Best economy is 34.25mpg on a tank on a long motorway trip. Miles per tank, my best ever is 396mls for 33.06mpg, which was on another long trip pushing it deep into fuel light territory though. Commuting to work is around 320 miles per tank for about 28 - 29mpg. Kev it is about £70 to fill the tank with 98 octane. ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

I managed 32-33mpg between Oxford and Folkestone on the way back to Germany on 95RON fuel. I wasn't particularly trying for MPG but I did stay between 70 and 75, had a fair bit of kit in the car as well actually. Not bad.________________________________________ 61k miles Ph.1 Diablo '6 Project Thread |
