new member /new car ,frontera 2.2 petrol what mpghi, i am a new member and i have just purchased a 1999 2.2 frontera petrol sport with full sevice history and 68000 on the clock . i have not got the 4x4 yet i am picking it up next week i have never driven a 4x4 so it is a new experience and one i am looking forward to . can anyone tell me what mpg to expect to get around town the dealer told me it was quite good as it has the echotech engine . i will be using during the week for work which is a 24 mile round trip and over the hills and far away at weekends . any help and advice would be gratefully apreciated,thanks
Hi mate..
welcome to the forums .. marlbororman has the 2.2 SWB so he would tell you what to expect mpg wise
Hi, welcome to the forum
I have a LWB 2.2i and get between 26mpg and 30mpg if i drive it sensibly. However it can be a lot less if you floor it Turbochops and Marlbororman will give you a more definitive answer as they have shorties
hmmm, i dont do very long trips round the town, only get bout 20 to 25 to the gallon round town (city) but guess the engine isnt even fully warmed up before its switched off. most trips less than 2 miles from totally cold!!!
But when i went to a run near to London, at a steady 55 to 60 mph, i made it there and back on a tankfull and still had some left over for the following week. (Hull to London). Now ive done the lift and bigger tyres and the lights on the top,plus the rack,(more drag) not getting as much, but still good on a run....went to near leeds and back on 20 quid which works out at around the 30 miles to a gallon.( I was clogging it to get home) Still got a little left though. Depends a lot on how you drive it though. if your heavy with the right foot,expect less. i recently filled up and went to near Nottingham, Off roaded all day in 4x4 low box, and drove home and still had quite a lot of fuel left...But ever penny spent on fuel is 100% pure enjoyment. Anyway welcome to the forum,and enjoy.... Anymore questions feel free to ask away. Ian

Shorties If im honest i dont get any better than what fuzion has just quoted. Dispite the 5 door being longer it is actualy not that much more weighty. (Think it is less that 100kg difference empty weight? Greasmonkey can confirm this as Im to lazy to go down and get the handbook out the car ) I normally see between 50-60 miles for a tenner, depending on what type of driving im doing.

reply to denlike you mate i am a new onwer of a 2.2 petrol ESTATE and must admit i was concerned about the mpg but mine costs me 40pounds a week and i do 30 miles a day which to be honest is not much more than my vectra 1.8! so just enjoy your new car you wont regret it!!!
2.2 RS Sport MpgHi Mate
Welcome to FOG, I too am in the same boat, new frontera, first 4x4 etc A full tank costs 55-60 Quid and consistantly gets 350 miles when i drive nicely. About 26mpg or 20 pence a mile, not that i have been working it out or anything, Anyway dont worry about the paper stuff for petrol, start saving for the repair bills LOL Enjoy Teratron 2.2 16v Rs Sport 2000
