What roughly is the mpg for one thats drivin easy

 

[daveR]

20 max.

 

[gerryh]

wow... wouldn't like to know what its like if you drive hard

 

[grale22]

If you drive SUPER easy (don't go on boost at all) you can get 26mpg.

I know because I wasted a tank of fuel testing it!! :shake:

 

[gerryh]

26 is not too bad... whats super easy though

'Super easy' is might have well bought a fiesta mode, you would be going faster and use less petrol.

If you buy one you won't end up with 26 as a rule, 20 is about right

not an everyday run around is the evo then... 20 mpg is low maybe too low for my pocket

When it comes to costs, fuel consumption is the best thing about an evo.

 

[gerryh]

O lord!!

 

[grale22]

If you're worried about the fuel consumption then I'm afraid you shouldn't run an Evo really.

It the insurance, servicing and repairs that really cost. With a service internal of 4500 miles it ends up very expensive if you use the car a decent amount.

Oh... and by SUPER EASY I meant that was the highest mpg I could get being very careful with my right foot and never spinning up the boost. Totally not possible with normal day-to-day driving. 20 mpg is about normal otherwise.

a full tank takes me 200 miles mixed hard and soft driving on my V,never had a tank full when driven completely hard but my 1 averaged around 12 miles per gallon she was damned thirsty

 

[gerryh]

Holy Moses... think I'll be reverting to plan B for my next car

 

[firebobby]

I averaged 25mpg on a 200 m/way run recently I was well chuffed as I normally average about 18

the best i ever got was 27 the whole way from stranrear to maidenhead.That was no boost at all and a constant 70mph.By this i mean no boost,thats no boost at all,no overtaking and again no boost.It normally did so little i wouldnt want to know

What is the point in seeing how many MPG you are going to get, you are buying one of the fasttess A to B CARS IN THE WORLD,and you want to know how many miles to the gallon you will get,the Evo is not the car for you.
I get about 4 mpg. :crackup: :crackup: :crackup:

This is a fair question.

Some people simply don't know and cannot afford 20 MPG. I would much rather answer a few threads like this and unfortunately dissapoint people than have another 'Micka' incident.

 

[gerryh]

@Weebl.... ya thanks for that... some people can't afford 20mpg ... thats why I asked about it... better to do your reseach on things first... an it's nice to be on a forum where there is plenty of friendly people willing you help you out an answer your questions.

Whats the micka incident??

Whats the micka incident??

Somebody bought a brand new 260 without doing any research at all, the running costs crippled him financially which means he needed to get rid of the car in a hurry, which means he got his pants pulled down over the price, crippling him even more.

Rather than take this as a lesson learned, he decided that this was all our fault and launched into a bit of a campaign. He still hangs about, making the odd random moronic comment.

Actually, he is quite amusing in a 'pet goldfish' kind of way

 

[gerryh]

your not serious... The poor fella...don't know what he blamin you guys for..I know its not right but I have to admit I laughed when I read that!!I'm sorry I'm going to go straight to hell for that! :angel:
