Best I don't talk about my consumption figures... I didn't buy a 3.2 Omega to drive it like I was scared of it

I got 32mpg out of my 3.0l auto on one of my holidays to the south of France. I was pretty please with that as well!

were you feeling ill?

It probably doesn't corner quite as well with the pikey loft extension fitted

Pre LPG days, so no pikey boxes . Fully laden to the rafters though on the journey there (Aigues Mortes) and back, but obviously mostly empty for the 10 days or so we were pottering about down there.

As we were in convoy, we have a code of honour, the convoy leader sticks to the maximum speed limit. If others fall behind for whatever reason, its their responsibility to do whatever to catch up (except emergencies, where walkie talkies (and phones if necessary) are used - never leave a man down is the other part of the code). So, as you can imagine, there were some quite high speed runs and overtakes .  When I was leading, I was averaging high 30s mpg on the motorways at 130kph.

These are also the only time I've ever managed 500m from a tank in that MV6 

Aigues mortes. What a lovely, lovely place 

The old city is lovely, nice resturants and bars where you can sit and watch the world go by peacefully.  Up the road, though, that shithole called La Grand Rui, thats a bit like, well, a British seaside town

Filled up the Bullet yesterday, 14.5mpg, so an improvement on last weeks 13mpg .

Only I think this one was not far of, accuracy wise, maybe a couple of mpg max

Yes, very pleasant town. I had several good camping holidays staying at a campsite at Saint Marie de la Mer. La Grand Rui I only visited once, which sums the place up.

Very impressive. How accurate do you think? My 35mpg was with no passengers, a small amount of luggage in the boot and mainly at a steady 70 - 80 mph on the motorway.
