First fill Up

reasonable guess ..... as I cannot find the receipt .... I reckon 26MPG ... did 215 miles, put £53 in, at 1.46 per litre .....
Sacarily .... 126 of the 215 miles was motorway @ 70 mph ....... so travel to training has just doubled

Ah yes, that works out to be roughly 26mpg Not bad really! I only get that sort of mpg on longer runs (although saying that... I think I miss-calculated in the first post... lol)

I had about 36-37MPG out of mine on a drive up to Scotland last year.

Generally get about 31MPG on the daily drive, but recently during winter is getting about 27-28MPG.

I will say this time and time again

theres no way you should get less than 300 miles (giving it full leaded foot)

I regulary see 350-370 miles per tank
