Re: Car questions

Hello again, it is I the bearer of annoying car questions, I seek all ye sages of the cars wisdom

Translation: Its me, the annoying one. I have a question

Im trying to work out my cars fuel efficiency and was wondering if anybody knows of any sites that list cars standard fuel efficiency?
I know this is variable based on speed and even the aggressiveness of the driver on the accelerator, and it may not even reflect my vehicles actual MPG but I am curious anyway. Basicly the reason for this is I am going on a trip in about 2 days and im on a bit of a tight budget so Im trying to find out what the bare minimum amount of petrol I should put in for my journey and then I am going to add another £5 ontop.

I have worked out my cars current efficiency to be approx 25MPG~ Does this sound bad? have I even worked it out correctly? I used 4.53 : 1 (Litres : Gallons) is that right?

Again just FYI this is a 93 Crosa B 1.2, I believe this MPG is about average but what do I know

I would like the link anyway even if this is correct (If such a site even exists) as I think it would be handy for future refference.

Again thanks in advance people.


EDIT: Just thought I would add that after wiping off the 'Mayo' from the underside of my oil filler cap it hasnt built up again. I wiped it off and I continued doing my short journeys as normal for about a week. I checked it before I did my longish drive the other day and nothing had built up, and I Checked it again when I got back, nothin. I take it thats a good sign then?
