28v6r 0 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Actually.... when I picked up mine from London, I did at one point manage 35mpg, but yes, 34mpg is about right and damn good if you ask me. Before my VR, I had a Volvo 760GLE Estate and it only managed 27-29mpg on a long run and it was a 2.8 V6!! So.. yes I'm pretty happy with that but I don't know if it can be bettered...

maak 0 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 Jees, that is good - would a dodgy MAF affect mpg? 80-90 mph I would be lucky to get 24mpg. Link to post Share on other sites
dubloke 4 Posted June 16, 2004 Report Share Posted June 16, 2004 over a constant speed it will be better! i managed 34mpg on the way to inters as a result of having to follow/lead my bro as he was running his g40 charger in! saved a load on fuel, good job as i got taken for £60 when photo'd in a 50 @ 76! oh well, ce le vie!
