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

Bloody hell

[TheBoy]

High revs and heavy braking is what kills it

Ah, that explains it...

[Mr.OmegaMan]

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 

Sure your display is properly programmed - GM put a lower limit of 7.1mpg on the display so as not to scare people

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

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
