My normal commute (b-road and town) is 33-35mpg. I have gotten a hair under 40 out of it on a good run though.

56 plate VVT on 113k, getting manufacturers economy isn't half bad, I don't hang about either.

With Yokohama Geolandars and no other mods I can get 34:mpg with a light foot.
I use a Scangauge and it says mpg varies from 2.5 to about 60.

OPEN AIR MOTORING... 93 MILLION MILES OF HEADROOM

Last Wednesday I picked my M13A VVT Convertible up from Barnstaple where I filled it to the brim with fuel, zeroed the odometer, and drove via Minehead and Tewkesbury to Stow-On-The-Wold where I filled it up to the brim again, and got just over 20.67 litres in (4.54 UK gallons).

Most of the journey from Minhead to Gloucestershire was up the M5 at around 65 - 70mph, and the journey between Barnstaple and Minehead was mostly twisty and undulating narrow lanes.
According to the odometer the journey was a total of 162 miles which almost exactly matches what I get on Google Maps of 163 miles.
My calculations suggest that I averaged between 35.6 and 35,9 mpg (depending on which mileage you choose)

I'm running road tyres 205/70/15 and the car is in need of a service

IF IT AINT BROKE, KEEP FIXING IT UNTIL IT IS
