215 mpg reset question

[bembo449]

Can any of our 215 owners advise what sort of MPG they got when resetting the fuel economy computer, trying to gauge how my 215 is doing after recent repairs

What type of driving?

It can be incredibly variable depending on driving profile.

For example I can upwards of 33mpg out of the 230 if driving like miss Daisy at 60mph on a motorway (in these endless roadworks), 28 on a 600 mile drive to France, 15 round town and average if general usage is about 21.
All a bit meaningless to compare as it depends on so many variables (and a 215 and 230 should be broadly similar).

Average over 2449 miles is 20.7mpg.

After my EGR repair id did a 13 mile drive of A / B road at 60 mph , when i stopped it was 19.7mpg and climbing , my 215 has always been respectable on fuel for what it is , this is the only real fault thats effected the way it performs so new territory

Dependent on the type of driving and length of trip, the mpg-o-meter could read anything between 19-22 and 28-31mpg.

But getting up to 19mpg or more is a good sign then pal

I seem to recall that over 10k miles mine would average around 24mpg mixed driving. Long motorway journeys (more than 40 miles) would see occasional 31mpg, town driving around 16mpg. Generally I expected to get a minimum 400 miles to a tank of fuel for motorway travel, down to 230 for mostly town journeys, anything more than that was a bonus.
