Hi guys, thought I'd like to share with you the MPG from my last trip to Wales last week! A staggering 60MPG!! I hear you say this cant be possible!! Check out the attachment to justify my claim.

how many miles did u do t a full tank?? i managed to dojust over 400 miles to a full tank and i was v.v.v.v. careful, was you doing 50mph along the motorway??

full tank of super unleaded 97ron cost me £45.00 and got me around 380miles.

I was doin around 60 on the mway, 50ish on the dual carriage ways 40 normal roads not speeding AT ALL. When I got to the top of snowdonia I took it out of gear going down the side of the mountain for off and on 10miles!! Well cool yeh!! I think so.

Your fuel consumption
( 44.1MPG) (15.6 Km per litre)(6.39 litre per 100Km)
Averaging pence per mile
(40+ mpg for petrol is good under 23 is bad)

thats what i just worked out for you lol

Either your mpg reading is incorrect or you were driving downhill with the engine off!! You can get 45mpg out of the ST at a real push but not 60, the engine simply cannot do it. BTW, you should have got way over 380 miles if the reading was true.

My reading is correct. As my average MPG around town is about 32mpg. I was going down hill with it out of gear for a considerable amount of time. Like I said, it could have been for easily 6-10miles off and on, as before I started to come down the mountain my MPG was around 45-48 as I was driving very steadily paced!

bloody hell i am well caredul and cant get mine over the 27mpg

Because I do alot of stop starting town driving stuck in traffic driving (if that makes sense) I tend to reset my MPG counter at the start of the day to give me a better reading and it tends on a really bad day to be around 26-28MPG on a good day about 33MPG but on a 20 mile run around 38-42MPG.

Wish i was getting 60 mpg lol, mine is currently at 26.5

Beat me to this one. Not to say I have done 60mpg (cos it's simply not possible, you'd struggle to do that in a 1.4 diesel) but, After filling the car to it's 9.9 gallon capacity and driving at the speed limits (running the car in period) I averaged 33.7mpg. That had the occasional 4-5k revving but not any thrashing.
As mentioned a while back by Dave ST (now TDi) if you get 30mpg you're lucky.
He's spot on with that cos i've no doubt that the ST, if driven a little sprightly, will never do 30mpg, period.
Oh, by the way, I STILL love my

60mpg would never be possible on a day to day drive.

Like has been said it isn't possible to do 60mpg. That's like 600 miles out of the STs tank!!You'd have had to have rolled the entire way down hill not just for 6 to 10 miles!!

If you're still sure you got 60mpg you may want to check it has the correct engine in it!!

Even I struggle to get 60MPG, your readings out.

I'm doing about 50MPG and I get 430 miles to a tank.

The reading on your computer is out because you were coasting.

The best i managed to get this week is 33.7 MPG, And that was taken it easy..
