Fuel consumption

I have a mk2 rev 1 na engine. Am getting about 380 miles to a full tank, mainly motorway and not thraped!! Does this sound about right?? What are you getting then?

[jasongtr]

14 mpg

[g.lewarne]

i get about 350 ish to a full tank (F to last white line) on my Rev 1 N/A if i drive like im on my driving test


but when i use the loud pedal its not unknown for that to drop to 250

[cvega666]

300-320 tops. I have a semi heavy right foot...

[Shmed]

Sounds good to me! My 2 litre 3 series only gets 400, and that costs £70 to fill!

[TheBaker]

Sounds right ish, I got roughly 327 on a near enough complete motorway journey.

Be way down in the 200's with town driving.

380 sounds very good. Sure you're not in kilometers?

I average around 300 mile per tank.
Best was 471.2 though

Easy highway, without turbo'ing it all the time, I get around 5~600 km.

£15 quid per 100 miles is pretty good going for an NA MR2 nowadays. That equates to 37mpg at £1.119 per litre.

[HighwayStar]

I'm pretty much 360/380 miles per tank also. Probably over 400 if I risked running it right down. Been checking it for a while now I'm doing a commute to work again. Mixed motorway and town but mainly thrashed. Engine has about 20 miles short of 211000 miles on it.

PS. First post! Hello fella and welcome to the site. New to ownership?

[stevened]

Thanks folks, pleased to know its getting a good mpg for its age!
Was driving my girlfriends Bluemotion Polo before getting my motor back on the road which does about 77mpg!! So got a bit used to that! Back to real driving now!

[John145]

Yeah but did you ever enjoy the experience behind the wheel??

[Ren0W]

Depends, if his girlfriend was participating in any way

rev3 turbo with 850cc injectors and a power FC...265 miles to a full tank yesterday at 4k rpm in top most of the time...

A few years ago I was getting about 10 km per litre and reserve light came on and took about 40 ltrs to fill up.... suggesting 550 km/340 miles to run the tank dry although I would not run it that low.

Over the last year it has been doing better than that with about 10-11 km per litre suggesting upto 380 miles to run the tank dry.

I think these figures are pretty much the economy figure in the owner manual - not bad for a car that is now 16 yrs old and high mileage.

I found the economy does vary with super unleaded fuel supplier with a difference of about 60 km for the reserve light to come on.

On the other hand, how accurate is the tacho and fuel gauge?
If I do 50 miles on a route, my mates 52 plate beemer on exactly the same route only clocks up 45 miles. I am on stock wheels too.
I guess 10% doesnt make much difference until you go passed a speed camera or average speed check.

Rev3 turbo 20p a mile on super unleaded but it's just failed mot on emissions and I can smell it's running super rich although the plugs never get more than mid brown and dry?

[N9THX]

not sure how to delete a post i did twice so this is here

[prb]

No idea what MPG the MR2 Turbo does - its not the sort of car that MPG matters, I just drive it and fill it up when the light comes on, which is once every other month - it doesn't get used much any-more, bit of a wasted car.

Mine is in a petrol station about every 3 days when it is not the motorbike season

[Ren0W]

Mine twice a week

When I'm heading towards my girlfriend... and when I'm leaving to my place again.

That way my tank doesn't empty below 1/4 left.
AND those stations are BP Ultimate. Which are on my way anyways then, and the best to get in the area.
