I've never had the bottle to work out the MPG of my Tuscan 2 but following a dash down the M4 to Wales and back last night I thought I'd have a look and low and behold 27.41 mpg which is much better than expected.... Soooo not only is my Speed 6 very reliable having done over 26,000 miles and 13 track days since the 1st March '06 it's not too bad on fuel either. This car just gets better and better. Andrea will be p1ssed off when I tell her as her XKR is much worse....
By the way I obviously didn't exceed the speed limit whistle

Ah no not 100%....
294.81 miles
48.89 litres = 10.754296549 gallons
294.81 / 10.754296549 = 27.134271281289362555404831435061
But still over 27mpg....

Checked mine last week after the run to Rockingham 700 miles+ also managed just over 26 MPG, used this Site to work it out.

I'm getting about 20 mpg, so either needs a tune up or could be the way I drive it hehe

I usually get around 27 mpg out of mine with normal driving. 10mpg or less on a trackday!

I get 24-26mpg and I'm not really renowned for driving like a puff!
