The Ultimate MGS5 "Real World" Energy Consumption Thread

[Weeble]

I accidentally reset mine last week so can't submit a report for December. However I did a 90 mile trip today starting off at -2.6C and smattering of snow. Temp went up to +2 when I reached home and I managed 3.4 m/kwh which i wasn't displeased with.

I've found if my Mrs drives a lot of short journeys the milage is poor, typically about 3 in the cold weather. I'll get 3.5 on short journeys in current cold weather 4.5 if not using the heater. Drove to Southampton and back from Poole Friday and got 3.9 with the heater on. Big caveat.. I just set it on auto 22* and leave it. I find once the cabin has warmed up the consumption is ok. Mrs sets it hot with the fan on high then does half a dozen 4 mile journeys and it eats the leccy...

Ah... the old "if I turn it up to max it will get hotter quicker" strategy with climate control.
