mpg

[arwilson80]

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 ).

im getting about 320 miles from a tank from my 180.

I dont do much town driving so im getting about 32mpg

highest ive had has been 36mpg on a long run to inverness

Lowest has been 27.9mpg

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

Below 3k.... Only time i manage that is when i'm letting the oil warm up.

Good shout.

Look after the engine and it will look after you.

Mine surprised me this week, got approx 440 miles to the tankful whereas before I was getting 320 ish. It's running like my swiss watch at present!
