Not that I'm proud of using small amounts of petrol - far from it, but this is quite impressive I think. I made the mistake of driving to Manchester via Leeds from London - without my wallet!! Needless to say, in Manchester I realised and had to be very careful on the throttle to get home OK. I was astonished that I could travel at about 70MPH and still average 41MPG over the trip from Manchester to London - pretty good aye? Total for the tank was 470 Miles, the last few a little scared. Can anyone better that? |

 Fine effort! Never tried to be that fuel-conscious... best I managed was a 34mpg - you need to get yourself to one of the club economy runs!-------------
