Great trip and great pictures there. I calculate your fuel consumption to be 37 mpg, so pretty good I reckon. (Another calculator gave me 31 mpg but I suspect that’s for US gallons.)
Thanks!With regards to the fuel consumption, one contributing factor to the relatively low consumption was the fact that the first driving day from Tallinn, Estonia to Kaunas, Lithuania which was about 600 km did not have motorways, speed limits were 90 km/h or lower and there were lots of traffic. Therefore the driving was mostly just driving peacefully on a queue. The fuel consumption on that day was 6.4 l/100 km according to the trip computer.

44 mpg then! In my 1,500 miles (2,400 km) since new I’ve averaged about 40 mpg. A lot of motorway cruising at an indicated 75 mph/120 kph, and I accelerate fairly gently, but once I’m up to speed I don’t like to slow down. Efficient engine and light car.With regards to the fuel consumption, one contributing factor to the relatively low consumption was the fact that the first driving day from Tallinn, Estonia to Kaunas, Lithuania which was about 600 km did not have motorways, speed limits were 90 km/h or lower and there were lots of traffic.

It's that time of year again. Anyone off on an interesting road trip in their A110 this summer?
Currently on Lake Garda, having driven down the eastern side of France and over the Alps. Heading south of Turin midweek, then returning home through France, which will make the whole trip around 2k miles in total. Only seen two other Alpines, both Bleu Alpine -we've seen more Morgans, Ferraris and Lamborghinis on the trip, and Porsche/Audi RS are ten a penny.leglessAlex said:

This is pretty wild to me. Even in every day driving I take every opportunity possible to floor it, things like motorway slip roads especially. It's a sports car!
