Glorious day , lousy MPG !!!!

[NHyde]

What a fantastic day ! Decided to take the daughter out for lunch , we're in Cheshire , she's in Bristol

...anyway to the point !

Nobody buys these cars for their economy , and it's not really a cost issue but 17.5 MPG doing a steady 80 in MrsH's 400.

Now some of ACT's finest bits have been added , and Mr Adams finest windy chip plus a gentle run on the rolling road , but roughly what are other people getting ?.

I wonder if I'm over fuelling , but the car is going like stink !!

Comments guys?

PS 300 miles , saw only two other Trevors , one Cerbera , who is excused for having the roof on , and one Chimaera with lid on FFS !

Modifying the old Rolls Royce tale : if you spend your time working out what it does to the gallon ... you're not enjoying it enough!

Had to work it out, due to fact that damn petrol gauge isn't working ! TADTS

I average 18mpg in the 390SE (which is actually the same capacity as a 400SE now).

It looks extremely well:

Another person is jumping the 390 ship. That's the fourth in less than two months.
