I know, I know, I'm sure it's been asked before!

But, I was wondering, what sort of MPG does a Noble M12 get on the road with day to day running? Do people use them as a daily driver/only car?

Thanks in advance, Doggydog.

Between 15 and 18mpg. High 20's on the motorway

when mine was standard it was my company car and I used to do 15k a year in it... during that time I averaged 30mpg.

Its dropped to 25mpg now my car is modfied... of cause short trips with heavy right foot make it go below 20mpg just like any performance car lol.

If you have to ask then you've got the wrong car!

Its better not to know.... i can easily go through a tank in an evening of hooning about

I get between 150 and 200 miles of various road use from £50ish of V Power. I used to use regular unleaded but was shamed into using super

Mapped for 95RON so why not use it? I do and when my engine was refreshed after 55k miles (clutch broke so engine had to come out anyway) the pistons, head, valves etc all found to be in pristine condition. Proof that the old dogma of cheap(er) fuel leaving all sorts of gunk and residue dosn't really hold water any more. Higher octane fuels have greater anti-knock properties, but again if the engine is mapped correctly, it shouldn't need it.
Back on topic, I get 28mpg on a motorway run, 23mpg on A&B roads and about 10 mpg on track

The Noble is "relatively" frugal on fuel - 15 on track to high 20's motorway (and it isn't a killer on repair costs either) - taking into account its performance envelope. But perhaps ask yourself what it is you are looking for from a Noble, rather than what's the fuel consumption, and the answer may help in your decision.

I get about 1mpg better than those, but mine is a 2.5

I was firmly in your camp before being convinced otherwise. I have a couple of mods now but have not had a chance to get the car remapped yet so I'm using V Power as a precaution for its det protection. Once I get the opportunity to visit Trevor I'll be specifically asking for a safe map so I can return to 95.

[snuffy]

I reckon I get about 18mpg on average. But I only do about 3000 miles a year so it does not bother me.

At the moment mine is mega cheap to run :-((
