Max range for 111R

[Ben Cole]

As title, what is the maximum range for a 111R on a cruise with a gentle right foot (70mph m.way work)?

Mpg wise, I get in the high 30's in my R driving at a gentle 70mph-ish cruise, giving a theoretical maximum of 365 miles from brim to bone dry.

330 miles is the max I've been brave enough to get. Usually get a lot less than this, around 250miles. The gauge gets a bit dodgy towards the low end. Once ran out of gas with 2 thin LCD bars left.

Maximum I seemed to get out of an Exige (while the driving-in procedure) was around 450km (281.25miles) with around 35 litres of fuel. That would make 7.7lites per 100km.

Now that it's supercharged, it'd probably be possible to get around 300-350km out of it - if you can keep to highway crusing, it should be even more than 450km (runs more efficiently). Most of the time, I only get around 250km... I wonder why. :S

I usually get around 250 miles on a cruz (85ish)

Interesting thig is by comparison we found that Speedy's 240R is MORE economical.

Yeah the most I've had on a gentle cruise was 250 but my normal range in the 111r is more like 200 miles. Which was quite a shock coming from a standard S1 40mpg even when driven rapidly!

Just goes to show how damn good the K engine was.

That's the problem....the K series was designed as a 1.4 with economy in mind.

It wasn't designed for a sportscar......
