Over 150 miles and a third of a tank

That was cruising along at 66 mph though Nottingham is quite a bit further north than Watford, that's for sure

[YZ250]

Only time I've seen 30mpg was travelling to Gatwick at a steady 65mph for most of the journey. 
On the early hours return journey I had no passengers but the mpg reduced to 18mpg for some strange reason.

Must have had a head wind

Ahh, that'll be why then.

Mine should be better on a run having a proper gearbox and all but it's currently running cold with a stuck thermostat  75° on the gauge

Does the economy no favours at all

That will be ok for a few more years

I've seen low 30mpg . . .33/34 IIRC in my car, steady 75 on an empty motor way one Sun morning.

Steady cruise home one day in the 3.2:

I managed 30mpg coming back from Taffland, along M4/A34 a couple of years back in the 3.2 Elite. 4 adults, full luggage, no pikey box. Apart from a moment of frustration on the A34, it was a constant 80mph all the way.

The superior 3.0l in my MV6 once managed 32.5mpg over a 2 week holiday to Montpellier. That included some very high speed runs, and poncing about around the area.

You've all got display units that have been wrongly configured by TB 

[TheBoy]

My last tank of LPG in the 3.2 Elite, 18.10mpg

Last tank of LPG in th 3.0 MV6, of which I only drove for a third of a tank, 21.26mpg

[05omegav6]

Ah the feminine touch

None too sure at present what my Elite will do on a proper run,but will find out in a couple of weeks when we have a drive from Scunny to Farnham for a christening.It'll be interesting to compare it to what the XJ does on same trip.
