Hi folks,
I drove my car from Lancaster to Sarge's place in London to have him service my car. I then drove from there to Liverpool and then back to Lancaster. I averaged 71.2mpg over the entire trip. That's the first time I've cracked the 70 mark over the course of an entire tank of fuel, which makes me smile!
It was mostly motorway miles, of course, but I probably did a total of 30 miles of urban driving and traffic jams. Cruise was set to a true 60mph unless I was in average-speed sections of the M1.
I'm running the longer 5th, though I've only got 1/3rd of the underbody mods, so hopefully I can squeeze a little extra economy in the future. I also have 17" wheels, so they're clearly not too bad for economy when on a run.
Cheers,
Tom
