TVR T350 MPG

[TVR 350 MAD]

always fancied a t350t but at 18 i would never dream of owning one (ok well i have), just wondering what the MPG in the T350T was that follows along with it's £38k price tag.

post replies please


cheers

22-23mpg on average. Can be more on a motorway cruise, less on a backroad thrash

Not as bad as expected, how much does it cost to fill up

Bit of an irrelevant question really - it will still use the same amount of fuel for the distance travelled. Lets say it costs 20 pounds to fill up - great, but you'll only get say 100 miles until you need to fill up again. If it costs 40 pounds to fill up you fill up half as often - costs you the same either way (actually probably more due to buying Mars bars etc. in the filling station each time ).

Now if you want to know the range/tank size that is different. They take just over 50 litres. So do your sums on the mpg and you'll get the answer on range - 225 ish miles is about as far as you're going to get on a tank without risking running out.

Yep, virtually spot on!, when we went to Cornwall last year, I had to fill up after 220-230 miles, not too bad considering the performance! (talking of performance, the pull I get in 2nd with the cr box is quite something!!! )

Of course, if you take the crest of a hill too fast, the low fuel alarm goes off pretty soon! The fuel level reading can move from 12 litres to 4 and back.

Or...

if you drive like an old woman, as I have coming back from the South of France; I did 285 miles , before putting in 40.5 litres = 32 mpg.

Pathetic!

It won't happen again.

I regulaly get 28 mpg averaging over 100mph! i found around the ton is one of the most effecient/high speed to go at!

Compared to the m3 i had the T350 is very economical!

I think that most owners have paid about £45K new.

I paid £39,995. Dealers have them for sale unregistered for around £40k with aircon thrown in now. Great deal.

We paid £40K including Reflex Charcoal, graphites and A/C (Peninsula). I think there is something wrong with my right foot though, I only get about 180-190 per tank full. (Wife says I,m a jerry-'at-trick-nutter).
