The F-Type Hypermiling Challenge!
Posted: Mon Jul 09, 2018 8:41 pm
Following on from the "real day to day MPG" thread viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2748
OK OK. Sacriledge I know.
But when self-righteous *****s hint of their virtue by crowing the mpg figures of their car, it would be fun to have a ready reply:
"Well the F-Type (your variant) can do up to (nn) mpg!"
Or "Well the F-Type can do up to (nn) mpg!" (I'm banking on a light-footed 4-pot owner to provide us with a spectacular figure for this)
RULES:
This is not a competition, but a challenge to see what is the best possible MPG we can get from F Types.
Entrants must have 10 plus forum posts.
Journies must be >10 miles.
No strong following winds.
Endpoint altitude must not be significantly below startpoint. Circular runs will ensure this.
If your car is modded (eg engine, pipes or bodywork) then please state this.
These rules may 'evolve' a bit.
If your entry is 'exceptional', please accompany it with some evidence, such as a screenshot of InControl app page of the journey, or a photo of your trip computer data.
My decision is final.
This is a bit of FUN. OK!?
HINTS & TIPS:
InControl Remote App will report mpg for journies between Ignition on and Ignition off.
The 'Auto' bank on the trip computer will show (after about a half a mile) a continuous running average mpg for the journey, so worth setting the centre screen to show this.
Start run with a properly warmed up engine.
Running with your tail up or your top down or in Dynamic and/or Sport, ain't going to help your mpg figure.
Stop/Start might actually help a little if you run into traffic.
Draughting behind the biggest, most unaerodynamic lorry you can find, on a long section of 40 or 50mph average speed controlled motorway could be a good strategy.
Your suggestions are invited.
Best so far:
--------------- MPG (Imp.)----MPG (US.)----L/100km ---Driver
SVR-----------35.5---------------29.6-------------7.9----- Gibbo. -------------------- Open to higher entries with evidence - eg photo of trip comp.
V8R-----------37.66--------------31.4-------------7.5---- Arne/ndabunka ------ Open to higher entries with evidence - eg photo of trip comp.
V8S------------39.6--------------33-----------------7.12---OB123. ---------------------Open to higher entries with evidence - eg photo of trip comp.
V6S/400-----45.2------------37.64---------------6.2-----01286p--------------------- Open to higher entries with evidence - eg photo of trip comp.
V6-------------43.7-------------36.36---------------6.47---Lunar---------------------- Open to higher entries with evidence - eg photo of trip comp.
2.0---------------------------------------------------------------Not Claimed--------------Open to 'your word for it' entries.
