derek pringle Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hi, Just wondered if anybody could tell me what mpg I can reasonably expect from a 3ltr auto Fiat Bessacarr e630. Thanks derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROON Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Not good on the technical stuff, Derek, but I would imagine that it varies considerably journey to journey depending on how heavy your load is. I have noticed that just driving with only half a tank of deisel and an empty water tank and no packed driveaway awning in the van makes a heck of a difference on mpg with my own van. Maybe someone smarter will come along and be able to give you figures. Joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itexuk Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I would have thought on average 24 / 25 to a gallon. It all depends on how you drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinou Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 I agree with Peter that 24/25 mpg is a good average - we have the same engine on our Dakota. The only time we now dip below that is when towing our Smart car (on an A frame!) >:-) Or sometimes after after a trip to the French / Italian supermarkets.... *-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rapido-lass Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 Hi Derek, We have a 3ltr Fiat Rapido, so there will be a difference as ours is manuel as well. We average about 29mpg. The motorhome is always on standby and only needs to have water and food added, so any small journeys out for the day, goes almost fully loaded. Mpg has alot also to do with the way you drive. On a visit to Norway where we were on a time restriction so we couldn't amble along, we were getting the same 29mpg and that was with fully loaded tanks etc, but as not alot of traffic we were able to cruise at a faster speed.

RonB Posted August 27, 2009 Share Posted August 27, 2009 We are averaging around 22mpg (65-70 cruising) with the same engine and gearbox in our Frankia 740 coachbuilt. Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
