What MPG are you getting?

My wife has had a 1.2 Ford KA since 2012. It’s a 2010 model and had 25k on it when we bought it. It’s just topped 50k which means she’s averaged about 2500 miles a year. It never goes in long runs. Maybe out of town shopping once a week, which is about 25 miles return.

Just checked this morning and it’s still averaging 43.4 mpg. It was 44.5 before E10.

Fiat 500 based. Fiat engine I think. Ford suspension though, which makes it a better drive than the 500.

We keep thinking about an EV for her as we have solar panels. Anyone had a Zoe or an older Leaf? Any good? I’m always wary of buying a second hand EV.

Mind you at £30 a year car tax and no issues with MOT’s I’m not sure if it’s worth the expense for 2500 miles a year (I guess I could use the EV more around town).

No - we just don’t have size 13’s
You know what they say about shoe size??

Yeah - that’s why many soldiers in the Iraq army had boots two sizes too big evidently. They lost on blisters

Our 155 auto is coming out similar to our last 125 manual, averaging around 40 mpg. So happy enough with that

Thought I would try some hypermiling on yesterday's commute.
130 miles of A roads with a couple of city centre stops on the way E10 fuel as well, so pleasantly surprised.
Normally hit around 50mpg on that run.

That is impressive! I got 454 out of a tank, showing 18 left to empty recently. 350 miles was motorway, 2 adults plus luggage. Rest A and B roads and local town / city driving. Assume mpg will improve with more miles though? Only got 1500 on clock at mo.

Filled up this morning and expecting to get over 500 miles out of a full tank. That's not bad.

Got 52.9 on a 41 mile journey to Leeds and back yesterday. All in Sport and not hanging about on the A road(70mph) and the outer ring road in Leeds (40mph).

Happy with that.
