I get about 42mpg
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

190 map Adam, but thats resetting the display on the motorway and then holding 80. If I include the trips off the motorway it will be 48-52

My standard 130 will do 69mpg at 60mph on a 44 mile motorway journey, feathering the accelerator so slowing on inclines then speeding back up on the way back down  :nerd:
