The F-Type Hypermiling Challenge!

[Jaguandy]

Fully laden for a weekend away. The most economical car I have ever owned. Its usually around 26mpg overall.

 

[Chilliblu]

not trying to get great mileage but for a 4 cylinder driving normally this is what i get

 

[Millwheel]

Did a decent run today with a full load (2 adults plus full boot, maybe 220 kg) on my P300.
Avg speed rather higher than many postings here but economy still very good. P-Zero tyres at 37psi.

]Do I win?

 

[Philskill]

Must be the slick black slippy paintwork as dont think i'd get that out of my P300!

My V8 uses more fuel than that with the engine off! :lol:
Awesome consumption figure.

 

[Millwheel]

Did the reverse journey to the one above and got the same result near enough!
Same load, same tyre pressures.
All premium fuel E5 which should deliver slightly better MPG then E10 while we buy the stuff in litres, not kg.

Interesting but doesn't all this seem a little sad
If I seriously cared about mpg I'd just take my child murdering Diesel, drive it like a nun with 9 points and coast everywhere. But this is a 340 hp cat and the more fuel and rubber I use up and the louder I make it, the bigger my grin :mrgreen:

 

[Millwheel]

Of course, but it’s fun to see what these engines can do; the P300 is clearly optimised for motorway driving.
When opened up, the results are very different.


Some fabulous, empty driving roads in Northumbria, well worth the journey for jaded Southerners.

 

[Jaguandy]

I had a gentle drive with full luggage and passenger. Pretty good mpg for a 5L R.

Here's a typical commuting type journey, with a mixture of city congestion, fast dual carriageway and some B roads with the occasional full power overtake. Can't complain at that!

I trust you had the exhaust open for the Hindhead Tunnel.
The average speed check almost begs you to do several pulls from low speed

Might have done . The mpg on the return journey was a little bit less as I wasn't as well behaved! It was the tunnel that did it and just got me on that frame of mind .

 

[mickjaguar]

As a comparison, pretty similar sort of journey type and length to Millwheels' today. SVR=32.4mpg vs P300=37.4mpg, circa 15%.

My V6 was usually bang in the middle of those two figures, on a long distance cruise.

This is the best result my InControl has shown up - but I already know it lies slightly (i.e. the claim doesn't match when you refill it to the click). Still, my head has been impressed with the capability for economy from a completely heart-driven purchase!

 

[Hazbean]

I achieved 31.4 mpg average in an SVR over 2-3 weeks covering 2290 miles on holiday, this included short bursts on the autobahn at 150 mph plus, however there was one leg of the holiday from Italy covering around 115 miles over about 2 hours where I averaged 41.6 mpg.
I have proof, see below.

I did Bristol to Telford a couple of days ago, 111 miles, 51mph av and saw the heady heights of 40.8mpg. Amazing!
