Brilliant, cannae complain. Just a shame that there arent any enthusiasts around here  :undecided:

Have you got it mapped? If not fly over to Manchester and let Doc put a map on it  :smug:

It will transform it big time also get much better MPG .

Not yet its only a few months old. Need to get some warranty work done first with the alarm as it keeps going off, but yeah hoping then to get it mapped. Cant wait  :laugh:

I achieved my goal of 60+ mpg over a long distance this weekend just gone...62.4 mpg over 210 miles.  Mostly on the motorway, driving like a granny.  More like 46 mpg on the way home, driving "properly".

62.9 mpg - peaked at 63.1mpg.

Good going.  Over what distance?  When I went to Wales I peaked at 65 mpg by the time I came off the M4, (so about 150 miles into my journey), but then it was A and B roads for the last sixty miles or so, which didn't do my any favours.

I do think 70 mpg is achievable, but it would be dangerously slow.

The video shows the trip, 27 miles in 41 minutes, average in total 62.9mpg. I am still travelling at 70mph on the motorway getting that too.

Journey consists of 2 miles of 40mph. 10miles of 70mph, then 6 miles 50mph, 5 miles at 60mph then the rest at 40/30mph for the rest of it. And I pretty much stick to all of the speed limits, none of this driving at 40 in a 60. I also use the cruise control.

It's definitely possible:



I'm still THE DADDY!

Summer tyres going on again on Saturday, will give it another bash.

BTW 62 mpg is my best fuel tank record set in Novemeber last year.

If youre very easy on the go pedal, you can get reasonable mpg figures.

Over the long weekend I did a couple of trips from London to Milton Keynes up the M1 and was able to hit 63mpg quite easily.

I was sitting mostly around the 70mph mark, with a couple of squirts to get around those annoying people who sit in the overtaking lanes but dont overtake and drive below the speed limit. :angry:

Other conversions:

27km/L
~4L/100km
