yesterday i drove from durham to norwich to view a car for the other half. 246 mile trip each way. so i topped up my very empty tank. £90 didnt quiet fill fit. any way to my surprise i averaged 40.1 mpg. spent most of the journey at 72 mph with the odd 50 or 60 zone. my trip computer say ive still got 80 mile left in the tank. and all of this is from a car thats over 300 bhp (prob closer to 350) running stage 2 rica. i rekon this shows what i good job rica have done wth there map. when it was standard i averaged 36 mpg on a simular journey. car is a 2005 2.4 t5 with a few mods. on the way bak the car averaged 39.8 but i rekon it would of been higher if the other half realised it had 6 gears and no 5. women eh
