That was an exception though, at one point I was doing 75mpg. At the end of shift I was down to 68mpg, so yes it is possible.

Eventually the 24k car will be worth 4k. Then 4k/60mpg !

Just done a check over the last few tax years and my MPGs are 2013/14 = 30.24 - Mondeo Petrol 2014/15 = 41.46 - Mondeo Diesel 2015/16 = 44.06 - Mondeo Diesel 2016/17 = 44.60 - Mondeo Diesel 2017/18 (About 6 months) = 46.57 - Mondeo Diesel 2017/18 (About 6 months) = 62.00 - Toyota Auris Hybrid 2018/19 = 66.39 - Toyota Auris Hybrid Best I've had from the hybrid over decent mileage is 72.6 over 130miles and 71.4 over a 150mile shift. Actual highest is 73.3 over 65miles. MPG takes a hit in the hybrid when you have to use the heating, lights and wipers over winter I was only doing between 58 and 62mpg. So I'll expect this years to fall once we hit the colder months again. I don't do many of the long out of towns but usually drop into mid 50s mpg on the motorway/faster roads. |

I do ! Depends on how well you look after them, bodywork, interior, mechanical condition. I look after mine so they last, other drivers turn them into sheds within 5 years. Last three ; Mondeo (secondhand) - 9 years 250k Mondeo (secondhand) - just under 10 years 280k Mondeo (secondhand) - 10 years 400k !! Would have kept it a bit longer but needed a new injector pump for £1200. Even so It wouldn't have lasted much longer. That's the age when I got rid, I actually owned each for between 4-7 years. I did have an Octavia as well that didn't even reach 6 years and 150k. Auris hybrid (new) - ??? but it's wearing better than any of the Mondeos so far. But I am toying with the idea of trading in at 5 years whilst the car still has value, but that means continuing to pay £200 p/m finance. Or wait the full 10 years and then be paying £400 p/m on a new one. |
