I know the difference is huge enough to show the difference in style, but topping up the tank is the best way to calculate mpg - preferably tested multiple times to account for different fuel temp. I'm thinking of getting one of these as a project and sticking it on youtube to see ho much you can modify for fuel economy - boat tail would look mint!
Another top educational, infornative technical, automotive video as ever Sir Tim. I can squeeze about 52mpg out of my C1 Van conversion, if i drive like Miss Daisy 😁
No surprise that a lighter right foot makes for better fuel economy, but I must admit, I am surprised how much difference it made. Potentially more than 20 mpg. Nice vid dude.

Accelerate hard up to your desired speed then block change to the highest sensible gear and cruise. Don't lose too much speed in corners. You'll still get high 40s and have fun.
I hypermile my Aygo xD... Usually my tanks come in around 70mpg, my all time record for a tank was 78mpg though. I got a Nissan Micra 1.2L petrol for a courtesy car once, reset the MPG counter and it was at 65mpg when I handed it back. Love to know what I'd get in a diesel 🤣. My partner's 1.6L diesel Mégane gets 75mpg when I'm driving but my mum has a 1.2L diesel polo and I talked her through fuel saving techniques and the trip Mpg was at 100mpg when we got home, only issue with my mum's polo is that it has a DPF which would get clogged as f#*k if you drove economically
Our 2007 107 gets around 47 mpg average. Lower 40s in winter. I think I've only had less than 40 once. Best I got on a full tank was 68.8mpg. There are some on the c1oc forum that get mental figures, 70, 80 even 90 + mpg. Mental.

Cheers mate, it has to be the thing that makes more difference than anything else when it comes to MPGeees
Just goes to show the difference of a lead foot. Best of luck with the move and new job, I can't imagine how much stress that is
It explains why every car I’ve ever had doesn’t do anywhere near the quoted MPG figures 😂
Wow thats a big difference 🧐
I’m impressed I always floor it .
Going to give this one a go 😉
I’m usually a bit lead footed tbh, but you can be in these without breaking the speed limits. My mpg I usually about 35 round town.

For mpg the best adjustment is the nut behind the wheel.
Yes. Tighten the nut behind the wheel for increase MPG
@@StupidBlokeStupidVideoshow?
I get 50 mpg combined and i mixed sometimes i'm sending it and sometimes are quiet, around town i get between 38 to 42 mpg

last two bars are almost nothing. first 3 bars are +/- 500 km. If you fill it all the way i managed to get 36,5 litres in.
Yeah, we've had over 35 litres in a few times. The pipe getting to the tank must carry a bit.
I still got 49mpg after using a tank up rather enthusiastically in my Aygo. Over 60 if I'm boring.
That’s decent. I usually get about 35 in mine, all town driving and usually a bit of traffic here and there.
@Andre Ramos I think it’s mainly just cos I’m not an economical driver, but I used to get about 40 before the injectors went in so they haven’t helped.
Would taking laxatives every night help to eek out a few more mpg?
Affirmative.
Can you bang a roof rack and a top box on it and try your mpg drive again in both styles to see how it goes?
@@joebloggs3629 maybe, but that would only really work on motorway milage I think and I rarely go on them in this shitter.
It would be creating drag regardless of where your driving, same as under inflated tyres to correctly inflated tyres....
