Dan Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Glorious weather last night so dropped the roof and went for a cruise. Filled up with Super Unleaded and reset the trip computer. Dual carraigeway out into the countryside, then cruising down country roads and a brief spell of motorway back home. Speedo showing around 70 most of the time. Total distance about 70 miles. I wasn't really paying attention to the trip computer or driving particularly for economy, just chilling in the Zed playing tunes and enjoying the weather. Pulled up on my drive at home and noticed 31.6mpg at 49mph average speed. Thats the most I've ever seen on the Zed, I was very impressed. So, to beat the silly fuel prices don't buy a different car, just chill out Anyone got similar figures ? Quote
Lexx Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 32mpg when I was over in France taking it easy. Over hear Im lucky if I see 21mpg! I really shouldnt drive like I stole it! Quote
newswseller Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 I can beat you all...... 44mpg @ 57mph on the M4.... Quote
MrLizard Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 33mpg on the way to ESR as i felt guilty about spending so much money, however with new exhaust and my desire to 'give it the beans', 21mpg on the way back Quote
Ebized Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 Over hear Im lucky if I see 21mpg! I really shouldnt drive like I stole it! At that mpg more like you 'borrowed it' - I'm surprised to see the plus side of 18mpg for everyday motoring - I didn't buy 296 horses to go on economy drives Quote
Dan Posted July 29, 2008 Author Posted July 29, 2008 I can beat you all...... 44mpg @ 57mph on the M4.... Bloody hell, is yours a Diesel Quote

ab350z Posted July 29, 2008 Posted July 29, 2008 My mpg has rocketed since installing the K1 exhaust. Think I'm changing up much sooner cos of the noise!! Seeing about 50 miles + extra to the tank, sitting at 300 at the moment and apparently still got 80 left till empty. Quote
