jimny heavy on petrol

I have a 2011 jimny automatic and am getting 24 mpg is this normal I do mainly short runs at normal to low speeds

Is the car standard?

My 2000 model does 200miles to £40. Iv always thought it was heavy for a 1.3 engine! :S

when you say short runs, how short?
If you are obnly talking about 5-10 minutes then that sounds about right. Jimnys aren't the most economical things about and short runs are always going to be worse...

My standard manual 04 averages 30-32mpg
Does 230-240 miles on £45

Work is a 20mile round trip.

ours did 230 mile on sat n used 3/4 of a tank.thought that was qwite good for a 8 year old car with 135000 on it.

My 2007 model does 200 miles per tank - 27/28 mpg on mainly 5 to 10 min urban runs

My 2001 auto only does 23/24 to the gallon with runs of around 10 miles at a time. Marginally more on a longer run if I keep the speed down. Not good with the current price of petrol.

Its a 40 mile round trip for me to the Lakes and back which i do most sundays, if i go the motorway i can say buy buy to my petrol but if i go the minor roads it keeps going forever!!

Mines got rocklobster with 29" tyres and make about 34mpg with combined driving...

oh mines manual so think that makes a difference

erm.. bugger, I get 140 miles to the tank..... not a clue what that is to the gallon, Mavericks is the same spec but later engine and he gets about the same.

if i go laning anywhere it costs me a tank and a half at least...

6:1 lobster, 32" tyres, lockright, etc, probably doesnt help does it.

Just been from Warton, Preston up through Blackpool to Fleetwood, managed to do about 12mpg Kept a 5ltr petrol can in the boot as I put 5ltr in from totaly empty, then had to use my reserve can for the return.
Tried not to fill up the tank as I am having a'lot of welding done to both my front and rear axles on Saturday, and my friendly local welder wants my tank dry and I will need to drain my diffs again.

Cage, Special tracs, 4.16 rocklobster, Rear locker don't help.
