What approx mpg u lot gettin on an 8v?

[workhorse '90 8v]

I know every car is different, and we've all done varing things to them, and driving styles vary, and av trip distance, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc....
But i'm just wondering what u lot are getting for a comparason to my mpg..  I average approx 11.3 on the MFA reading, now according to the manual - you divide this figure by 282.5 - this gives me 25mpg...!?   Sounds a bit rough, think i'm gettin more like 28, maybe 30 at a push.

i drive to plymouth twice a week, 100 mile round trip, usually, sensible driving between 50 and 60 and mfa always reads between 42 and 45mpg. this corresponds well with the amount of fuel i put in it.

general running round/short trips i am getting between 35 and 38mpg, but as you say it all depends on your driving or your mods

k+n 57i is only mod on mine as far as i know

i once went to plymouth in heavy traffic all the way 35 to 40mph top gear and mfa reached 54.1mpg
dont know what happened there?

i regularly get 34+  but on long motorway hauls i have seen 42+. if you dont go above 3k rpm then fuel economy is well good but that is boring

I managed to get high thirties out of vr6, cruising round norfolk at 40mph in 5th gear. Well not bad for a vr6
