GTD Fuel economy

[Optimus prime]

Pls remember this is normal driving not driving like miss daisy or Eco driving

I drove from Switzerland to Belgium at cut and thrust speeds, with temp at 25+ degrees. It certainly wasn't slow and it certainly wasn't flat.... 60mpg.

(GTD, manual box, car fully loaded (with swiss cuckoo clocks and stolen nazi gold))

ok so manual and a brim to brim calc or OBC?

Brim to brim manual calculation.

Maybe the euro-derv is better quality (hand made by Swisswatch makers)

Had my GTD 32 months now and its pretty predictable in economy now.

Economy definitely increased as miles were clocked up, so not sure if its the OOTB engine settling in but that was a definitely the readings.

Most of my long distance drives are a mix of A and Motorway and on any extended distance where car is predominantly at cruising speed, even with some starts and stops on A roads its always circa 55 mpg

Town and local driving is the biggest variant and can be anywhere between 30-40 mpg depending on distance traffic and how driving it that day.

My long term average is 40.6 mpg at last time checked.

Given the performance the economy is really decent and been very happy with it as never expected the 60 + though do accept in perfect conditions it is actually achievable just never been conscious enough to attempt it.

Of course getting an R next so hopefully my long term cruises and can offset my town drive to come in at around the 30 mpg overall.

Reminded me to check mine.  47.8mpg over 22000 miles, and she does her fair share of town driving. Manual obv.
