90mpg Aygo, ... who else has acheived this magic number? Options

[adilmon]

I own a diesel aygo & it took me 2hrs to get home on Sunday, because I was driving like a milk float (avg 60mph, at 1900 rpm). The journey was from bournemouth to gatwick, which is about 95 miles. I calibrated the scangauge II and averaged 90.4 mpg!!!!! (That's 3.02litres/100km) I was very very pleasantly surprised. I've read on the net that the Aygo did this before, but I didn't believe it because I was suspicious that the car was somehow modified, in order to get the 90mpg for the good publicity.

The outward journey averaged 68.3 mpg (probably going faster than I should have been on the M27). It's not easy driving economically and takes just as much attention as driving normally. I also discovered that more fuel is used if you are coasting in neutral, rather than leaving it in gear.

Three cheers for diesel !

The only problem with any normal diesel is that they sound boring. I'd rather have 60mpg and stay awake whilst travelling
