zollburgers Posted June 22, 2011 Posted June 22, 2011 I thought some of you were exaggerating with the mpg figures as mine showed 26.0 when I bought it and had slowly crept up to 26.2! I reset it today at the start of a rather long drive and at a steady indicated 75-80mph it was pushing 35 mpg! It was still over 34 for the whole trip, which including a bit of hoonage once off the motorway. I'm actually quite shocked, but in a good way. Quote
webbtay Posted July 12, 2011 Posted July 12, 2011 23mpg with a mix of mainly central london slooow driving and a few longer trips. weekends only though so no rush hours Quote
Greeny Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 wow lots of good results. for the lots of round town driving i was doing i rarely saw more than 16-17!!. got 35 on a long run but who sits at 65mpg for hour after hour..zzzzzzz Quote
lukeaJones Posted July 13, 2011 Posted July 13, 2011 on the motorway i get a solid 32 mpg if i sit between 60 and 90 it doesnt change, day to day driving i usually average 22 mpg which i wont complain about luke Quote

jumping350 Posted July 14, 2011 Posted July 14, 2011 does a d1 controller thingy bring about any better mpg results?? Quote
Chris`I Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 does a d1 controller thingy bring about any better mpg results?? If you set it right. All it does is dull your throttle inputs, so if you are constantly on and off the throttle it will average it out a bit. Nothing you couldnt do with good throttle finesse Quote

All it does is dull your throttle inputs, so if you are constantly on and off the throttle it will average it out a bit. Nothing you couldnt do with good throttle finesse The best controller is very cheap - your right foot If you are concerned about mpg just get into 6th gear asap, even by-passing lower gears on the way if the conditions suit using the minimum revs -the great torque of the 350/370 engine will make that relatively easy. Although why anyone buys a ZED and wants to cut mpg rather than enjoying its V6 is Quote
jumping350 Posted July 15, 2011 Posted July 15, 2011 been doing that for months skipping gears cruising in 6th but your so tempted all the time to blast it and all that hard work is undone so easily lol at 134.9 a litre is a good enough excuse for me Quote
