Club 80-90 Forums

Just wondering what miles per gallon people are achieving on different engines and conversions?

I run a 2.1td pug engine and filled up a few days before vanfest then again on the way home it worked out at 33 point something miles to the gallon. That was a couple of days around the town and mostly sat at 75-80 on the sat nav. I personally feel this is quite good but i have nothing to compare it to so just wondering what everyone else are getting on different petrol and diesel engines?

30~32 all day long from a Scooby 2.2 even towing my trailer too!

19mpg at the mo, out of an empty panel van running lpg on a 1.9dg

That sounds good on the scooby 2.2 what sort of motorway speeds you running?

sit at 60 with trailer, a fair whack more with out it!

Just done a 600 mile trip out of £100, I think this makes it around £32 to £33. Just spent hours sorting out the carb fitting an electrical cut out for the auto choke, giving it a thourough service etc etc. Running a lowered 1.9DG on a tin roof.

Bloody ell, that's pretty good.
Mines a solid 20-22, goes down to 15-17 if I'm in a hurry:-)

2ltr Aircooled hi-top with far too many toys on board:-

20mpg on a long 60mph run.

16mpg if hustled.

Oh, and the wrong distributor, a 009.

last tank of LPG and I did 20 MPG with mixed driving

15 - 20 mpg fully loaded 2ltr Aircooled hightop. Gas conversion makes it £ equivalent of about 30 - 35.

About 24 MPG in a 1.9 petrol at a steady 55mph.

Well either my maths are wrong or I will have to check the bodywork to see if it made of carbon fibre, thought it was too good to be true. Will get back to you on this one

600km per tank, 1.9td Syncro

Last trip we got 21.9mpg over 2400 miles. This was cruising at around 70ish with a trailer 4 bikes, camping gear and 4 people, plus a heavy syncro hightop.

This is the worst fuel consumption i have got, mainly due to very heavy winds, and we were getting 540km to a full tank.

The trip before that we achieved 24.5mpg over 2500 miles, but that was with favorable winds and no trailer.

34.2 the last time i worked it out on a tankful of diesel in a 1.9 1Y. That was a mix of motorway driving (between 55 and 60) and A-roads and dodgy country lanes in Norfolk.
