LOL, agreed, I have never once considered the MPG of my Tam, I just fill up when it's a quarter full, all I do know is that it is a LOT better regarding MPG than my 4.5 Chim I had before, and I only know this because I don't have to fill it as often!!

Ah but maybe the tam has a bigger tank ^^^ mmmwahahaha

Do you guys run unleaded or super unleaded ?

I always try and go for Optimax, but, to be very honest, I have never once noticed any difference between the cheapest and the most expensive fuel, this goes for both the Chim and the Tam (which, incidentilly, does have a larger fuel tank, but it's still noticably better on fuel!)

[scruffy]

98RON.

Noticed a difference in the Griff, but not much in the 350 - maybe it's a grumpy V8 versus whizzy 6 that's the difference.

Had to put normal 95 in mine today after picking it up. It was definitely pinking a smidge during full throttle acceleration in second showing a Leon the right way to proceed rapidly. Usually run it on Optimax/98 and have never heard pinking, even at altitude in the Alps or the heat of Italy.

I get around 22-23mpg from mine, probably more on a steady 90mph motorway cruise - must check it sometime. (does anyone else find it hard to maintain a steady cruise? Today, like usual I found myself tearing-arsing along the M4/A404 with a silly grin on my face).

Averaged 32mpg on the motorway with a 4.0 Speed Six.

"A" road trips where down to 25mpg.

[civicboy28]

I only get 25mpg out of my wee 1.5 civic on the A roads.
Hence TVRs MPG doesnt scare me in the slightest.

OPTIMAX ALWAYS (or BP's finest if no Shell is available). I drive my Tam around Central London but I've never really thought about MPG. I think its a bit more economical than my old Jag XK8 was so I suppose I'm getting about 18 MPG around town (rough estimate).

[AlexRWD]

20 mpg when I've bothered to check it - the Tams must be more economical though, as we can actually pour the fuel direct into the fuel tank, whereas don't you T350 guys end up pouring most of it onto the forecourt thanks to your fiddly fuel "hole"

[sidpinup]

About 22mpg in my Tam altough it seems to be getting a bit better with more miles on it. I have noticed no difference in petrol type so I just use normal unleaded, I dont think you are supposed to use super unleased anyway they are tuned to run on the normal stuff.
