Fuel economy, on a run

Having just returned from a weeks holiday in the new forest, I thought I’d share my fuel economy according to the cars trip readings, adaptive cruise set to 66 on the way down ( actually showed 60/61, ) and way back was very similar,again with a steady speed although, this varied due to traffic and roadworks, still, not bad, just hope my next car will better it

Don’t think you will do much better except maybe a diesel , got to be happy with that.

This was ours from a Southampton run from Warrington and back last year. All on 1 tank...just.

Just back from a longish run (over 200 mile) air conditioning on but easy on the throttle, believe it or not I hit 70mpg's, honestly can't believe it myself, although the missus went to the shops and it's now around 68mpg

Yes that is really quite impressive. I currently have a running average of 36.8 on my 5 week old ST which I think is also quite impressive.

It's your username that caught my eye though.

Also I was born and raised in the town that is around 6 miles from you...you know the one that used to have a large maternity hospital.

I’ve it 43mpg in the ST, my fiesta mk8 1.1 zetec I got 59mpg with a trip up to Northumberland last year, no turbo or battery assist, happy with that

My 36.8 is the cumulative average over the 5 weeks since I took delivery, with every individual journey being no more than 6 miles.
If I was to take a longer open road journey I would be confident of hitting high 40's to low 50's.
I have always been able to achieve very good fuel consumption with all my cars. My previous car for example I could hit mid 40s on a run and that had over 300bhp.

That's good, mine since I took delivery which I haven't touched or reset is reading 40.9
Though to be honest done 13k and just had a service which feels better and so is the mpg

Also didn't buy a full fat ST to hit MPG targets, it sits on normal until it has warmed up then Sport and then a 2 minute tick over for the turbo when parked up
Winter hits mpg with the cold air too
