wayno Posted February 9, 2002 Posted February 9, 2002 ive recently bought a westie 1600 cvh 1997 s.e.w what average milage should i be getting. its a standard engine with twin 40,s cheers wayno Quote
DavidR Posted February 9, 2002 Posted February 9, 2002 It depends on how you drive it. I reckon on 150 miles to a tank fillup, approx 30 mpg. But that is fairly sedate driving around urban areas and country lanes. I haven't noticed much reduction when pressing on on sunny afternoons. My CVH is an 1800 with a tuned engine so ought to be less frugal than yours. Quote
wayno Posted February 9, 2002 Author Posted February 9, 2002 cheers matey that sounds about right, i thought i had a fuel leak somewhere, but i have been giving it some throttle. yours wayno!!! Quote
Noel Johnson Posted February 10, 2002 Posted February 10, 2002 I get about 250 miles out of a tank out of my CVH on a good run which is bog standard with twin 40s. But it was rolling roaded 2 years ago which improved the fuel economy no end. It is mainly used for reletively long tours around the peak district and wales. Quote
7 Heaven Posted February 10, 2002 Posted February 10, 2002 Wayno, You must have a diesel then My oily old X Flow is a 20mpg at best. Mid teens if it is used as they should be and possibly 23mpg on a run. Anyway consider fuel economy in a Westie, got my 6sp Bora diesel for that John Quote
