What have you been doing?!?! I had high-teens when it was mine!
This over 1000 miles... although it's US, so equates to 12mpg.
Had reset it at home for the commute to work and got stuck for ages on the m25. This over 1000 miles... although it's US, so equates to 12mpg.
Don't think the headers are adding to the economy.
How are you enjoying the raptor ?
Miss the Z06 though. If you ever decide to sell......
this whole thread is pointless, why do we need the photos? are they proof?
reset it at rest, move and then stop, you can leave the car on idle and watch it tick down fairly quickly to the lowest number it will display, mine stops at 7.0
reset your mpg at 60mph and bring it gently to a stop keeping in high gears untill near stopped and you will get it to go impossibly high, mine maxes out at 99.9.
you can then sit at idle and watch it count down and take a photo of whatever value you want

No cheating. Must be an average readout not an instantaneous readout!
I'll start us off nice and high. (This is an average over about 5000 miles.
Every time I drive, I get the warm fuzzy feeling that I'm making my contribution to Pastor Maldonado's next crash!
I am on 18.8 mpg over almost 6000 miles in a 5.0 V8 Merc CLS - mostly journeys under 10 miles so I rarely get it showing above 22mpg - max I have seen is 25.9mpg on a run to Cornwall.No cheating. Must be an average readout not an instantaneous readout!

Good job I only do about 6k a year.
Have an OBC on the 2nd car but that would be dull and boring.
But I have found this thread quite reassuring and pleasing as I've lost count how many people comment or ask about the fuel consumption or lack of it on the TVR.
I use Fuelly.com to track mine and after 30 full fill ups covering 6,475 it has an average of 22.2 mpg.
So when looking through the five pages seeing 8's-14 I think the TVR is doing pretty good
Or been as we are Petrol Heads pretty poor effort

Car lacks a computer but I've managed a calculated 34.4mpg from my 2004 Fiesta 1.4. Not great in isolation for a small engined car although my driving is primarily 'urban' so I'm beating the official urban figure by about 2mpg, and that is driving fairly normally so I can't complain too much. Shame it costs the same to tax as a Golf R or A45 AMG though!

That sounds low; my CLS AMG 5.5 has averaged 23 mpg over 13,000 miles.Good job I only do about 6k a year.
My trip tells me average MPG from 55- 60 . Recently I've on;y been putting in £10 and running from indicated mileage to same milage as per trip on reserve miles. Works out urban to around 66mph. That's on a 1.4 Turbo, checz oilburner ,but it's possibly with little /no use of turbo, as I remember trips up north returned approx 46 mpg ( But at naughty speeds, and a lot of turbo use past loch Lomand to get past townies who didn't know that it was permitted to corner faster than 45mph).
