Worst mpg's possible?

[AlexD333]

Yup, I'm just interested, me and the missus are working out worst case scenario mpg's for a small trip :thumb2

Any ideas y'all? :naughty

 

[zippy656]

Use vegge oil

2/3 cost of diesel

 

[briggie]

worst mpg would be zero mpg .... for example if you had a serious fuel leak :augie

if you are talking about your motor you should get 27 to 30 on a run, Rick

Get about 24-25 around the doors in the T2 but can get 32 on a nice run:thumb2
Best MPG i've had was 42 on a long run in my old astra 2.2 & I was fully loaded doing 70-80 so could have got a bit more I think if i'd have driven slower & didn't have all the camping gear in which dropped the suspension by 2":lol The worst i've had was from my 4L disco2 V8 a lovely 4mpg when in sport mode & giving it loads of stick:lol:lol
Oh only ever owned 2 diesels in my life & both have been Terrano's

 

[terrano bob]

what :doh does it matter if you are not going a long distance :thumbs

I know my vehicle is patrol but worst has been 17mpg towing tintent but that is with a fixed solid viscous unit. Best was 26mpg towing a heavier tintent with working viscous unit. I was shocked at the difference that a perfect working cooling system can make

Sweet thanks all, and zippy I'm running on pure veggie (well with a splash of whatever I can get my hands on) :lol

Yeah it was just terrano mpg I was after, we've got 125 miles to cover and debating how many 20l barrels to get :thumb2

I don't tend to hang about on the motorway either :augie

Pete, I'm with you on this one..:augie

Zero Mpg if he starts his journey and leaves it in neutral for a day and a half, before realising he hasn't gone anywhere...:doh

Or spend several hours on the M25 carpark..:augie

For best MPG, buy a Land Rover, join the AA or RAC and get towed home every trip as always...:augie:nenau:nenau:nenau

So you can get between 0 mpg and infinity mpg depending on how you drive it, and where.

Driving it all day in 1st can cause very poor mpg:doh

 

[terrano bob]

he's right you know :lol :lol :lol :thumbs

 

[AlexD333]

:doh

I Did enjoy your theory though rustic

 

[AlexD333]

he's right you know :lol :lol :lol :thumbs

I guess rustic has had his truck for some amount of time now :augie

How long was it again :nenau :naughty

Well driving at 60mph/2500rpm I get 100-110 miles from 1/4 tank of fuel but if your going to be doing 70-80 you'll prob get about 80-90 miles to a 1/4 tank

 

[rustic]

:doh

I'm just working on a theory of negative mpg...
ie the more you drive, the more your tank fills up, so after a long journey, you take some out and use it to fill your wife's car.




This will take some time......






working on it....






might involve a Land Rover again though.....:doh







might involve a Land Rover on the back of an AA relay truck...:augie






Oh no dipping the AA trucks fuel tank....:naughty







Got it.....







It does involve a Land Rover on the back of an AA relay truck, :nenau
Now most cars don't burn fuel 100% so you could stick a pipe on the AA trucks exhaust, and as long as you don't die of carbon Monoxide poisoning, you could extract the unburnt fuel from the truck, process it, filter it, and then transfer it to your fuel tank.

Sorted.
Patent applied for...
My idea...
Rustic

 

[-=Alex=-]

I am doing around 20-22mpg on 100% veg oil
Drops to 14mpg when towing 1t trailer
And then down to 9mpg when towing another car on the trailer (around 2 tons, probably), all on veg oil.

I am not running the risk of being banned by a moderator again.... see
"Check Engine Warning" Thread... :lol:lol:lol

Instead:- Next year it will be 20 :lol:lol:lol

His response was.... I wasn't going to mention the war....:doh
