What a day! 200 miles, 57.8 litres, £82.10

[Blues]

I know how you chaps love statistics so please enjoy these, as i don't propose to do the calculation again

Had a fantastic day hooning around Berks, Herts, Salisbury Plain and more gently around the New Forest in the F430. Returning 15.7 mpg has surprised me, as i was approaching the speed limit on one or two occasions.

The performance of this beasty, combined with the soundtrack, has me totally smitten. Even for a "big bloke" the drive was always comfortable, and the car sits very well through the corners and twisties. Fortunately, there is no mileage limit on my insurance policy.

Soon to be heard in a tunnel near you

Glad to hear you're enjoying it David!

I can't wait to see it in the flesh.

[D14 AYS]

You sound well chuffed with your new steed, great news mate

[Blues]

We'll have to have lunch soon so i can show it off

[D14 AYS]

Defiantly,cant wait to dribble over it

[Blues]

I'll bring bibs for both of us Dean

Dave how economical....RS6..200 miles = £100

[Blues]

Bloody hell Pete, seems as though that car needs a good service

[RS 6]

Weighs the same as a ferry.

[Blues]

Ah, ferry 'nuff then

BP Ultimate or something of the like.

That's what I run mine on and that's around the low 1.40's plus it makes you go faster

........ Did I hear a mention of a tunnel

Shell V Power, only the best for my cars
Hopefully a TR coming soon Jack

[omgus]

Agreed, looked very smart, and sounded good. And the day sounds like you had fun.

[BerksJack]

Sounds like a great Sunday morning to me!

Can't wait to see it being driven in anger

Holy st, you need to get that thing mapped and tuned properly! I'll get a good 250 miles from a 'spirited' tankful...

Stage 2 MRC will get you running on Tesco 99, with well over 500bhp and better fuel economy.
