Best Fuel Consumption out of a 190

Greeners · 18th January 2015, 21:57

Been plenty of threads for diesels, so what's the best you've managed from a 190, saloon or tourer ?

Best I've had in my saloon is just over 30mpg on a long mway run of 400 miles. Normally average around 23mpg though.

About 32 mpg on a long run.

Usually aroun 27 but have recorded up to 33 on a long motorway trip. Both were brim to brim

You can achieve 36mpg on a motorway run with brim tests.

Would have to agree!

However, if you're bothered about fuel consumption, why buy a 190 in the 1st place??

I got 37 mpg on a motorway run down to Torquay at 75 to 80 mph all the way. Cruise on etc, its better than the 19 mpg around town I usually got but when I fitted Iridium spark plugs it went up to 21.5 mpg thanks to Mr Doodles suggestion.

34mpg so far, on a long Motorway run.

Don't even want to know what I average on my normal day to day runs!

34MPG when I drove my ZT-T back from Glasgow to Preston but that's because I was doing just under 60mph all the way as the weather was horrendous, the M74 was like a river and the bonnet kept popping open too so keeping it under 60 stopped that mostly!
