46.3 M.P.G from my MV6 2.6 Auto
« on: 06 April 2012, 10:42:27 »

To say I'm pleased is an understatement.... :y :y :y :y

I've been driving it exactly as usual, a combination of city, country, and motorway driving. In no way have I been easy with the right pedal. :y :y :y :y

It just goes to show how economical these ancient old barges can be. :y :y :y :y.There  really is no need to convert to LPG when an average owner can achieve economy figures such as these. :y :y :y :y

Oh, sorry, I've make a slight mistake chaps...........The MV6 has been sitting on the drive for the past week due to the extortionate price of petrol. :-\ :-\ :-\

I've been driving about in Mrs Opti's Corsa 1.2 since then..... :'( :'( :'(

Shit. I should have known it was too good to be true.... ;)

A rather Corsa? Opti most "normal" sized people would have to double thier running costs at every point!

...as they'd need one for each foot!

I'm six-one and weigh fourteen stone....I do have to push the seat well back but I actually find it quite roomy for such a small car. It's a 53 plate model so much smaller than the later Corsa.

Would you be a portly bloke, Chris?.........a bit like that TB fella..... ::) ::) ::) ::) ;) ;) ;) :P

P.S. Portly is the polite way of saying something else..... ;D ;D ;D

 :( I can't get anywhere near 46.3mpg in my Miggy.  My general town, 'A' roads and M-way mpg is a lowly 42.3  ::)

Gosh 46 is very good :y, having said that, after my stat was changed I seemed to have better fuel economy and now get 38 - 43 which I thought was damn good for my V6  :y

+1 to that.

You've met me so you know how small I am, but even I couldn't do a matchbox car
