Hi
Just had a 25,000 service and oil change (Company car). Spent a week around the doors on holiday and achieved 42.1 mpg with an average speed of 40mph.
Yesterday filled to the brim and travelled Newcastle to Birmingham and return. Set off with indicator showing 35mpg expected. After a round trip of 420 miles on motorways, returned at 46.1mpg and Ave speed of 58mph. This is the best result I have had in the year I have had the car. Total miles in the tank was 525, compared to a norm of 460/470. Result!
Drove at 70 to 80 most of the way, apart from roadworks, which at 50mph, really helped the mpg, but at 2,250 revs approx 80mpg, the mpg is usally over the 45 mark.
Definate improvements as the miles increase
