Do you think 40 mpg is decent fiigure for a modern car ?

That doesn't sound too bad to me in all honestly. Even the newest BMW's are looking at around 60mpg on the motorway so I don't think you're doing badly. Sorting out your MAF will definitely help though - go get it done!

We know, mate. You make a new thread about it almost daily

you might know but not everybody does

I have a 2006 mk2 focus 1.8 TDCI

I need to get maf wiring loom fixed, and check a few other things over which should hopefully improve the mpg for my car.

mpg figures for my car

urban - 39.2
extra urban - 64.2
combined - 52.1


Noticed a lot lately, I only seem to be getting 38- 40 mpg though most of it is urban I also do a few short motorway trips, and yet It seems to be achieiving the urban only figures or slightly less even if I drive some combined trips. I'd say I'm often getting 38.2 mpg lately but call it 40 mpg.

When I get MAF sorted it will improve a lot I hope.


Anyway my question is, is 40 mpg with the majority of it urban driving, is it around average, good or bad /


thanks

I'd kill for 40 mpg! I get about 25

you tell him !!
keep up the good work !

what car do you drive and I bet it is a petrol ??

My previous petrol car was a w reg astra and only getting around 25- 30 mpg so I am hoping to see 50 mpg on my current car ,especially after a few issues are sorted with it such as MAF wiring loom repaired as it's damaged atm and that will not be helping it's economy until it is fixed.

My BMW gets 50-60mpg 11 plate. But ive also heard getting engine remapped can also help the car be more economical?

thanks

1 + rep for you, a green one

Your sarcasm detector is broken, lad

All depends on size of engine and weight of car but if u have a 2ltr engine injection 40 mpg is considered good. I have a 20i vtec honda accord auto 20 yrs old 100'000 miles and I roughly get around 30 mpg
