I am really happy if my MPG is over 40mpg, but of course some drivers (thinking of a certain Indigo Blue driver!!!) cry if they get as LOW as that!!!  :grin: :grin: :grin:

Steady trip home from work, sat at about 60.
Most probably down to the fact I have more power lower down now so dont need to use the engine so much  :smiley:

Since I have sorted my boost leak my mpg has gone up. On the Leicester trip I got 33mpg but since last Tuesday when we sorted the pipe work, I filled up the same day and the "miles to empty" started at 310miles, asnd since driving on the tank its gone up to 375miles!! My car makes fuel  :grin:

Seriously though I think on a run it would do 40mpg easy. will post up when I do a good run  :wink:
