Little road trip
So I've had my 3.0 E85 since late last year & finally managed to get a good run out under its belt yesterday. Left our house in North Lincolnshire at 7.30 & was in Southwold in Suffolk in a touch over 3 hours. 162 miles, roof down all the way. What a fantastic drive, loved the straight 6 engine & surprisingly it returned 38.1 mpg on V Power. Was able to use the revs well in several over taking opportunities. All in all a great day out

Not sure I'd trust the OBC if that's what you're using for the MPG. I personally haven't found it to be accurate... at all!!

Yea thought it might be a bit optimistic! I’ll do a real world test next time and compare the difference!
