WhackyWill Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Good luck with getting 30 MPG, here's my consumption figures a best of 19? Jeez, are your local roads one way and have pits? Even I can manage mid twenties? although recent was sitting around the 24 for around town / b roads. London Traffic mostly and the occasional motorway trip. :scare: Quote
nowhereboy Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 I struggle to get 300 mile to a tank!! Most of my miles are sat in traffic on the way to work and back mind, then on the weekend I tend to drive it a little enthusicsticly on some local country roads. I sometimes wonder while I'm sat in traffic on a monday morning if theres any point in owning a car like this. Normally come the weekend it all makes sense. Quote
rabbitstew Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 4 tanks of petrol every 3 weeks better you than me Soon adds up. When I was using my zed for my daily commute to work & back it was costing me nearly £500 a month purely on super unleaded.... I worked out it would be cheaper to actually rent a flat near where I work in the week! 1 Quote
maxi-glasgow Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 Main reason I sold the 370 was due to me spending £180 a week on petrol for my commute to work. I bought a shed Saab diesel and a 350 roadster for weekends when it's nice and now spending at most £80 a week on diesel. Quote
Voodoo Vix Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 If you're not too playful you can easily get 30mpg, in the 2.5 years I've had mine, she ranges from 27.9 to 32mpg, admittedly she only gets used twice a week at most and 90% is motorway cruising lol Quote

nowhereboy Posted September 18, 2013 Posted September 18, 2013 To be fair no one buys a petrol eating 3.5 V6 to chug around in the slow lane..... At least no one that I know does anyway. Quote
Grundy Posted October 15, 2013 Posted October 15, 2013 A 21 year old driving economically on the motorway in a sports car? Do you people all still believe in Santa Claus and the tooth fairy too? 22 Here, owned the Zed now 4 days, this is my 1st week seeing how the fuel is going on a straight motorway trip to work - 12 Miles each way every day, 60-40 chance on heavy traffic, I've learnt I can no longer have a heavy foot on my journeys to and from lol, but hai ho love the car, does the job when I want it to Quote
bamdc2 Posted October 16, 2013 Posted October 16, 2013 How did you manage to start Uni at 17 if your 21 and in your 4th year? Hope your enjoying the Z! Quote
wideboy Posted October 19, 2013 Posted October 19, 2013 You pass enough exams in 5th year and head straight there after the summer break. I could have gone early too, but stayed on for another year playing pool and table footie in 6th year so i was 18 (and legal to get into pubs) when I hit uni Quote
Faraz Posted October 20, 2013 Author Posted October 20, 2013 I wasn't that dedicated unfortunately. Tuned 18 a couple of weeks before starting uni. I've just turned 21 now and started my 4th year. Quote

The G Man Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Forget the costs, going to Dundee once a week would, for me, have to be to collect a lottery win, my God, if you can afford the fuel/car/insurance, surely you can afford one of the uni's in Edinburgh or Glasgow. As for "stay there and enjoy the lifestyle", obviously never lived in Dundee, jings, crivvens, help m'boab, it's dire. Quote

Good people who don't sing when they speak. Quote
The G Man Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Look mate, if you move to Glasgow, you'll not have to share shoes, that sells it to me. Quote
Dblock Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Look mate, if you move to Glasgow, you'll not have to share shoes, that sells it to me. If you move to Dundee, you will have to speak proper English. LOL I know in Glasgow you guys have too many shoes. They are always tied and thrown over lampposts and wires. Quote
The G Man Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Ooh, a Dundonian wardrobe, nice, is it yours? Quote
Dblock Posted October 20, 2013 Posted October 20, 2013 Come on you know that was taken in Glasgow. Don't be mad, be proud. I know your I left out the picture of your kappa trackies, the socks tucked into them and a knife possibly Quote
