Currently on 337 miles and the needle is about 2cm above red. I find driving below 3k revs before the VIS operates is more economical.

Thats really good fuel economy, want too see what I can get on a full tank, shall be Friday that I fill her up from just at the top of the red.
Want too try a full tank of premium unleaded and the next time VPower and see if there is much difference not taking it above 3k revs, but that is not always easy to do! lol
Be an interesting experiment.

I drove to the Isle of Wight from Stafford this week and then drove home and during the week I did around 50 miles whilst on the Island. It cost me ?50 in fuel
190 + 190 + 50 = 430 miles on ?50.00 Good times.

Seems the 180 likes a good run. I see my daughter every month. 170 there 170 back.
Can do that easy on one tank. I find the ZS so comfy at cruising at 65 that you get there quicker than in other cars. Leaves you spare petrol to whizz about once you get there.
When I used to do the trip in my Rover 214Sei, I used more fuel.
Going up on sunday, will make a note of exact mileage and fuel..........

Lol, I don't know what my car is running on then, I only get about 250 - 270 on a full tank, but I do alot of shorter runs. Work is 24 miles there and back, dual carriageway for some of it. A full tank normally lasts me 2 weeks.
