Lamin72 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Managed to get this MPG on the M1 just now... Just wondered if anyone else had beat this! attachment=9975:350mpg.jpg] Quote
Dblock Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Yaaaay another mpg thread! It will go like this Oh you need to do 1mpg to have fun. Oh if you care about mpg you shouldn't be driving a zed. Sigh... Either way the zed is a good gt and the torque makes it great in fuel IMO. Just shoes you can have your cake and eat it sometimes! 6 Quote
Lamin72 Posted December 17, 2013 Author Posted December 17, 2013 Yeah I love it and I didn't buy it for MPG of course, just thought I'd share what it was as it surprised me! Sorry if its been done before... Quote

davedutch Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 Mostly get 17 mpg which everything considered is fine by me for a "toy" however last sat drove sensibly -never above 3, 000 rpm on a trip to buster(mostly motorway) and got over 35mpg but was bored to tears so came back a different route on nicer roads and mpg back to normal. If you want economy you have to sacrifice the reason for owning a zed (imo) Quote
Stu_2424 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 (edited) Had a run up to TDI on Monday so reset the trip to see what it would say up the motorway. Got there and it read 36.1mpg!!! I blame the many 50 limits in the way ha Edited December 17, 2013 by Stu_2424 Quote

KUGT4 Posted December 17, 2013 Posted December 17, 2013 hasn't someone posted 99 mpg on here somewhere??? Quote
Jp606 Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Yeah me, my Z is converted to run on love and kisses and I average about 99mpg. 1 Quote
KyleR Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Downhill in 6th will get you almost unlimited mpg until either the hill ends or the car slows down to around 800rpm. Quote
alpha_channel Posted December 18, 2013 Posted December 18, 2013 Well it may be a bit boring (and lord knows I'm as addicted to the loud pedal as anyone) but I kinda need threads like this as I need a wee bit of convincing I can get an average of thirty on a run as when I do get one it'll be my daily runner to work and back (an average of 50 mile round trip, limited to a max of 40-60 thanks to traffic... well mostly but I get to head off into the Durham dales) until I get my Rover 200 Coupe back on the road (itself only averaging 30mpg, then again it's fifteen years old). Mind you it'll be a mighty battle not to prod that pedal when I get on the clear stretches, I just don't want to bankrupt myself putting juice in it (and jeopardising the Rovers restoration into the bargain), man maths can, after all, only go so far .

CJRamze Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I do 60mph to work sometimes in the zed here's my average over 38 miles. 38mpg ish. Sent from my One using Tapatalk Quote
HAMLNJ Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 I love I only get 17 mpg makes a talking point. Otherwise I'd have my passat back again. Quote
Keyser Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Meh double figures - I got 6.5mpg on a day out round coomb - The average for the day - including the 70 miles up and back was 12mpg But boy was it a fun day out 1 Quote
Keyser Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 6.5 ...I doing so much wrong getting 17! You need a supercharger and NOS to get my sort of fuel consumption!! I have a bigger problem now - Which SC Zed should I take out tomorrow the 50 or the 70 - O the dilemma 1 Quote
HAMLNJ Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 Hahah! I watched you round castle this year. Love you have both and another many hiding. Keeping the silver? 1 Quote
Keyser Posted June 10, 2014 Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Nice choice to have Chris I do feel spoiled - but "The Bitch" is now retired from road use - she may make 1 more appearance on track before she is stripped down Edited June 10, 2014 by Keyser Quote
