Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just got back from around trip 2 Birmingham 320 miles 90% motorway at about 80 mph when clear enough, both ways in rush hour and some jams(M1 & M25). Trip indicates 33.1 mpg!! even after 18 months of ownership this car never fails to impress me.

POST 3Original post

Long runs in a 3.4 C4 Cab give me 28-30 mpg at 80 ish. Short journeys give me 23 ish. Both impress me considering it's a baby supercar. 14 mpg sounds like there may be a problem unless you're benefitting from 0-60 in not very much![ ]

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not really worried, as already got 320 miles out of this tank (normal only manage 280/300) and still the needle is half way between 1/4 and E. So if I can resit canning it for this 1 and only tank's worth of juice, I'll see how far I can get from it. (sad I know! but mildly interesting) But obviously nowhere near as impressive as 14mpg that sounds far more FUN And jams were not too bad considering

POST 6Original post

I can just never resist the acceleration buzz...

POST 8Original post

Just as an experiment I drove 70 miles to work the other day at 55 to 60mph with aircon off and acheived 38mpg from my C4S. I don't normally drive it like that by the way!

POST 9Original post

I didnt notice my MPG when the speedo showed 170 the other day.... Not bad from a 100,000 mile 3.4 tiptronic!

POST 10Original post

You're right about the tyres. Still I enjoy it and thats the main thing.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post
