How's everyone's mpg?

'55 plate Saab 9-3 sportwagon 1.9 diesel /w hirsch remap weighing in at 1550Kg unladen (well, with a driver and nothing else). Get about 60mpg on a motorway run.

I loaded it up with a family, a stack of luggage, and stuck a 2005 Bailey Pageant Provence on the back of it, and I just about eeked 29mpg out of it.

Now this was a Cavalier pic taken about 2000 towing a Bailey Majestic. Towing 19 mpg solo about 32. Engine was a 2.5 v6 just under 180 hp Suspension 'was lowered and stiffened, all in all a tow car and a half. That's if I've managed to post a link !!!!!

I cant offer towing MPG but very impressed with the Honda CR-v 2.2 2013 when solo. I measure on fuelly.com and currently get 49 mpg on average. I will be very intersted how towing will affect this.

New update on our status, we have changed the car to a Vauxhall Zafira Tourer and the caravan to a Swift Challenger Corniche max weight 1473kg. Car solo on a run will give us 55 mpg and towing we have managed 30mpg, happy days

Last trip Mazda 6 did comfortably over 30 mpg probably about 33 towing Quasar 564. It will do up to 60 solo on motorway and just over 40 on mixed driving. Like everything else though it depends how you drive it.

21.4 MPG from the first half of my first tank full in the Saab

I imagine once I stop playing it will increase somewhat, be interesting to see what I get when I'm towing!

Don't know the towing figure but 370 miles towing and 513 miles touring average 27½ miles to gallon in Disco Auto.

Honda CRV uprated to 190 BHP towing Elddis Affinity 574 getting 34mpg. Solo on a 1500 mile trip around ROI 49.8mpg average.

 

[Smidsy47]

2004 Picasso 2.0 petrol auto, 31mpg normally but around 20mpg when towing Swift Challenger 470SE (960kg unladen)

1st weekend away with the Saab and the towing parts there and back returned 24.1 MPG there and 22.9 MPG back.

Certainly happy with that!
