New jimny owner West Midlands

Hi all,

I have checked my speedo and it is 1mph different to my sat nav reading, since changing to alloys and with a k&n filter and some extra weight in bits I am getting 53 miles a day and fill up every 6 days so getting 318 out of it, my journeys are dual carriageways at 50-60mph with 205 tyres. It must be the way I drive or I must have got a good one!

May be you got a diesel one?

318 is more believable as I have a 2013 though I only use a 3/4 of a tank and get 450KM.
As Halford said, sadly not 360miles on a standard Jimny no matter how you drive it.

45mpg? You must be doing the last 53 mile trip with the fuel light on!

I made a school boy error and assumed the tyre pressures were fine in my new jim as the tyres had been replaced recently. so after experimenting with mpg calculators I thought I'd check them. The front driver side was 14psi! The other 3 were between 18-20.
When the temperature drops the pressure would have reduced too effecting mpg.
I pumped them up to manufacturer recommended level of front 23 and rear 26 and I have now managed to get 40.70mpg (315 miles on one fill)
I reckon I can beat this as filled up before light came on. So Im thinking it might be possible to get a standard jimny getting these unusually high figures.

I'm getting mpg obsessed now I need to calm down.

I roughly get 200-220 on a full tank to the red, standard with 205 road tyres lots of very short trips too, its a 2000 g13b. Is there much difference in mpg between g13b and m13a engines
