True MPG of 4.5

[marcus1970]

Seems to me that TVR have never released an MPG urban, motorway or otherwise for a 4.5. Are they maybe a little worried that the true figure may show up the true inefficiencies of such a tempremental engine? Still love it though!!!

[mark.rowe]

I think my 4.2 is really good on fuel, especially for the performance you get!!

Mind you I would say that as my last car was a V12 jag

[Julian64]

I have three cars, and I would call the Cerb the economical one.

[davetherave1970]

My 4.5 gets 200-250 miles per £48 of fuel. Optimax of course!!
You can do the maths.

Although I've only done two tanks worth so far in mine and all mainly on motorways and A roads, so far I'm quite happy, compared with the German efficiency of my previous LCR as I get around 250/260 miles from both, with a 65 litre tank in the Cerbera compared to a 55 litre.

The performance and factor make up for the rest

Methinks you're not trying very hard. Repeat after me: I must try to get less than 200 miles from a tank, I must to get less than 200 miles from a tank.....

Hope you're enjoying the beast.

Driving back from Manchester on Friday 1st through rush-hour and in the pouring rain, never went past 4000rpm and haven't even used the Red Rose button as yet Been on holiday since but this weekend I'll be

On the M25 doing 90 when I felt the back wheels going and decided my decresion on the first run was the right idea.

Are you joining us on Sunday for VW Jeremy - how is your sale going?

I hope to be there - in my new steed. Cerbera is going tomorrow morning.

Just recently noted my usage down and i get 140 miles to £40

Havent had a chance to start working out the mpg but seems low

[arcbeer]

I've averaged 19mpg in my '98 4.2 going to Le Mans and back and I certainly wasn't "taking it easy" :wink:

Julian64, how's the hunt for an M5 going? Was thinking of a similar move myself.

Sorry to here that, who's the new owner, anyone from PH and did you get what you wanted for it?

Roll on your DB7

It'll still be for sale, but from a dealer this time. If anyone's interested, email me through my profile and I'll put you in touch.

I would average about 250 miles from a full tank. A long haul up the motorway would get me almost 300 to fumes.

However, I burned the lot off in 70 miles on a track day... Glorious!

[TT Paul]

55 litres 170 miles round town driving

[TVR Slag's BiL]

Does anyone think a De-cat makes a difference? IMHO i think it does, 180 miles to £45 of Optimax!

[wokkadriver]

Jumping jezuz, Nick! Are you fitted with concrete bootees again?

[TVR Slag's BiL]

Wokka,

You are just didn't try hard enough, poor show.

[wokkadriver]

Pah! More then halved your best efforts on the track

[TVR Slag's BiL]

Last post, D- for Engrish!

So what are you going to use to annoy the flag hoister @ 8am????

I will do a close study;

I will fill the car up tonight and see how many miles that I can get, driving semi sensible!

[wokkadriver]

Ahem, yes, sorry Slag.

You should try typing good England, like what I do...
