I'm probably only getting 250 out of a tank in my 120 but guess that's due to a 200 mile journey between 80 and 90 mph most of the way still doesn't seem all that great though !

went on a long weekend to Whitby in my 120+ did 390 miles on full tank that included a fast drive on M62/A1M. To compare that with my last car 2.0l Laguna Sport that did 330 miles on similar run a full tank

N.B ZS MUCH MORE FUN TO DRIVE !!!!!!!!!

well by the sounds of things I may have a bit of a problem car seems to be running great , so in light of this does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? As I have no clue just for reference only mods are k&n panel filter and 4inch slash cut tail pipe from powerflow and had new head gasket due to failure 1500 miles ago, any advice greatly appreciated

Cheers
tom

I got 250 out of my last tank - lots of short, mostly 'assertive' journeys.
