Title: 108 mpg, end to end.
Post by: Jocko on March 28, 2019, 09:19:28 PM: This evening I came along my usual route from the A909, via the B925 to the A910. 6.0 miles, junction to junction. I reset my ScanGauge E Current trip, as I started. I got a clear run, and end to end I recorded 108 mpg on the ScanGauge. I have attached a video of the trip, so you can see the route and the fact I was not crawling along.

An all time record for me.

Pretty good though, it shows you what can be achieved if it wasn't for all those annoying cars on the roads.

I hate to think what the mpg would be like in the other direction. I never go that way. I remember it from my cycling days!

Amazed.

Post by: Jocko on March 29, 2019, 03:15:07 PM: I will never beat that. The road was clear and dry, with nothing to interfere with my progress. A warm summer day may have been better, but the ScanGauge only works in whole numbers above 100, and to squeeze another mpg would be an effort.

Post by: nigelr on March 29, 2019, 09:13:57 PM: That's amazing! Well done! The best I've managed is just under 60mpg.

Post by: Jocko on March 29, 2019, 09:26:57 PM: But that road is a dream for mpg. Earlier on in the week I managed 92 mpg and that was having to slow down for a lorry reversing into a property and virtually stopping, for a Stop/Go at white line painting.

Post by: gtd2000 on April 06, 2019, 02:08:45 PM: That's an impressive MPG!

I achieved 76MPG from St Boswells to Spittal (Berwick) not long after my GF was complaining that her "new" Jazz didn't get as much to the gallon at the "old" one ;D

Think around 63 was the best for the "old" one but it did tend to show higher average MPG figures for local running around.

Post by: Jocko on April 18, 2019, 06:37:52 PM: Today I drove the same route in the other direction. The Links Market (huge funfair), is making its annual visit to Kirkcaldy, which closes the main thoroughfare. This leads to hold ups on all the usual routes, and the Auchtertool road was the road that I new was clear. End to end, in similar conditions to my 108 mpg, I was only able to squeeze out 48.7 mpg. Shows how biased the road is in the one direction.

Post by: John Ratsey on April 18, 2019, 10:44:55 PM: Height difference between the two ends and the wind direction/strength could both be factors.

Post by: Jocko on April 19, 2019, 07:51:00 AM: Height difference is the main factor. Wind was next to zero both days, and both were dry and sunny.
