using mine as my daily now and seems to average 35-39mpg on a journey to work last week coming home after 11.30pm it reads 32-34 mpg over the week  :laugh: still suprised by the mfa readings but don't read to much into its accuracy so will work it out better on filling up the tank,can only get 50mpg in the note derv  :rolleyes: still i enjoy the 8v more tho!!!!

I'm trying to work out if its just my imagination but my 8v seems to get better mpg's on decent fuel like shell than it does on tesco/sainsbury stuff.

My reading was after resetting and i never stopped on the whole 50-60 mile trip .
My thoughts were the 30ish reigon when i got it but driving it today aswell and by judgement of the fuel gauge only i rekon it could "could" be near true of say 40mpg ,but damn 47mpg :/ does anyone believe this could be true ? The ol girls dont 109k and pretty well looked after mechanical wise ! Rust on the other hand :o
