Ameteurs.... On a run in my 2.5 Auto 1996, I got 42.something Mpg :y


Not 'a' run, so far its 8 seperate runs!

Now that self control!
Is there something you want to tell us Mr DTM? Coming out of the closet?  As I'm sure no red blooded straight male could drive like a girl for that long  ;)

Between here and Bristol on the M5 at the weekend we got as good as 41mpg in our Auto.....but it didnt like the stop start at all......And i made her turn the climate off and open a window........lol

That won't make any difference. Open a window, and it affects the aero dynamics, causing drag. Costs you the same in fuel as climate, but with less wind noise ;)

16mpg while towing on gas?

Get yoursef a derv, they do 30mpg towing...
Thats about what I averaged when we dragged that estate back here...

500 miles a week out of my own pocket.......well, actually the company is paying for the first 4 weeks at 25p a mile.....and with the cash saved I can get rid of those crap Michelin over hard piles of shit tyres on the back....

......now THATS worth saving a few quid!

I save my fun for roundabouts and slip roads where people try to cut in........the rest is plain boring motorways and dual carridge ways.

Mine is mostly spent at 40mph - not the most economical speed for an auto - with a couple of short stretches of dual carriageway where I have to make up time ::)
