Nearly 37mpg out of the 5g SiR

Post by Tomley » Tue Jun 28, 2016 4:02 pm

So, just done 192miles (single A roads and Motorway) 70ish MPH on the motorway

Filled up at the start, filled up again just now.

Used 23.7l over the 192 miles, so unless my Maths has failed me, that's just under 37mpg! (UK gallons)

Sound about right for a JDM H22a?

Sounds like wishful thinking in any 'Lude I've ever owned.. but if the maths don't lie, that's really good going! (I say 'if' because I can't be bothered to check) :)

The most I got was 350ish out of a full tank on my S.. And that was motorway driving and a tiny bit of VTECing.. 8-) :idea:

Same. 31 mpg is my record (99+ H22a8 so not as good on the motorway)
