The Black BeastManaged to average 30.8MPGwhich is pretty impressive...
I drove from Kent to Liverpool and back. Did 577 Miles
I filled up with Tesco Momentum99 which was £57.59 (can't remember how many litres it was...)
I had just under half a tank when I got to me mums. On the way back I put in an extra £10.00, so altougher was £67.59.
Pretty much stuck cruise control on at 60MPH.
Before I left I did clean the MAF and MAP sensors.

Thanked 455 Times in 375 PostsI got a tank calculated 40.3mpg over 150 miles when stuck on slow moving A roads in my 850 T5... trip computer had it at 41mpg, the little liar.
It was boring, but amazingly frugal when the turbo gauge rarely moves.

Thanked 3,343 Times in 2,497 Postsme too, not really into modern gadgets yet. I have an old Konica Minolta camera that will only accept max 1 GB micro SDs. So I bought some second hand ones from CEX....then ran them through a file recovery software that I had handy out of idle (perverse) curiosity.... Originally Posted by kmb

Thanked 2,466 Times in 1,996 PostsConsidering thats a long run mostly cruising at 60mph, isn't barely over 30mpg quite poor?

Thanked 117 Times in 103 Posts31.38 MPG from Killarney to Cork. 73.6 Miles with a 5 spd GT which I'm using in manual shift mode 98% of the time.
Some stage it dropped to 8.7 L/100km = 32.46 MPG, but towards to the end of the trip I had to change gears frequently.
