So come on, own up! What kind of MPG is everyone getting? The reason I ask is I have a Scangauge II and it's telling me I'm getting an average of 13-14mpg
I am running big rubber and a heavy right foot, but even so!!!! She runs sweet and I'd be surprised if anything is wrong, but what do you think?

i get an average of 9 round london, and 15 on the motorway lol
Country laning is probably around 13 too. Does seam VERY inefficient !!!!
oh, are you UK gallons or Yanky ??? Just that there was a slip of paper to calibrate the scan guage for UK gallons when i got it and i never read it

13 in the city is what I get. I'll take any suggestions to improve that! IIRC these things were rated at 15mpg city when they were new. 10 years later I guess that number could drop a little.

well if i ever have to sell it im taking the guage out and claiming 30mpg, lol

I get about 16-17 in mixed city and highway driving, that's about 330 miles on a tankful. Keep in mind I have only recently managed to get my CEL turned off (it's been on for a couple of years!) so I am hopeful that my mileage might go up a notch.
I know you believe you understand what you think I said; but what you fail to realize is that what you heard is not what I meant.

Just filled up this morning. Taking an 11% odo error into account for tire size, I averaged 12mpg on my last tank, all in town driving.
I usually average 15-17 on the open road.

9999, according to my ScanGauge.
Been sitting in my garage for a few weeks and only gets started on weekends to knock the cobwebs out. She is going through some "reconstruction", of sorts atm.
Typically, about 10-12mpg. My weekend spirited toy.

You have to expect some downside for driving one of the coolest vehicles ever made

I hit 19 city & 23 highway.
I drives like my grandma & the fact that i use premium (93) probably helps.
Dakar was just the begining.

15.5 running 32's and a lift...this is not counting the 10% difference so really about 17 overall.

Not for about the last six months...I peaked at about 2.5-3 extra non adjusted miles per gallon and it has been mildly slipping since. I just picked up another quart to start again. I wanted to wait a while and see things slip and just give it a break to check everything out. All good so far.

i think in this instance we can rule out the imperial gallon factor as i know i havent set mine up for it, and doesnt sound like Nick has either
Super VXer
48? No, that's the Yaris...
15 to 19 imperial seems about right. That's way more than I used to get before I sorted out some of the dpo's wiring and lack of servicing. Mine pushes to the higher end of that when green laning as its mostly idling and trundling along.
Tyres make a BIG difference and so does having any stuff hanging off the car (like my roof tray).

I got a whopping great 17mpg average over 50-odd miles acting as support vehicle for Bob the Beetle today.
Remember that's with chunky Coopers with roof tray and Wipacs acting as air brakes.
