38 around town with the A/C on. On a steady cruise down the M,way she'll easily touch fifty + :y :y
There are ways to improve your MPG other than driving steady & cooking your self ;) Just remove all exhaust restriction :y :y :y :y :y

Vamps, looks like your Citroen's a liar too  :D ;D :P
I do not bother to look at my mpg fearing a heart attack (you can guess what the mpg will be with high speed driving + a/c on full blast in a v6 3.0 mig :exclamation)

Who would complain with a 50 mpg figure? Anyway, i disagree on the cooking instead of using the a/c. If you were in the country I am, you would surely say - bugger off mpg figures and THANK YOU a/c. my mig has trouble cooling down the car with temperatures hitting 50 C  :'( :'( :'( :-X :-X

Thats what the BMW was showing on the way to Rye today @ 80 MPH was very pleased indeed  :y
I will say something though when I put on the A/C that plummeted to just above 30  :o

Which is only a fraction more than a 3.0 mig when cruising with the AC on ::) ::)

Sounds suspect to me. Air con simply can't consume that much power.  :o I barely notice the difference so it stays on this time of year.

as an average over the past 1700 miles, mine is saying (and its dead accurate) 25.1mpg from my 3.0l auto.  And I don't exactly spare the horses ::)
