MID's are fairly accurate, they are not usually that far off 

[tigers_gonads]

Here is a question for yeh

I know the estates are slower due to the slight increase in weight and the drag off the tailgate.
How much does it affect the mpg ?

I'm asking because my first mig (2.5 manual saloon) would do 27mpg urban and 34 on a run.
All my estates since have never got even close

If running standard ECU/maps

17 round town have seen it at 22 but that was driving sensibly so to speak, not 100% sure on a motorway never really taken it on a long run

2.2 manual petrol 2001

[mickyboy123]

2.2 petrol auto. all town 2 to 4 mile journeys. avarage 19.2 but have a cam sensor prob at mo dont think that is helping none

3.0 elite mainly driving in & around London, chipped & use sport mode alot, 20.7 at an average speed of 15 mph  :'

2.6 v6 cdx manual, 24mpg average and 90% town driving.

how accurate is the range though on the mids, ive only dared go too 8 miles , mpg figures on the mid seem accurate on mine.

my new 2000 2.5 estate manual petrol is giving a satisfying 32mg overall each week, which includes 200 miles on the M4 every Friday, plus another 150 miles local running about. The similar car I scrapped in April peformed similarly. I have no idea what my 3.2 manual police special gives, because it has no computer.

Variable, I've run out at 8 miles before, but in another did another 18 miles after the range read 0, and still only got a shade over 73l in...

[Grrrrrr]

2.6 CDX, autobox, saloon: 26mpg on average. Once had 30 mpg on a motorway, round town is MUCH worse and I've had 7 mpg accelerating up a hill a few times - the nice one going to Beaconsfield out of Amersham.

[Magwheels]

Blimey, only 73litres in, they only hold 75!

If that was my 2.2 Dti I would have had a fright as once they run dry on fuel then they are pigs to start again as no self bleed. I could not risk driving around with just a couple of litres in the tank with a crap design like mine. The 2.5td's self bleed so I never worried and the petrol's are the same, run out pour some in and away you go......not with mine. 

[TheBoy]

The 2.5td's self bleed

Let me assure you they don't, no matter what the instructions say .

That said, easy to bleed, just crack the injector pipes.

[Magwheels]

Luckily I never had to try it as I never ran out of fuel, never had a problem after changing the fuel filter though I know some people do. I don't fancy trying my luck with the DTI either as I have heard they can be a real B###h. Still looking at the fuel consumption figures on here I am still rather glad I have one....so far....till the pump packs up.

Funny nobody else on here seems to own one!!!

2.5 V6 Auto...

21-22 round town (has been as low as 16 depending on use of throttle)

Not too sure about on a run but it's not bad based on needing to fill up

[Mr Gav]

I`ve been getting 31-33 mpg with mixed road driving these last two weekends, 80 on the motorway and 40-60 on the A roads with some town driving thrown in too, I`m quite happy with that
