here.....

What MPG are you achieving from your car?

i've searched around for the past few days, but only found 'offical' figures....which we all know are far from what are achievable......

if you could enter your Make, Model, Year, MPG, and any other relevent details.....

mine for example....


Ford, Fiesta ST, 2007, 28mpg, mainly used for work and back driving 7 miles each way



Cheers!

The other half's 350z (the 'old 280bhp model) is doing the same 7mile each way to work and back as me, with an average of around 23mpg.....

on a run to Silverstone a few weeks back, using cruise control, i got an average of 32mpg over 300mile return trip! and i wasn't hanging about apart from thru the 5miles of 50mph roadwork limits.....

as suggested earlier, i decided to make a 'wiki' thread on this subject, so it can be updated rather than having loads of pages to trawl thru....
