Looks like a good day out :yYep wasn't bad at all ;)
nice scenery :y but a bit extreme to go all that way to take pickies of your mig :D ;D ;D nice car by the way :yAye ;D but wanted to have a rather large run to see how things are with it, All seems well much better after the service i did last month. Like driving around that area nice scenic route just a shame about all the motorcycles on the roads around there :-\. I swear some must have been hitting over 120mph on the straights :o
Hope there is a toilet on route , i use to take a plastic bottle with top cut off bigger ..well you know the rest ;DGot a roll of you know what in the boot :-X :D ;D ;D
oh its only petrol mate Look at the views you had 8) 8) :yAye Worth every penny ;), Probably the 2.2 petrol wouldn't be far off that mpg either with a hill like that :y
Oh forgot to add Instant mpg while climbing the hoseshoe pass was around 4 - 6 mpg going a reasonable speed engine temp got up to between 90-95c its one hell of a climb :o
Was only going around 30-40mph its a bad road ..narrow, loads of bikes, SHEEP crossing the roads, hilly scrap that verrrry hilly ;D.. Although i did have plenty of blasts in other places ::) 8) :yOh forgot to add Instant mpg while climbing the hoseshoe pass was around 4 - 6 mpg going a reasonable speed engine temp got up to between 90-95c its one hell of a climb :o

Nice personalised number plate.Aye ;D
Is your name Simon? ;D ;D
Blatted up horseshoe in Goldie - 4 up, with luggauge - on the way to North Wales. Turned round, and did it again, before heading off round Bala lake and onwards to Butlins ;D. That was the only bit of journey since the end of the Telford motorway that wasn't crammed with traffic.
My mum loved that car, she was cross when I destroyed it :-[
Done some calculations... Trying to bore myself to sleep.. :-\
168miles exactly traveled, 5.4 Gallons of petrol used.. So that's 24.5 Litres of fuel used at roughly in cost 140.0p a Litre of fuel that works out at 31.1mpg and the total cost in fuel used £34.38 .. Presuming I've calculated this correct. :-X ;D

Sound about right to me, that's around 20 pence per mile running cost. I like to get my 2.2 down to around 11 pence a mile :)
3.2 can be quite economical if driven well and you think ahead, this was my record:

Motorway/Dual Carriageway run, normally only get about 27 out of it over the course of a tank.

High revs and heavy braking is what kills itAh, that explains it...

Yep my mistake must have been looking at something else :-[
Tested it today sports mode and the kickdown switch floored it stopped at around 7. Something couldn't keep an eye on it at those speeds on the twisties ;D

Can't say I use the manual 1,2,3 gears... What's the performance difference by putting in second with sports then surely not faster than in Auto with sports on with kickdown switch floored :-\ will just have to give it a go sometime then :D
