I mostly get between 8-10l/100 km in mine, so yeah, it is normal.

 

Worst Ive had on a tank was 28Mpg, Average is 37MPG calculated over 4000 miles. Cant imagine that 18" would knock it down to 26. Something else me thinks

 

From my experience with my TCT, the consuption greatly varies depending on the road, speed and driving style... It seems I get the best figures driving on country roads with average speed of 70-80km/h. In those conditions I get about 6.8lt/100km. Driving on the highway with speeds about 140km/h, I get about 9.1lt/100km.

 

I guess you're right... Though most of my mileage was on the highway, I'm getting more than 8-8.5 lt/100km when I drive 120km/h and above, which is a bit disappointing! And yes, best figures for country roads that I rarely drive!

 

You should also check the "actual" or "trip" l/km as the overall/average figures might be the total since new which can be grossly misleading.

 

This is exactly why i did´t bother with an MA 170 hp.
I have better figures in my QV than some of you guys have in your MA´s
You should check your figures by measuring brim to brim, the cars figures variates to much to be precise.

 

Well the real figures are much better than a QV, so you are just kidding yourself.

Anyway, who gives a rubber duck about the mpg or l/km, if you are going to buy an Alfa, fuel consumption is the last thing on your mind. If that is what you really care about, buy something like a Prius.

 

1.4 tct mpg

Hi I have had my Giulietta 1.4 TCT a couple of months, second hand, with low milage. I have have had 45 mpg on leisurely cross country trips, generally including some town work it seems 40-mpg. I rarely use D mostly N. I have noticed that at around 50mph is about when 6th gear kicks in. When I am in a 50 limit just under that speed I nudge the stick in to 6th when I'm not trying to press on.

 

I've done 6,750 miles in my 1.4 MA TCT which has 17" wheels. I always have a/c on and drive mostly in N. Average fuel economy over the last 1500 miles is 33 mpg. Most of my mileage is cross-country and short local trips. My guess is optimum mpg is achievable at a steady 55-60 mph and worst on short local trips.

I was annoyed by the shortfall in mpg from the published figures until I learned that this is widespread across makes and models. The real problem is the EU test specification used to measure mpg by manufacturers. This is not even remotely representative of real-life driving. For more, see Honest John - here's a link about the Ford Focus 1.0 Ecoboost: Ford falls short of economy claims - Telegraph and another to Honest John's Real Mpg database: Real MPGs | Honest John.

 

Same here. Although I'm pretty sure my right foot has some influence.

I get between 9.5l/100km - 11.5l/100km. Drive mostly in D and don't like being last at the traffic light.

On my last long trip to Spain I got a best of about 8.5l/100km...

I'm gonna see if the chiptuning did anything soon!

 

Despite the newer diesel technology, my sub 5000km 2.0L JTDm G is running around the same 5.8L/100km on a long country run as my old 2006 VW Golf 2.0 TDI. In the city, its average seemed to be higher than my old Golf. A bit disappointed but wondered whether the 18" 40 profile tyres have something to do with it too. Those Italian-Euro consumption data seemed to be more liberal than the German-Euro data.

 

I have only had my TCT a few hours but already clocked up quite a few miles and averaged 41mpg, pretty happy with that so far. Most of it was motorway/A roads in N mode. Tested out D a few times. So far though Im pretty impressed I would be disappointed with 25MPG too. I understand if you wanted the best MPG figures the 1.6D would have been the better choice but when buying a new car but the reason I chose the 1.4MA was that I was bored of the diesel noise of my Bravo. The 1.4MA is much more refined and knew I would take a slight hit economy wise but I would be fuming if getting 26MPG with the figures Alfa claim.

 

Manufacturer's MPG data is just a lie, they all are, my 170HP is now staying at 10.2L/100km.

 

Averaging 9.0 in short trip city traffic

My TCT is just over 3,000 km old. My dealer admitted to me that I should not expect great economy (as advertised) in city traffic. I mostly drive the car to/from work (10 km) in a lot of stop/start traffic in N and I am only getting 9.0 l/100km

 

Question I have on Start&Stop is, what's the equivalence in idle fuel usage to the extra fuel used in restarting the engine? In other words, what's the shortest traffic stop that makes Start&Stop's engine stop worthwhile?

 

I am disappointed if I'm not achieving better than 7ltr/100km off the trip computer on each tank, around Sydney. Manual MA with 30,000km on board.

 

on my qv it is 10,8 l/100 km which is not bad for 235 hp benzina

just for illustration for the mpg complainers: my colleague with 1.2 tsi petrol skoda roomster averaging 10 l/100 km at the moment

 

Wheel size can make quite a difference to fuel economy . With 16" wheels I am able to exceed 40mpg but 18" wheels are getting me 37 mpg.

 

Hi my Giulietta MA TCT automatic was averaging 8-9.5L/100km in regional city driving here in Australia (50-60km/hr). On highway driving averaging between 7.5-8L/100 km at max speed of 100km/hr and on cruise control. I'm still breaking in my car . it's got 650km:
