20 litre's of fuel
« on: 15 October 2007, 21:08:42 »

Well I drove all the way to Burton at the weekend to my brother's 288 miles round trip and only used 20ltr's of fuel! Not bad me think's.  Filled up before I left and put in £20 of fuel, got to Burton and topped up with £11, 10 ltr's there and 10 ltr's back.

I was going to say, 288 miles on £20 is going some :o 60+ MPG.

I did forget to say I kept at a steady 70 80 mph and yes £31 of fuel which isn't bad I suppose.

I checked my mpg at the weekend - 32mpg, and that's a mixture of town and motorway driving.  I don't think that's too bad at all for a 3.2 V6!

Last week I drove up to County Durham on the M6 and A66 then travelled around Durham to different jobs then home on the Friday via the A66 and M6, a total of 384 miles and I still had a bit in the tank. Not bad for a 3.2 :y
