My old 998 did 56mpg @ 50mph.

The mg 1293 engine I got now does about 34, worst I got in that was 22mpg

200 miles at 1.38.9 a litre....

was'that then

how many liters did you use or how much did it cost in all?

[iMurray]

full tank! literally had nothing in there.

Mpi by the way

[harrymini2012]

the capacity of a mpi tank is 7.5 gallons i have read. so saying you have used all off that, 200 divided by 7.5 is 26.6 mpg. think thats right anyway lol

[harrymini2012]

you may have used a bit less than 7.5 gallons tho, so it could be 27-28 mpg

"Treat the pedals like money sticks" Haha love it

I drove my 1977 1098 70,000 miles (but I think it's more like 170,000) clubby estate to North Wales last week. 250 miles each way. Worked out about £30 each way which put it at the 50mpg mark.
I slipstreamed lorries on the way there at about 55, but couldn't be bothered on the way back. Did about 60-70 on the way back. Didn't seem to make a huge amount of difference fuel wise... But it's hard to tell exactly how much fuel you've actually used. Unless you rive until you run out!

Frank averages around 40mpg - traffic she eats it! And if I put my foot down she must be doing 5mpg..haha but it is worth it for the noise and speed. On a drive I have got 48mpg out of her though!

My best so far for going in and out of Uni is 45MPG, worst was 25.5MPG, but that was just after I had my engine sorted.

All depends how immature I feel on the commute.

Usually get around 50mpg+ on a 998cc stage 1 kit, well tuned on the rollers. I do drive like his original old dear owner though...!

turns out to be pretty true.


oh my goodness look at that lovely lilac house.... FU golf trying to take me off the line!

I've been working it out the past few fill ups and I average 32 mpg. That is with mix roads from towns cruising at about 25 - 30 to motorways cruising at 70.
