Phate is an unknown quantity at this point
I'd be scared to find out...specially when I'm hooning it...considering you can almost watch the gauge go down...then calm down and watch it go backup

I would guess on average around town i get 20 - 25. On a motorway high 20's and country lanes....lets not go there

mattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nicemattie007 is just really nice
Since prices went over the pound barrier I have been really taking my time, with 3 trips to London not excedding 60mph.
My trip computer shows 990 miles and I have used around 22 gallons of fuel, which equals 45mpg!
Shows what the ZS can do! Reckon it could hit 50 with an empty car and some coasting!

I'm sorry but you lost me... how has time anything to do with MPG?

I could make £60 last a month. All i have to do is have it parked in the garage.
