TOPIC:

Had a few reasonable length runs recently and some fuel figures plus a few conclusions. This is largely just backing up what I've found over the past 20 months.

145 mile journey. 1st 80 miles on motorway at a cruise controlled 63mph gave 75.1mpg. Remainder of journey gave an overall figure of 72.5, this was mainly good dual carriageway with only 10 miles on minor lanes.

Return journey was the same route but with a hell of a lot of traffic, travelled 8 miles in 1,5 hrs at 1 point on the M1. Return figure, (journey back), overall was 69mpg and a lot of this was just rolling in 2nd gear.

These are by far the best figures I've seen over a distance and put it down to several things. Condition were dead calm, no wind either way, the Kadjar suffers heavily in a headwind as it also does above 70mph. 
cruise control and ECO function don't mix, you can easily beat your own figures by feeding the throttle in yourself. However turn ECO off and it's much closer.

Car has done 10k miles

Accidentally put this in the wrong section admin, if it can be moved to general...............

I am not so lucky, i toodle more around town nowadays, at the moment with air con on full i am getting 42.6 mpg over this tank full.

its getting down to two bars on the gauge so in the next few weeks it will be a trip to petrol station.

Filling up with the Devils Fuel is the one job i hate, plastic gloves at standby. whatever happened to the man who came and filled you up, I do so miss them 

we should demand them bring them back 

Same there. My current value is 5.8 l/100km. It's about 40.55 mpg

You must both have lead feet, 

how can you have lead feet around town its all start stop trafic i get excited to get up to 30mph 

in my area its very hilly in fact there are more hills going up than coming down it seems, guiness book records on standby

You must have, my daily journeys are a 4 mile round trip to Tesco's, 3 miles and back to No1 daughters and a quick run around town every now and then, all short journeys at the wrong time of day. I left the av fuel consumption clicking on for 1k miles before this check, 53 ish mpg and no runs of even 20 miles.

The thing about hills is that unless you never return home, the average equates to level.
