Anyone got experience of the realistic mpg for the 190 in the UK?

 

Good question and one that I'd like the answer to as well. I've just got one 2 weeks ago so I can give you what I'm getting so far.

I seem to be consistently getting 24-26mpg on virtually all motorway driving. However, I do tend to cruise at about 98mph so I suspect I'm not getting optimal mpg! I've already done ~1500miles and I do think that it might have gone up a couple of mpg already.

I would be interested to know if the 2nd set of injectors also kick in @3750rpm for this engine. If so then I reckon you need to cruise at less than 83mph to reduce fuel consumption.

 

weird, I'm not Jenn102888 - seem to have assumed somebody else's identity! (i.e. I'm not a girl and I'm not based in Maryland!)

 

You may be interested to know that I have a friend with a 230 in the UK who reckons that he's getting ~25mpg mixed and ~34mpg motorway!

If that's the case I wonder what the best a 190 can do is!

 

The 230 is not capable of 34mpg. The published figures state 31 extra-urban mpg, which is only obtainable if you stick at exactly 55mph with a trailing wind and don't encounter any hills (or bends).

Realistic figures for the 230 are 20 urban, 26 extra-urban, and 23 combined. That's what I get with 14k on the clock.
The 190 should be a couple of mpg better than this.
