I wonder how much per litre my next fill up will be? £2 per litre perhaps?
And that's when spending money on a car with better mpg starts to show up in the household finances. :)

Current total mileage today, since April 21 =  7336 miles, Fuel consumption over that distance = 65.9MPG
Driving style: Mostly 'B' mode except where ACC is required, (which is not often).  ECO = Off

I have to confess that only about 12-15% of those miles are motorway miles and then generally circa 65Mph.
Most motoring is urban/country roads where speed limits are 50mph or less.

These figures are from the dashboard readouts, not really concerned about any errors in quoted/real results, since all my previous Jazz cars have used the same basis for consumption comparison.
Typically, they were usually in the mid 50s Mpg, so more than happy with the MK4 improvements.

Have now turned the 8000mile mark, which I guess now covers most of the Winter period, consumption over that mileage is still returning 66.0mpg, so still very pleased with results.

With the warmer weather, I managed 77.1mpg today over 17 miles of mixed 30/40/50/60 country and urban roads.

Car was already warm from previous trips today, I've noticed the engine doesn't always start up recently as it's not needed for heating with the warmer temperatures.

 But of course you do realize that that consumption over such a distance means nothing, literally nothing at all?
Example: We drove an almost identical trip of 22.5 kilometers (almost 14 mi) this morning. Start with COLD engine, air temperature + 7 °C, almost no wind.
Consumption according to BC: 3.4 l/100 km. = 83.1mpg.
Knowing that BC is a bit of a liar, I assume that the actual consumption was about 3.6 l/100 km. (78.5mpg)...
Unfortunately now the real world: the actual measured consumption of our Jazz over almost half a year is
4.49 l/100 km. = 62.9mpg. Almost 20 mpg less...

My long time average over 12,000 miles is almost exactly 50mpg.

Due to most driving being steady 70mph trips.


Good compared to other petrol cars with similar performance.

Spring seems to be arriving. For a trip across town (about 6 miles each way) my Crosstar reported 68.8 mpg on the outgoing journey and 93.4 mpg for the homeward leg about 1 1/4 hours later. There was no need for heating and the battery gauge was 4 bars when I started and finished (I didn't check it at the other end of the trip but the charge wmay have been higher). The homeward journey was slower due to more traffic. The average according to the computer is 81.1 mpg which means upper 70's mpg after allowing for the optimism.

My range display always shows around 400 - the only time I have seen more was when I first bought the car and also after a recent full power reset... where it shows 600 miles!

Looks like the computer is programmed to assume a high mpg when fully reset, I expect it to drop back down to the long term 400 miles range after a few tanks of fuel.

I had that in my Mk3 once after driving out of a car park and trundling 1.5 miles downhill.

I’m getting about 70mpg on country roads between Edinburgh and Kelso, which is 43 miles in length :)

A 50 mile round trip on the motorway today - fully loaded on the way out with 5 adults and suitcases, and just me on the return.

Up some hills on the motorway too, just under 53mpg was quite good for the whole trip from a cold start.

Acceleration a bit slower, but not much mooing if you use the trick of only pressing 1/3 of the way and holding. Braking a bit longer with all the weight, but not too bad.

Just  done a  run, from cold start. approx 10 miles in town, about half was  fairly gentle, but some   stop start traffic  and I had to stop at about  8 sets of traffic lights.  Then about  5 miles  suburban 40 mph limit.    Then 3 miles on country  A road , 50 -60 mph,  and about 10 miles  on  narrow country lanes , mostly under  30 mph, often having to slow or stop for oncoming cars.   ( I even got the occasional RDMS twitch   ;D)

 I wasnt trying to be specially frugal. Just went with the traffic flow.   76 mpg  on the fibometer. !!  :-*

In the next couple of months the M4 roadworks 50mph limit will be removed and I'll be closer to 60mph 65mph so I'll be out of the mpg race.
