One day, they'll probably lock us up for this

The lowest I've seen on a computer was about 6mpg in an RS2 round Oulton Park all day. Depends on the car what they'll show though. My old "Driftbitch" 535i Sport manual would never show below 7.2mpg even though it was doing nothing like that, drifting round the rally stages at Oulton.
Hearing your story makes me happier about I have my commute and not yours tonight - the kitchen's just through the door behind me

Not sure of the mpg, but a friend of mine got the Gas Guzzler award on the Cannonball last month.

They were supposed to be going through Germany (hence the sunstrip slogan) but the authorities changed their mind. Those that didn't heed the warning (27 cars) were impounded for 2 days and missed much of the trip.

I had a 4.0 Jeep Cherokee a few years ago and that MPG used to godown to 2-3 if you put your foot down going up a hill!
I had a mate with a big Mercedes SUV. He eventually sold it when he figured out the reason he'd get only 14mpg heading towards Bristol (from London) and 19mpg going home was because of the difference headwinds made.SS7
....an another thing: I drive home the other evening (LHR to south coast) in my Cayman 2/7. I was tired after a flight, so cruised at 75-80 ish, and there are some 40 limit road . The trip readout was 34mpg.
If Porsche can do that without trying, impagine what they can do with a 1050kg direct injection 2.4l turbo in a few years. 185mph and 45mpg on E85 anyone?
There is hope.

gmk666 sounds like you need to go back to Yorkshire.
Ha! Only recently added that to my profile, having lived down here for 16 years. Trouble is, if I move back up north, I'll probably get the same MPG figures and a lot more points on my licence too.rathur said:

Cool car - could I have seen you around Cork Street in it a few weeks back?I've stopped checking what the Bristol does around town, less painful that way.
