ASHAMED . . .

[khushy]

did a 440 mile round trip yesterday in my 113,000+ Spyder and I really feel compelled to get this off my chest . . .

The Spyder returned over 35mpg @ an average of 61mph!!!!!

I know, I know and I am truly sorry for my behaviour - Mrs Khushy was in the car with me and I kept being told to drive sensibly for the whole journey - I normally get at least 25mpg as an average when I am on my own - sorry!

I think it's quite fun to do once in a while, when there is a particularly boring route ahead. 440 miles is a bit of a stretch mind....

You are forgiven, I've managed 41 in mine over about 30, but not sustainable for 440 miles, and I was at a lower average speed.

I find they can be reasonably economical if driven in the right (read: boring) way.


Aside: bloomin' good mileage in your Spyder, well done that man.

To get an average speed of 61mph on today's roads is pretty good too, could not of been driving like miss daisy!
Certainly testimony too how good the gen2 dfi engine (9A1) is!

HOW COULD YOU

yep no idea how you ave those sort of mph unless on a motorway.

All of my cars ave sub 30 mph

[jimmy p]

Maybe all his speeds are overreading and his 113000 mile spyder has really only done 30000!!

My 156k mile GT3 is about 26.4 all time and that's done mega motorway miles!

Did you mean "NOT" on a motorway?

My 981 briefly showed 40.0mpg over 5k miles a few weeks back.

That's what the M6 50mph limit does for you, trundling up and down...

981 BGTS manual. Highest i've ever got on motorway is 34.

Current average is 18.

In 4 years my Cayman R has averaged about 20 mpg. 35 was the peak when I did the motorway trip home after collecting it. No idea what the lowest has been. Low, I suspect. Still it feels like an eco car after my old Litchfield Impreza. It was regularly comfortably under 10mpg. A tank of V-Power in 140 miles was fun but a bit expensive.
