MPG thread
I know everyone is curious about their / others MPG so.... i thought why not put them all in here.

I worked out mine this morning and was surprised the figure i got. I had been getting about 25.5 MPG for a long time but i changed the oil 2 weeks ago and i'm getting...

28.69!

That's Dual carriageway / Motorway driving sitting at 3.5 - 3.75k RPM

Standard ZS 180

Ive only worked out my MPG twice since owning the 180. First time I got 32mpg second time I got 25mpg. Must be down to varied driving, as its pretty much all B road miles.

I could have worked it out again today but didnt want to fork out £50 cash as I needed some to pay for tyre fitting today (I thought it would need allignment too, but no).
