petrol

I,m getting 100 miles to ?20 ...... which I think is acceptable bareing in mind the cost per litre....... a mate gets 36 miles out of ?10..in his BMW 325i....

I do mixed driving.... pootling around London....involving plenty of full throttle bursts ( in 1st) and some dual carriageway runs at a (reasonable ) speed officer
Does that compare with everyone elses consumption ?
