Definitely something wrong if you get 22mpg from motorway runs.... I used to average 27mpg in my 6 mixed driving 20 mile commute some country roads some town. when it was standard without the charger. Now I get anything between about 15mpg and 30mpg depending on what sort of driving.... On motorway only sticking to 75-80mph it does well over 400miles on Vpower to a 60L tank. But I've been know to use 1/4 tank to do 20 miles... ________________________________________ Black power baby!

I've never even attempted to figure out the MPG in my car....i should have done on it's first journey with me back from Chelmsford to Glasgow. Thing is despite fixing the AC i'd rather drive around with the windows down weather permitting, and enjoy the sound it makes. I'll blame the open windows for any low MPG calcs  ________________________________________ Turned 40 and in true cliched fashion buying one of the cars of my teenage dreams! |

I've never seen less than 30mpg from a tankful in any of the '6s I've run. The lifetime mpg of my black '6 that I ran everyday was 37mpg. ________________________________________ CLUB BLACK RALLYE||B8s||60-70mm drop||Black Partner Steels||P1 VTS Rack||Refurbed Beam||Hybrid ARB||VTS Torsion Bar|| |

***This, is really easy. Use an online calculator to make it even simpler.Currently getting 400-430 miles per tank, averaging 50-ish litre refills. I reckon I could get more but think there is a problem with my fuel gauge/sender as the gauge never quite hits 'full' any more and reaches half way at least 50 miles less than it used to ________________________________________ China D Turbo HDi daily chargerBlack Rallye occassional toy |
