[tjay]

Well went and did it, instead of like most folk down sizing we have went bigger !! Problems with my hip meant I wanted an Auto !!
so was down south at the weekend . saw a vert clean and tidy Kontiki 649 low line 3 litre auto with 180 bhp. Umpteen extras fitted by previous owner, sat, solar, extra batteries,tow bar. gas low, the list goes on and on. !!
It's a 2012 with only 8200 miles on it !!
So question is what MPG can I expect to get ?? not a speedster as we are retired and never in a rush !
Any replies will be much appreciated

 

[DanielFord]

about 20-23 I would guess, if you go steady. That's what we get!

 

[TheBig1]

somewhere between 23 and 28 depends on your right foot generally

23 would be the absolute best we have ever seen

19 - 21 is our norm, but guess it depends on what engine you have, we have a Mercedes

 

[Popeye]

My last Geist had the 3 litre lump but that had a Manual G/Box and we were around 26 most of the time. Your Auto should bring about 24-25 I reckon.

My new 3 litre Merc Auto can't get above 19mpg, but I'd rather that than go back.

Our Kon Tiki 699 with the 3L, 180bhp and comfort-matic semi-auto gearbox is currently turning in an average of 23mph. Only 6 months old and 3k on the clock so would hope it will improve slightly as she gets some more miles on her.

Approximately £260 pounds per thousand miles driven...

Twenty four and a quarter to twenty nine and a half.. MPG...

Depends mainly on how much stuff you carry... and the terrain you are driving on..

I found with my old Rapido and the comformatic 6 speed gear-box..

I got better mileage using the manual side than when in full auto mode...

Just felt I was in control of when to change up or down.. and could use the gears to slow when needed..

With great respect - it's I think actually more or less irrelevant as a cost of ownership.
It'll be rubbish, but any MH has the aerodynamics of a brick anyway.

Work out the actual annual difference between (say) 23pmg and 28mpg average, over (say) 5,000 miles per year....and many MH's do less miles than that per annum.

Then compare that to it's daily rate of depreciation whether it sits on your drive or is driven.....perhaps £2,000 to £3,000, if not more per annum; then cost of insurance, breakdown cover, servicing costs, cost per night away on any pay-for site.

When weighed against the BIG costs of ownership, a variation in mpg really just isn't a cost factor of any significance.

We just drive till it needs filling up, then fill it up and drive some more.

Just done 1300 oddmiles UK to Javea, brim to brim mpg 22.68, driving at
60 mph (true) in a 3.0 litre manual X250. Don't believe the onboard computer, that tells porkies at 26.5.

 

[ianandkath]

i would be very happy with half of that

Fiat 150 Hymer a class 27mpg and 25mpg towing, tank fill to tank fill. Trip shows 1mpg better.

My 12 months old Fiat 2.3 130 gets exactly the same figures as the 150 then. Never a lack of power when towing we are really pleased with it. Had my old Autotrail remapped but this one is fine.

Fiat 150 Hymer a class 27mpg and 25mpg towing, tank fill to tank fill. Trip shows 1mpg better.

Hymer A class, Mercedes 163bhp base with full 7G auto 25mpg found by filling tank and divided odometer mileage, not much in it for the same bodyish size, haven't tried towing anything yet, the engine is starting to free off now so might get better, I keep to 55-60 on the main roads.

 

[pappajohn]

Most of the mileages mentioned are around the same as my 2 ton 3ltr v6 diesel (merc engine) car on the urban cycle....i average 23mpg round town

20ish mpg at 70mph don't want it clogged up with carbon

 

[Jo662]

Ours is a 3 Litre comformatic,and we get between 22 and 24 depending how fast we go.You will love driving your new motorhome,we do and would never go back to a manual!

 

[Jaws]

.

If you have a motorhome that only does 5k a year why not get a car and stay in hotels !!

Hymer b680 4.6 tonne year 2000 with 90000 on the clock 2.7 merc.

Filled up in Kings lynn a few detours and stop offs on the way down filled up in Chichester 66 quid.
Works out about 24 mpg brim to brim.

We have had ours for 7 months and got 8000 miles up so far it would have been a lot higher now had it not been me not feeling well on our first trip out and coming back home. The fuel consumption is not a lot worse than my old Ford Anglia and Cortinas at 30mpg for maximum speed of 75mph not four ton lorry.
