Hmm, 206 miles on 49.27litres makes 271 miles on a full tank at approx 19mpg. Seems a bit high to me unless I can't get to all that fuel before the pump deprimes.

Managed 320 miles on 46 litres last week. Exeter, Heathrow return. Driving like a granny of course.

VYT, not sure all your cylinders were working on that journey I don't think anyone would be able to beat that.
I think you should look in your bonnet and check you've actually got a TVR engine in that car.

BMW V12 5litre 16mpg
TVR Cerbera 19mpg
Cobra 6l chevy 8mpg.

All on mainly motorway driving! With a bit of foot down driving

Usually managed 17-19 around town in my Chim, with upto 28 on a good run. The Tuscan gives 19-20 around town, about 28 on a run.

I filled her up before I left and filled her up when I got back Just over a 1/4 tank left, got 46 litres in. I was quite pleased as well. Spent most of the time cruising @3k RPM. I usually get 20 - 22mpg driving locally.

Not much wrong with performance. I test drove a T350 at the weekend, for sure my Cerbera has the edge in raw performance.

On the subject of the T350. The speed 6 does sound good, for me better than the V8 Cerb. The car was just excellent, so well sorted, might have to get one when I can save enough pennies.
