On a 350 mile trip, I'd averaged 40mpg and still had just under half a tank of fuel. Pretty impressie since this was a fully loaded car (passengers and luggage) and I use the same fuel doing 130mile trip with just me and a weekend bag!

Stuck to 60mph with cruise control. Would have been better had I just kept at 60 rather than overtaking lorries.

And I just paid 130.9 per litre for V-juice.

Egbert Nosh is a bit of "character" who I think has escaped from the nut house to be honest.

44.3 mpg. (nicely run in at 24,000 miles.)
My normal average is about 28 mpg.

And on supermarket 95 RON.

I just spent 2 weeks in France bimbling around doing just under 2000 miles on my hols.

First 1000 i got 40 mpg and i was chuffed with that (that was on cruise at just under 70 mph).

The 2nd 1000 miles i got 35 mpg - mainly due to the cruise sat at 80 on the auto route, 150 miles of poo yer pants mountain trails just wide enough for one car oh and the 50 bottles of wine in the boot  :rolleyes:
