2.0 litre mpg?

gmjones · Post by **gmjones** » Mon Jan 14, 2002 8:58 pm

I have just ordered a 2.0 litre CC I was just wondering what miles per gallon people are getting on a motorway. As I will be doing 350 miles a week on mainly 60-70mph roads.

Regards

Gareth

Mine's probably not representative as I do tend to push the car hard, but I get about 29 - 30 mph on motorways. See the mph thread under other problems for more discussions about this.

That's about a tank and a bit mate, I reckon 280-300miles per tank. (40litres)

I did 350 the other week on 44 litres (tank holds 47) at mainly 70 and some town driving.

i was getting 29.4/29.7mpg doing mainly motorway miles but more around the 80/90mph mark - too many unmarked volvo's going around to go any quicker

my last tank up to today gave an average of 32.5mpg but thats because i have been off work the last few days and haven't been on the motorways as much.

I get 29-30 mpg doing 80-90mph motorway driving day in-day out.

I get about 33mpg if I clam things down a bit to 70-80mph

I tend to find a best cruise speed for eco fuel consumption is 80mph on the motorway. I tend to get about 32mpg for this.

I have been getting approx. 300 miles to the tank. It seems to cost me Â£28 a time to fill up. So, I'm quite happy with this even though I used to drive a turbo diesel. That used to give me 510 miles to a Â£48 tan so really I haven't found the drop from diesel to a 2.0l petrol too punishing.

Worried about clocking up early miles though with all my motorway driving. Had it two weeks and aleady up to 1000 miles! Argh!

Blimey, only done just over 9000 since the 3rd of march 2001

Blimey, only had mine 3 weeks and done 1000 miles.

When it was really icy recently and I was laying off the right foot, I was getting 40mpg! Then the weather warms up and my foot goes down, but I still reliably get 300 miles out of a tank (Â£30), same as my old 1.6 megane but loads more fun :eek:)

had mines from 6/12/01 and done 2100 miles - nothing unusual i'm sorry to say. i saved 200 miles while the car was in the garage for 4 days and it is back in again for another 5 or 6 days so in a way i'm happy as i'll save around 300 miles

How did you meeting at the dealership go Derek?

Hope you got them to see sense.

Pauline I have a megane coupe at the moment and am looking to import my CC next week. Is the CC a lot better do you think??????

Rachel,

Meeting went well, i didn't need to shout and they handled things pretty well

We will need to see if the faults are fixed properly but they seem pretty keen to get everything sorted out so I am happy so it looks a bit more promising.

As far as the courtesy car goes, I was only looking for a high spec 307 or 406 but the After Sales Manager has given me his Y reg Rover 75 2.0 V6. Not exactly the right car for someone my age (maybe if i was 30yrs older) but you can't argue over it's class or value.

He also gave me if with a full tank of petrol but i can't promise it will go back that way

I will let you know how things go.

Derek

Rachel,

Forgot to say they expect to have my CC until approx the middle of next week, but they won't commit to a specific day so they don't let me down again.
