Just worked out what '£37 (@ 93.9/L) of petrol in about 150 miles' is.... It's just short of 20MPG (if i worked it out correctly :)).

Agreed

If you treat the car with TLC she will give good mileage.

On a few meets this year we have nearly hit 40mpg.

But you eed to keep the car below 3,000 revs and at 70mph.

Yep. I've had 39 point odd mpg on a few tankfulls of 'conservative' driving on unleaded. Since converting to LPG, I get the equivalent of 52mpg (at the cost of diesel compared to LPG) while the actual mpg is about 22.

I would also agree that it's not that easy keeping below 3k revs in any gear.

Downhill, on an A road, in fifth perhaps

Good shout.

Look after the engine and it will look after you.
