Clutch & Petrol
Clutch & Petrol
Thanks
Hi guys, I know my clutch is on the way out and I do have a new one to replace it. I just wanted to know would my slipping clutch cause mileage to be worse than usual? I did just over 200 miles and it cost me around £45. Now I dont know if this is normal because this is the first time ive driven the car, but would be thankful if anyone knows.
Thanks

IS200s are not known for their impressive MPG, although when driven sensibly, it's not that bad either. There are a couple of MPG threads on here where everyone compares readings. However your figures give around 26mpg, which is about what I'd expect if driving 'enthusiastically' most of the time, (with a good clutch.) I get about the same from my tuned 1.6 Pug when I am 'enthusiastic' with it. Though 30-40mpg should be easily achieved with a good clutch and a light foot. (In either car!)

30-40 in an IS? Bit optimistic I'd say, I manage 26 mpg at best and I'm not a mad fast driver (ormi reckons I drive like a granny to be honest)

I had trouble in the lanes, in 2nd gear the car would not go up this steap hill, so had to put it into first and ease it up because if I put my foot down too hard it would rev more than pull.
I was driving an average 70mph, and that was steady, the only time i put more pedal to metal is when I was coming towards a hill.
