Well done 526 mile trip on £70 of petrol up and down the A1 and only problem had was a return pipe on the water line needed the clip changing as had a drip. Not bad going. Even fully loaded with stuff to the roof lol. :) :)

I make that an average of 43.83 mpg (@ £1.299 per litre, = just under 12 gallons for £70)!!!
My goodness, I would never dream of getting that in my 3.2, and I have never got that in any car I've ever owned!
If correct, well done :y :y

20 MPG and I'm happy. :)
-
I think that I would have fallen asleep at the speed you must have been doing... About 40 in top would be my guess, and definitely a manual car...
20 MPG and I'm happy. :)
I get about 40 mpg from the trolley, 37 if I rag it...
I expect it's stablemate will struggle to better 20 or so on a run. Time will tell.

My BMW tells me I'll get about 600 miles on a tank, which it tells me works out at about 38mpg. :y
The reality is about 480 miles on a tank, and doing a brim to brim mpg calculation, works out at about 33mpg. :-\
Given that when I put my foot down I leave everyone behind in a cloud of smoke.... ;D. I wonder what the discrepancy between advertised emissions and actual are on my old German bus! ::) :-X

23.9 from the 3.2. Close to infinite on the 190D. :)

Had a shade under 42mpg from the V70[140bhp petrol]on a 240ml round trip @ mainly 60mph.The Omega managed a shade under 35mpg on a round trip to Aldershot a few years ago[mainly 60-70mph]

Was not heavy footing it most of the A1 is 30 mph in some areas and up to 50 mph think it was 68 miles it was 70 mph and they were doing some bridge repairs so had to go over the fly over and back down but 11 hrs and a few drinks in the the services lol

You've got a 40mph section alconbury to buckden approx 6miles, and bridge repairs at St neots so 1/2 mile,, those 30mph sections must be new, as I didn't see them,.. :o
There was a 40mph section around catterick couple weeks ago, on new A1m.

Am up and down A1 regular,
Me lud, no 30mph sections. Road works around hoof'land all 40mph. :)

Typical Omega driver... Always 30 over the limit or 30 under it... In the middle lane.
No middle ground ;D

It was near to Scots Courner. Info board 30mph said hazard in road but never saw a thing so don’t know how long it had been up. Went past a DVLA check point think it was about 20 miles past the boarder.
