average mpg

[funbobby]

has anyone had the pleasure of owning a 400 and a 500 and was there much difference on average mpg?

[CLN1]

Haven't owned a 4 ltr car but my 500 has done from 13 mpg to 25 mpg

Running around it does about 15-16, on a long A-road run I get about 21-22 and I got 25 last year on a steady run mainly on dual carriageways. On the trip to Lemans it did 22 when it was loaded up and we averaged "decent speeds" The 13 mpg was during an afternoon in the Peak District when the roads were quiet and the driving was "spirited"

I've had my 4 litre for over five years and typically get 22-25mpg on a mix of roads.

I agree with typical22-25 unless I drive like my mum when I can get 30+ on a run

My 450, I get about 20mpg running around. Worst tank was 18mpg, best 26mpg on a long M-way run.

Overall average over 250,000 miles for me is 22 mpg

(Not that it matters)

actually 20 mpg, as odometer & speedos are 10% optimistic

15-18mpg on my Chimaera 500

Edit: Worst tank average 11mpg, best 26mpg on a motorway trip, average 17mpg)
