Driving up to blackpool at weekend from nottingham in the Zed. 121 miles apparently. Anyone know roughly how much it will cost each way in fuel on a 1992 Jap Import N/A?

You 'should' get 30+ mpg at a steady speed.

 

When i bought my car i drove it back from swindon and i got 33mpg at a steady 80mph and mine is a 1992 jap tt auto - NEVER done anywhere near that since though!

 

My dad has a n/a and he worked out he got 27mpg over 1000 miles of every kind of driving.

how much is that roughly then? in pound notes? lol!

£20 each way (so £40 total) if you take it steady

£20 each way (so £40 total) if you take it steady

 

I'd agree with that. :)

Thats not bad,

 

I ask as in mine, I only seem to get 60KM for £10 with all town driving and lots of stop starting!

You wanna think yourself lucky, i get a lot less than that, however i don't drive 'conservatively' if you know what i mean. lol ;)

and there was me thinking i was using way too much fuel! thats normal then!?

well I know if I drive steady I get a return of 30mpg but when I drive it like I want to I get 160 miles to a tank

And I will agree £40 should cover trip from nottingham to blackpool as I have been doing 143 miles a night between nottingham and leeds and it cost me £24.00 i fuel at a steady 65/70

and there was me thinking i was using way too much fuel! thats normal then!?

 

Yeah, i think it is :)

 

I only get 150 to a tank when i drive it likes its supposed to be driven. lol You have to drive like a granny to get good mpg, but heh if you are like me i did'nt buy a zed for the mpg. lol

ZX-EYES if you use the 5th gear you will get the extra 10 miles lol

I only have 4 automatic ones. LOL

Like any car: lots of low gear work small mpg; High revs high speed low mpg.

I find keeping it under 3.5k revs gives ok mpg.but never much more 30.

15 in town.

so my fuel consumption is relatively normal then!

30 mpg on the motorway how!

 

i got 17 last time i drove down to the pod on the m1!

I get bad fuel consumption, but not that bad! lol

 

On the motorway it is reletively easy to get the mpg upto about 25+.

well i have a new engine now so i'll have to work it out on the next trip

its all down to how you pull of, change gear and slow down. All these are factors in good mpg

so whats the "right" way? lol!? town driving is a pain though!

Off topic. Is your 300 a black t-bar with alloys and aftermarket rear lights??

 

mpg for me is about £45 to 100 miles on the b roads :wack:

No mate! Gunmental Gray!

 

What about cost for 120 miles on M Roads?

so my fuel consumption is relatively normal then!

 

Yep, very typical, mine is a TT and typicaly i'll get 180 - 200 miles per tank, but most of that is town driving, 300+ miiles is typical of motorway cruising with

 

Depends how many ponnies you have under the bonnet.

:bow:

A score.

lol, i might get mid 20's from mine on the motorway, but i dont think the chipped ecu in mine does it any favors...

In my tt I do about 100 miles ish on £25 of shell fuel, steady and hard driving, not alot really! but mine drinks more on motorways less on A roads.. But at around 150 mph she tends to drink a bit more!!!!
