Anyone who gets over 24mpg isn't driving it properly.

 

I therefore conclude that I haven't been driving mine properly :blush:

 

I will give myself a damn good thrashing B) (as opposed to the car).

I always know when MPG is slipping below 20, I get an annoying whining noise in my left ear followed short sharp pain in my left side :blackeye: .

 

Love you Kat x

strange that - I get the very same symptoms.......gotta be the car hasn't it, I mean what other common denominator could there be :wacko:

I can get between 30-40.... but you just....can't hold it, even pulling away you just wanna push it a bit to hear it.... so back down to 22-23 we go haha :blush::lol:

I average around 18mpg, maybe 19mpg... I'd consider myself to have a slightly heavy right foot though. I could easily get over 20mpg daily if I wanted to, but thatd be boring :D

One time when I still had my Zed I filled her up to the brim, drove very carefully all the way from London to Newcastle...

 

I used the cruise control quite a bit and there were several stretches of roadworks, taking all that into account when I got to my sisters in Newcastle and brimmed the tank again.

 

I then kept the receipt and working out that it was roughly 296 miles I then carefully worked out the mileage divided by the number of litres that I needed to fill the tank. I then used the fact that 4.54 litres is roughly a gallon (near enough) and I realised the following....

 

 

 

I DIDN'T BUY A 3.5l V6 COUPE TO WASTE MY TIME WORKING OUT IF I COULD GET 32mpg or 34mpg :p

52 mpg... down hill in 6th gear.... haha

 

In all seriousness though, I got 41 mpg tucking in behind a truck on the motorway over about 100 miles. Just have to offset the fuel against the cost of re-spraying the front bumper! :lol:
