Moderators PTR200S Posted April 16, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted April 16, 2020 My V6 3 litre version averages around 22mpg and down to 19 when fully loaded under normal traffic condidtions, that is, town driving, stop start, traffic lights etc With the lack of traffic under lockdown conditions my first outing showed an average of 28mpg against 22mpg.!!! Under out of town conditions and 50 / 60mph it is recording just over 30mpg....just shows what traffic conditions can do to your vehicles fuel consumption 🙂 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How many litres / gallons is "£40" ?? or what do you pay per litre? My read out shows about 10.8 on a long run converted to mpg is about 30.5mpg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just put super in at 119 litre, 10p over the standard....odd that really, used to be 8p difference....someone getting the difference in the back pocket so to speak!!!! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st123 Posted April 17, 2020 Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 yes super 1.27 litre when i went to cardiff, can get it for 1.16 now 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted April 17, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted April 17, 2020 Ah, right its actually, virtually, the same consumption as mine as you show 30.3 mpg using your 1.27 a litre and 210 miles. Our engines must be running the same and really well !!!! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have never had it that high except downhill with a wind behind !!! Changes of wheel size seems to affect that reading, probably part of Honda complicated calculation stuff they do !!!! As a matter of interest, what size wheels and tyres are you on now ??? I am still looking for two 18" Honda Prestige original wheels....just in case you see any going !!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted May 11, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 This lockdown has done wonders for my fuel consumption! £30 worth of fuel over 7 weeks with just under half of that left in the tank ! A run out on Saturday morning of around 8 miles or so, on open roads, saw consumption head into the 11.2 plus litres per km, 31.5 mpg...truly amazing! I would love to see the Coupe mpg under the same conditions to compare the two V6 generational engines power versus kerbweight ....but it is currently a nursery for birds with the only consumption being a steady stream of worms 🙄 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted May 24, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted May 24, 2020 As lockdown appears to be over according to the number of people out and about the Elysion fuel consumption has increased to just over 24mpg around town. The result of traffic queues, lights, roundabouts and general congestion....the fact I am out, doing some work now is probably what's happening everywhere. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted June 15, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted June 15, 2020 Currently running at 25.5 mpg , mixed driving, fully loaded ,on Shell Super ......112 per litre with another 3p off per litre 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted July 13, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted July 13, 2020 For some reason fuel consumption has improved somewhat, I am carrying less of a load at the moment though , gone back to 28mpg on average and a long run at a steady average 50mph camera speed.......40.9 mpg !!! In 3 cylinder mode and cruise control mode... Sneaking suspicion that binning the Magnatec 10/40 and going back to Tradetec 10/40ss has helped. I think I changed it before lockdown so as it's only recently had a mileage increase that it is now showing up..anecdotal evidence only though 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted November 1, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted November 1, 2020 Elly running well, averaged about 31 mpg this week, mixed driving conditions, over about 350 miles, definitely improved somewhat after changing back to the Tradtec oil from Magnatec. Why? no idea but pretty pleased just the same ! Still can't get st123 11.4 consumption but its getting there ! Got a slight pull on the left side, suspect a caliper in need of service again, might help mpg too! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted November 14, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted November 14, 2020 With the calipers done an improvement was in the offing except for the fact I have spent hours in traffic due to roadworks EVERYWHERE !! What gets me is the traffic lights the council insist on having now even for a 20 foot length of works on one side of the road !!......I have gone through these in the past, not sure how legal it is but I am not waiting on a 20 foot gap when everything is clear, late at night for instance ! Upshot was an average of 7.8 km to the litre, 22mpg in real money !! So, Mr council, the slower we go, the more fuel used and therefore more emissions are produced...... 😇 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted November 19, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted November 19, 2020 The bit that annoys me the most is once more due to lockdown, all the road workers are sat at home on 80% of their wages while the potholes are in full breeding mode. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted May 4, 2021 Author Moderators Report Share Posted May 4, 2021 Its very windy today, bad weather generally really. Everyone is off the road ! Going through towns , mostly kept going , no traffic jams, 23.5mpg...almost fully loaded as well. The best thing was I was able to set cruise control on some nice clear roads out of towns, cruising for two or three miles without interruption at 50mph (sat nav checked speed ) The onboard fuel consumption gismo showed a consistent 35.6 mpg, it didn't waver at all !!! OK I know that dash units can be out by 10% but I will still take that at 32mpg as a win 😆 I am officially impressed !! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed. If only the so and sos who make the rules did their own similar research and published it widely, we may have different traffic calming measures. I am calm and my cars are calm when we are moving at a reasonable speed! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted October 16, 2021 Author Moderators Report Share Posted October 16, 2021 Pretty bad this week on fuel consumption, superunleaded e5... The traffic has been horrendous again....dawdling between 15mph in 20mph zones , 26mph in 30mph zones etc etc,,,no one willing to overtake anything...had to do a couple of three car blast past overtakes, just " dus my ed in " ... Result, 21mpg to 23mpg max , arggh ...why can't these people go back to their offices , thought furlough had ended but it seems not..still can't speak to council departments, or insurance companies, tax office, dvla....some of my customers work for general civil service...they are still at home too !!!!! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had a similar experience after getting petrol on friday,some numpty pulled out just ahead of me in a white Ford SUV looking thing, think it was a Kuga but can't be sure. Anyway, in a 30 limit, 22-26mph (it wasn't even a steady speed), in a 60, 40-45mph but would speed up for no apparent reason when the oncoming traffic disappeared, in a 40 it would be 32-35mph. Took ages to get to a point i could pass it because of oncoming traffic 😮 People like that shouldn't be on the road as not only was their speed up and down like a brides nightie, they were also all over the road like a mad womans breakfast, another factor that prevented me getting past sooner. Fairly sure if the fuzz saw them driving like that they would be pulled on suspicion of driving while under the influence................. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted December 31, 2021 Report Share Posted December 31, 2021 Had a decent run in mine the other week for the first time in ages, 260 mile round trip to Silverstone and back. Most of it on cruise at 70 and mine averaged 22.3 MPG, that's pretty horrific even for a 3.5. No idea why it's that bad? Maybe just needs a good service? Going through the history a bit deeper and all the uk services have been done by dealers so i'm assuming that means oil and possibly oil filter only. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
