Just getting 50mpg in the 150 sport multijet. I'm thinking 36,000 miles is a long way between air filter changes.
How's everyone else's mpg at this time of year?

General How's your MPG?
50 mpg is excellent. Nothing to worry about at all. I work nights and so my lights are on all the time for about four months. I do a lot of short trips too and so I am happy with about 40 mpg in these circumstances. Colleagues drive small Renaults and Peugeots, an a VW Fox, oh, and a Renault Megane Scenic thing. The Megane is a very fine, comfortable car; the little French cars, however, have lost all their Frenchness and are cramped and hard riding. The Fox is easy to get into and no worse to ride in than the small French cars, but it is noisy. The little French cars are not a patch on their Renault 4 and Peugeot ancestors for comfort and quietness. All cars have become safer, but also less comfortable - no doubt about that. My Doblo is the most comfy of the lot, and the most practical - possibly excepting the Scenic.
Sorry to waffle. Your mpg is very good

Trip computer says 28 over the last 186miles, but I don't think thats right.
I put 50 litres in and 186 miles has got me dead on half a tank left, so £45 for 372 miles is pretty good considering I'm not driving very economically. My 1.2 mk2 Punto did 400 miles to £40 so not really a massive step down for me.
It's a 150Tjet btw.

I'm getting about 32mpg on my 150 T-Jet Sport, but a fair amount of that is dual carriageway driving.
Round about what I was getting on my wee 1.2 Punto Sporting anyway because I raced it everywhere so cant really complain!

And now you don't race your T-Jet?
Not really, I do try and take it easy.
But the Sport button is addictive coming off of roundabouts...and I do occasionally get a heavy right foot, but not as much as i did in my Punto!

our M-Jet 150 sport is only doing averaging 42mpg for this week, the wife uses it to and from work with about 45 miles of m/way driving and another 20 urban per day
I would have thought about 50's would have been more like it with all the m/way driving.

65-68mpg is 50mpg speed. Pushing to 70+ brings it down to 46mpg. Your bravo wasn't in Boro at lunchtime was it?
My mpg on the car comp over 2000 miles or so is 47.2 dunno hwo much would be m/way and town but i would hazzard a guess at 60% town and 40% m/way or long journeys. I know it will be out saying as I have it remapped and 18in wheels on but i still recon it would be in the 42-45 region

Ive got a Tjet Sport 150 and 95% of my driving is round town and on single carriage A roads and i get around 32 mpg.
1.4 16v star-jet so 90HP has 35mpg but the factory said it is 40mpg on motorways/ outside town. i read a test and thay also stated that Fiat lied about the consumption (who doesn't).
for me even 35 mpg is a disaster for 1.4 16v engine. big from Fiat, if you ask me. our punto mk2 1.4 8v has the consumption like 40mpg. of course punto is a lot lighter, bravo has 1300kg.

My computer says 31mpg at the moment unfortunately most of my driving is short journeys. Considering capacity is about 1/3 of my previous car the fuel economy doesn't seem that great.....
I have a t-jet sport 150. the trip computer saying 30.7mpg however I have just filled up with 57 litres of petrol after running it down from a full tank. I have done 440 miles approx which works out about 35mpg. I have checked this and double checked it and the car must be wrong
this is no motorway/dual carrageway miles

Nah mate, wife had it at work that day dont ever drive through the boro unless shes shopping
humm now i did not know this, i have just been reading a very interesting book about how the engine works and i read something about why mpg goes down at this time of the year. It says when the air gets colder the car fuel gets more dense, and that you should only need to push the pedle down half of what you would through summer. So if your like many people with heavy foots you will more then likely find your MPG will go down by as much as 10MPG in the winter and that if you do use your car allow it to warm up for 5 minutes before using it as the car will use less fuel once warm. I KNOW WE ALL KNOW THIS BUT I THOUGHT I WOULD SHARE MY FINDINGS. In my 1.4 bravo i was getting 37 mpg summer time but now im getting 31mpg most of it is city driving but i did decided to go clean the car engine by giving it a good run on the motorway and got my MPG up to 46 so im pritty happy.

How much fuel does it use in the 5 mins of warming up while it's stood still compared to the reduction in MPG while driving cold?
i could be wrong but im sure it's better to NOT let a car warm up, ie just start and drive as the engine gets warmer quicker....
No, you're not wrong. Start up and drive off, but steady keeping revs sensible until engine is to correct operating temperature then give it some

This doesnt clean your engine out, your mpg increased as you were driving at a steady speed in high gears (optimum driving) which increased your engines efficency and you didnt waste energy by braking like in the town/city.
PS fuel becomes more dense as does the air (cold air denser than hot) so more fuel and air is supplied in the same volume than normal (ie a cylinder full) - which means we can go faster
