Another mpg thread!
As we speak I'm sitting in a service station near the Lake District. I've traveled 150 miles and only used 1/4 tank of fuel. Roughly what's the mpg? Anyone know?

The first quarter of my gauge seems to take forever to pass, then the rest takes just a few seconds (exaggeration)
No idea why.

When its warm lets say I 'dont care too much for mpg' It doesnt get thrashed at all, it doesnt get redlined, it just accelerates alot

Wasn't implying that at all lol. Just with the amount of servicing I have done over the last 6 months I can only assume this has helped.
I am very impressed with what it achieved. Even though it was very very easy driving. Although I had 5 people in car (3 adults a 5 year old and a baby) with a boot load of baggage.

If driven with consumption in mind the zs can be very good.
For what it's worth my 500 bhp m3 gets 400 miles to a tank too... Same size tank

I put £25 in my ZS120 this morning for a run to London(185 miles) and light still not on. Roughly 45mpg and that's with traffic on the M25 and some great B road blasts on the way home. K4 and KV6 are very good for economy and performance.
