Guest kookai Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 Can anyone please help as to an average mpg the Galaxy 2.0 16v petrol should be.On an approx 300 mile journey ,fully laiden with the family, suitcases and four bikes strapped on the back , i managed to use about Quote
Guest Andy Posted September 20, 2004 Report Posted September 20, 2004 8 valve-and crap i think generaly my 2.0ltr is poor on fuel but i still love it and dont worry about how much it uses etc because my motorbike does zillions of miles on an egg cup,well sort of,next time i will take the natural step..A DIESEL.... :D :D :D ;) Quote
Guest Andyjflet Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Sorry to harp on about the TDi again but I had the good fortune of being able to take my car around the bowl at Millbrook yesterday, I set the cruise at 100mph and did 10 miles with an average fuel consumption of 35.7mpg....... think I could have got more as the variable rate was flicking around 30-40mpg depending on the wind on whichever side of the bowl. :rolleyes: Quote
Masked Marauder Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 When I went to Cornwall last week I got over 600 miles from a tank of diesel. That was a 306 mile drive down and the rest running around when there. Oh and was family, luggage etc. on the way down. Quote
MrT Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Divide your horsepower by your mpg then the petrol looks better! Meaningless figure but who cares! Quote
Richmond Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 Divide your horsepower by your mpg then the petrol looks better! Meaningless figure but who cares! bhp.gallons/mile. Like it. You could always convert it to kilogram litre metres per cubic second, of course. I'm getting about 8 bhp.gallons/mile (about 17 tonne.m.l/cubic second), I think. Quote
Guest gritrash Posted September 21, 2004 Report Posted September 21, 2004 you'll need to factor in wind resistance at surface area squared up to 60mph and cubed over 100mph Quote
