Hmmmm, hate to say put a downer on this, but I'm pretty sure the majority of people on here measure their fuel consumption in mpg. I'm sure you can calculate it, but then there are loads of threads on this forum already with relation to fuel consumption.........

I've added MPG to the template. I know there's loads of threads, so why not have 1 thread and 1 standard template for ease of comparison. Also your fuel economy changes when you modify your car so would be easier to track and compare in a single thread.
 
I agree it's a good idea:)
But you'll soon get people saying;
'I get x miles to a £10'

And then it will all get pointlessly in accurate.

Do you guys never fill your tank to the top?

Fill tank to top, reset trip meter. Next time fill up to top again and record how many km/miles you have done. Then apply some simple maths.

Or... smartphone users get some fuel logging app :)
 
I fill to the top and track mine,
On my phone so will fill this out on computer at some point.
I can easily get 40mpg though. :)
 
I get about 250 to a tank , but really who cares if I wanted a more economical car or if I was so bothered about mpg I would of bought a diesel not a ek9 lol
 
I filled up with 34 litters of regula unleaded and managed 360 miles on motorway
 
70 miles to £20, v-tec most of it.... only once filled it with £40 and got 205 miles
 
I only get a max of 400kms to the tank on the dc2 if I'm lucky!!
 
350km on my ek9 this time around( first time I have ever checked) ....but I don't worry much about economy....I have my car to race, and have fun with.... :)
 
45L 200 miles mixed driving ,high comp b20. Hope it's just due to running rich not being rolling roaded yet...
 
I just filled up my B18c4 Turbo yesterday. I got 186 miles to 36liters which i thought was quite good for mixed driving and 307BHP :clap:
