The short answer is to fill up your tank and then press the stalk you were talking about to arrive at the primary screen. There will also be a trip 1 and trip 2 screen to monitor various trips but the primary screen will show you how many miles are available in your tank subject of course to the conditions of your driving.

As with any internal combustion engine the more you drive means the more fuel you consume thus the fuel gauge will indicate the amount of fuel left. Additionally the primary screen mentioned above will show the current miles left you are able to drive.

 

Driving between 30 and 70 mph, I am averaging 44mpg. I have just gone over 2500miles and today and yesterday, I averaged 46-47 mpg on the same journey. Not too bad for a petrol auto 1.2 6 EAT. I seem to be doing better with my 3008 than my old VW polo.

 

Thank you for clarification. I would love to hear how many miles on average you get to a full tank.:thumb:

 

I just checked my app and I am currently averaging 56.4 mpg since I have had it.

As Nate stated your mileage will vary depending on location and style of driving.

I live in a rural area with mostly 30-70 kmh speed limits like you. I try to drive religiously with the cruise control that helps greatly. this time of the year you don't need the AC so keep that off which will help tremendously. the next thing I do is pay great attention to the middle value of that current information screen which shows your current consumption, try to keep that as high as possible, I make a game out of it. Try coasting onto stops from far out as possible, this will save your brakes also. Keeping off the pedal on downhill grades will also help greatly. All this drives my wife nuts and its fun.

I don't pay too much attention the the number on the left, the one that tells you how far you can travel on the remaining fuel in the tank because you will see that between full and 3/4 that it will move around quite a lot both up and down and back up. I find that it starts to be stable after about 3/4 or even into about half a tank left.

 

type of driving counts also 100% city driving or 50/50 or all highway / dual carriageways / motorways.

you need to make that clear also, Granted im on a 6 speed manual box but a 1.2 none the less and you can check my fuelly at the bottom it holds my 95% city driving fuellings

 

driving on dual carriage ways...and some urban. roughly 30 mile to 70 mile limits

 

DSB3008 if you are interested in fuel consumption (as you seem to be) then why did you buy a tall powerful petrol car with an automatic gearbox in the first place?

My manual 308 hatchback 1.6 BlueHDI DIESEL regularly averages 69mpg+ and does 700+ miles per tank of fuel Also, it can do 0-60 in less than 10 secs, so what's not to like?

It emits only 84mg/km of CO2 (major greenhouse gas) and no more Nitrous oxide gases than most modern petrol cars with 120bhp engines

So why do we all tow the line in thinking we need an SUV & Diesels must be bad?
+How many miles do you intend doing per year?

 

Autos are no less efficient nowadays.
Petrol to diesel obviously are.

For the OP 38 to 40mpg seems the norm. On a 1.2 on a car this size it seems reasonable.

I the quoted figures are nonsense, for all manufacturers some manage to exaggerate more than others.

My current car a MINI (5 door) although more powerful/faster and similar curb weight ( probably more ) returns 35 mpg and this is driven quite hard.

The 1.2 is essentially a little underpowered.

Things will improve by a few mpg with 15K plus miles on it

 

I bought this car because the specifications state that the car does 54mpg which I think is fine. At the moment, Im getting about 38mpg and that is not urban driving which is a far cry from 54mpg.
Unfortunately you do not get to test drive a car for a week so you go by what reviews you read by the manufacturer

 

You are never going to see 54mpg, not unless it's motorway driving at 56mph down hill.:lol:

 

Thanks for the replies. Managed to get over 400 miles in my first tank.
Started using the cruise control and averaging about 42-44mpg so think ill get about 460 miles in my 2nd tank. Loving the car...

 

My best was 355 miles and filled up with 10.02 gallons (45.5 ltrs) giving me 35.42 mpg.
Total mileage to last tank fill is 2324 and had an average of 31.70 mpg.
Best mpg was 38.92 which was mainly motorway driving on a 250 mile round trip.

These are actual calculated figures.
Most of my mileage is from 20 mile round trips commuting to work, mainly along country roads.

2018 3008 GT Line 1.6 EAT6

 

These figure aren't going to make happy reading for the member who though he might get near 54mpg.

My apologies (this is an edit) I didn't realise that it's the same person, but 42 to 44 mpg is pretty good!

There really should be something done regarding the figures manufacturers provide, even though most know them to be widely inaccurate.
Although Honda seem to think the figures they provide are nearer real world values than others, according to a salesmen?

 

Since owning my 3008 (1.6l Petrol auto) I have averaged 7.2l/100km (39.2 BMPG) over the life of the car. I've never reset trip meter no.2 and this is what it shows. I always reset trip meter no.1 when I fill up and it is generally also reading 7.2l/100km.

I do an equal mix of freeway and urban driving on my daily commute (40km round trip). Car was purchased in March this year.

Interestingly my old 2l petrol (manual) 307 got pretty much the same figures, but my wife's Hyundai i30 (petrol auto) can't get anywhere near this.

Given that the 3008 is larger and heavier than the 307, and also has a smaller motor and is auto, I guess that 15yrs of technological advancement has afforded me some additional comfort and convenience, but not much for the environment.

 

Mine has done just over 2000 miles now and it's averaging around 42 mpg. I have had up to 49 mpg on long motorway trips with cruise control set at 66 mph. I think that's quite good for a 1.6 petrol auto.

 

Hi, I am averaging 51.3. Quite happy with that..About the same as my last car. RCZ 2.0 Hdi..
