How many miles does your vehicle get to the gallon? 13:47 - Jul 5 with 3556 viewsIllinoisblue

Saw on fb the other day, a U.S. bloke on holiday in England who rented a 2021 Vauxhall Corsa (diesel) and was getting an average mileage of over 62 miles to the gallon? That seems amazing but I admit I know nothing about diesel and how it compares to petrol for efficiency.

Wondering generally how efficient UK cars. I have a small Chevy SUV which gets about 25 miles to the gallon for motorway driving. A friend with a big Ford truck gets about 12 miles to the gallon for his mostly driving around town.


62 - 78 - 81

8,000 niles ? Are you sure you haven't got your car mixed up with your boat?

One imperial gallon is equivalent to approximately 1.2 U.S. liquid gallons. Good point, well made anyway.

8,000 Niles = 32.8million miles, which is about 20% of the way to the Sun. Pretty high mileage if you ask me.

The misses’ 3 year old Toyota Yaris (great car) does 55+ mixed driving.

My equally boring Honda Civic (not one hint of a problem in 8+ years), 1.8 turbocharged jobbie - it’s not an R Type butt clencher, but swift enough will do 40 with my rubbish driving and 45 in poverty economy mode.

Happy with that.

Hyundai Ionic self charging hybrid petrol.

At the 1981 Marlboro Clubmans Championship at Silverstone, I put 3 gallons into my TZ350 for an 8 lap race on the old 2.97 mile circuit (plus one warm-up lap). It ran out shorty after crossing the finish. So about 9 mpg.

I guess you were keeping to the optimum 56 mph for fuel efficiency ?

Is that all? I had similar efficiency from a Toyota pious, which was made nearly 20 years ago. Hopefully your Ioniq gets better performance in other areas.

We switched to a diesel powered 4x4 suv after being stranded in the snow. We’ve not seen similar extreme weather, nor have we been far off the beaten track, but I get 45mpg average with 55-60mpg easily achievable in the right conditions. Love my Yeti.
