Between March 14th ~ 20th, 2009 I traveled around two thousand kilometers on all types road in Peninsular Malaysia to test-drive Peugeot 308THP for reliability, handling, power, comfort as well as fuel consumptions.
Fuel Consumptions
As far as the fuel consumption is concerned, Peugeot 308 THP can be a relatively frugal car when pushed gently and steadily [w/o pumping] on the accelerator pedal at moderate speeds, but can be very thirsty when driven hard.
Note: Driving below 65kph increases fuel consumption inversely proportional to the speed at which AL4 sticks on 3rd or lower gears.
Achtung!: Flooring the accelerator pedal during 'taking-off' this little twin-scroll turbo engine will consume up to 30liter/100km [3.3km/liter] ! - during which never ask how many mpg, just ask how many gallon to a mile does 308THP consume...
Distance traveled: 2268km

Exceptional Conditions
1. Traffic Jam - along MRR2/Karak h/w on day1 school holiday rush hour.
Average fuel consumption: 11.8liter/100km [8.5km/liter or 24mpg!]
2. Start-Stop Driving - along Kelantan state/kampong roads while road-trackings for a local GPSmapping community.
Average fuel consumption: 9.2liter/100km [10.9km/liter or 31mpg]
3. Economy Run - AutoCruise from Gua Musang to Machang . The traffic was smooth. Speed around 50~90kph.
Average fuel consumption: 7.3liter/100km [13.7km/liter or 39mpg]
Range
Between March 19th~20th, I drove 740km [excluding 40km remaining fuel in tank as displayed by the on-board trip computer] without refueling in between. Giving an average fuel consumption of 7.6liter/100km [13.2km/liter]
70% of the journey was on auto cruise within 10% speed limits.
On the last 50+km [about 7% ] the car was driven at almost full throttle on NS-highways at very high speeds "to introduce" what Peugeot 308Turbo is. Hee heeee...just kiddin'.
I can conclude that Peugeot 308 THP can easily be driven [at legal speeds] up to 800km w/o refueling , especially on auto cruise.

Very nice pics btw.
I just recorded 9.1L/100km or 10.1KM/L. And yes you are right when the car is driven gently definitely is economical.
Fuel consumption is more than double during acceleration and overtaking. The best fuel consumption is when the car is driven 'steadily' between 80~90kph - AutoCruise helps improve fuel consumption.
Driving too slow [below 65kph] will not help improve fuel consumption though - because the car is running on 3rd or 2nd gear.
Wow! Menarik! Team F1 Brawn GP Mercedes Benz pn menarik..Abu Dhabi Grand Prix lagi menarik!
