4.2 mpg

[Chuggaboom]

Well I know we don't really care about mpg for obvious reasons....but has anyone worked out what they get ?

Following my recent RR session (indicated 350 bhp/264 ft lbs ) with the 4.2 in the tuscan (where fuelling was shown to be correct) coming home I reckon I got about 19 mpg at a steady 80 mpg.

I managed a few years ago to get 22/23 on a run (motorway about 80 ish). Round town, its more like 11.

[AlVal]

haha, by the topic I thought you were a true hero and had it down to 4.2mpg

On our run to the Nurburgring a few weeks back I managed 23 @ various motorway speeds with plenty of 4th gear for the desired snap crackle and pop when passing elderly motorists or people with their windows down I think 25/26 is actually possible if you sit at 70 and behave.

Around town/normal driving, I'd hate to work it out.

I do know about 5/6 laps of the Nurburgring will kill a tank though.

Mine is very surprising economical on the cruise. Travelling up to Fighting Torque, approx 190 miles from me I used just over half a tank of super, mainly at fast motorway speeds with the odd standstill on the M25 thrown in. I went on to do a fair few full throttle runs (3/4 mile) and topped up on the way home, didn't work it out exactly but it was around 25mpg which is simply amazing .

Just got back from a round trip to Wales, did 26mpg in mixed motorway driving, but cruising at 80-100 ish.

Milan last year, some tanks returned 27mpg

[Byker28i]

27Mpg last year up and around the lake district and home again. Averaged over 5 days and 1800 miles.

Been commuting across London the last few days, probably about 10mpg now....

[MackemPete]

This thread is making me jealous! I only ever get about 12mpg never more than 150-60 miles out of a full tank! I'm def looking forward to getting it remapped...

HTF did u ever get 30 the way u drive

[optimax sniffer]

it twas on the return from the 12mpg cerburgring trip. 350 miles to a tank at 100mph cruise! more economical the faster i drive.

Is there a moral in there somewhere?

Same here.. the 31mpg (may have been a dash more) was the return from a trackday at Croft.

Drive them hard, they'll pay you back!!
