Hello!
Sorry for the boring thread but I'm curious.
I want to drive my Tuscan from Bedfordshire to South Devon and I would like to know how much fuel I wil use. Purely for planning purposes, what do people get from theirs?
65-70 mph cruise on the mway, approx 250 miles.

I didn't buy a TVR for economy, I just want to know how much it will cost me! Im thinking about 60 pounds 1 way.
Cheers!

Good stuff, so I should be able to do it on one tank.
Sensible driving on the motorway, no matter what car you're in it's boring but in a decatted Tuscan, fast mway driving will be unbearable!
Thankfully there are some brilliant roads near me in Devon. That's where the real driving will take place!

From Harpenden to the Worral with some 50 mph limits and then driving between 65-75 mph I got...

30mpg! Unbelievable, really impressed.
