38-40 on a run is possible, 7mpg on track, everything else is somewhere in between :P

Long term average on my 220bhp AUM daily driver used to be 27mpg

TBH the MPG the computer says is a lie really but I get about 320-340 miles per tank :)

Around 350 a tank. Its the fuel cost thats a killer between £65 and £70 from empty to fill.
20p a mile so every day 60 to 100 its close to £20 a day..

I get on average - 80-90 miles for £20 worth of Tesco 99, and that's when I take it out for a play, driven hard

Also about a mile to work for me!! Once the evap system is removed ill use unisettings and change it so it doesn't pump extra fuel on cold start up  :wink: ........ Unless that's not clever  :embarrassed:
