Hi there, I get an average of 250 miles to a full tank, biggest thing I notice is that the tank is quite samll at 41L.
I have just put together an Execl speadsheet to log my fuel consumption which I will be trying out this week and if it works as I plan then I will post it up here for others to use.Here is a link to Cube info, including Fuel Consumption. http://www.cube-cubic.co.uk/essential.html

For some reason I've been getting really good consumption lately. A full tank (approx 35 litres) gets me about 320 miles. Compared to the 260-280 I used to get with 17" wheels (I have the factory 15"'s on now). Oh and I've just serviced it.

I have a free iPhone app (Road Trip LE) on which I log my details every time I fill up.
Since April I've been averaging 36.69mpg
Getting an average 257.6 miles per tank.
Despite the fuel tank theoretically taking 41 litres, on average I only get just under 32 litres in when I fill up. So there must be about 9 litres of fuel in it even when the fuel light comes on. I suppose it's reassuring to know you could probably go another 70+ miles before you absolutely conked out.
Best I've managed so far is 39mpg. Still looking for that elusive 40mpg...

Driven mine on fumes, best ive had was 320-330 miles last year (40mpg ish) with frugal driving! 39 litres max in tank i find when really empty? tank may be lil bigger on my 1.5 CVT (2006)??.
K&N filter and roof rack/basket has knocked me down to 300-310 miles a tank now, even after a full service and cruising at 65mph!!

Eurobob, the tank is a bit bigger on the 1.5s, 45 litres to the 1.4's 41 litres.
I've got a week in France soon, so maybe some steady cruising there will give me that 40mpg...

Thanks for all the replys. i must have some problem with my cube. i only get max 180 miles on a full tank, any idea what problem do i have??? do you drive till the petrol light shows and fill up or do you drive past the light shows and fill up. it is very nice talking to all you cube members, don't know anyone here in london that has a cube so it's had to ask someone if i had a problem with the car.

I do 115 miles a day to and form work and fill up every other day. So I usual watch the trip meter for range, but I'm probably about 10 to 15 miles in on the refuel light before I re-fill, as I will go to the same petrol station to refuel (best for price and pionts).

hi guys
so does anyone know what problem i have with my cube?? it seems like everyone is getting min 250 miles on the tank! hmmm..... i seem to feel the cube has gone slower. my girlfriend's brother siad it might be the clutch has worn thats why the cube is not picking up speed like it use to and not giving as much mpg.
Posted 1 month ago # -
I would be VERY surprised if it was the clutch! The Cubes are automatic and don't have a clutch. Has the car been serviced recently? Maybe try renewing gearbox oil, check none of the brakes are sticking.
Mmm low and slow...................... Like a TortoisePosted 1 month ago # -
I agree, servicing (just done mine) and a lighter foot may be the answer, im very anal and try to keep revs between 2500-3000 max! Its not millenium falcon speed i know (65 mph ish) but its gets you the 300 miles a tank! (and thats with my roof basket and boot full of gear!). I see so many close calls on the motorways i prefer live in the slow lane now!!!
Ive done 2000 miles in last two weeks back and forth exeter and generaly get 75 miles a quarter, 150 miles at half etc, although the needle/gauge is not linear i find so seems to go slower as it gets to empty!!Try the eurobob 2500 revs challenge today! and win a teddy bear from the bottom shelf! (larger bears on top shelf requires a 1000 miles to a tank!)

Change engine oil and oil filter. If You dont know when done...
Also airfilter & sparkplugs, especially airfilter is very important for fuel consumption figures.I live in London too,with our cube.I do see them occasionally.But yes, they are rare.

OK Trying the attachment feature again.

Finally did it! Busted the 40mpg ceiling (41.5mpg) whilst in France this past week!
Lots of relaxed 60mph cruising and no stop/start driving. The smooth roads probably helped too!
Now if I can just maintain that driving mentality on UK roads...

Good skills! You will be as bad as me soon (2700 rpm is the new black!)
How many miles in total you do in the cube? 97 or 95 ron in froggieland?
Posted 3 weeks ago # -
Eurobob: Didn't do too many miles actually as was only on the Cherbourg peninsula with friends. Had a nightmare journey over as ferry from Poole was cancelled and had to drive to Portsmouth instead very early on Sunday morning, so absolutely thrashed the Cube to get there in time, resulting in a 34.1mpg! But a fill up on the Monday followed by the steady driving (flowing A type roads, light traffic) got me my 41.5mpg in 180 miles over the week. Filled it up before getting the fuel light on. Just the usual 95 ron.
Was a bloody shock coming back to London from Portsmouth on a Friday afternoon with the traffic, rain and Hindhead tunnel roadworks. The holiday's definitely over...
