On long motorway journeys mine consistently returns 35-40mpg and thats "with the flow" of traffic! I thinks as long as its under 3k its pretty frugal.

Impressive for the sort of car it is!

Sit at 65 in mine and can see 45mpg on long journeys. Not bad. Shame it shatters all that with the short journeys I do

Best I've had this weekend...

50 Mile Incline - 34mpg
50 Mile Decline - 40mpg


It doesn't seem any worse than my CTR, but I didn't buy this car for economy. It's my right foot that's the problem :lol:

2750 in 6th at 70 on the ///M....

Weird. Could've sworn mine is just at 3,000 in 6th not far off 90. I will check again tomorrow when I am out... Maybe my rev gauge is reading wrong... Or I am just talking sh1t - not intentional though

3k rpm is def over 70 for me... 70mph sits about 2700rpm.

Mine's an auto - shouldn't make any difference though, should it ?

All that said, and back to the point of the thread... When Wee Bing and I went to Scotland last year I got about 31mpg over 450 miles, 95% motorway, and at an average speed of 77mph. Great engines

Tell me the secret! I can only get 30mpg on a run and 25 normally

The best I've ever managed was 31mpg, driving like Miss Daisy on the M1 at 70mph with cruise on. That was an OBC figure as well, not sure if it over or under estimates the fuel economy.
