andy 0 Posted April 22, 2004 Report Share Posted April 22, 2004 Hi jkm25. I do see the validity of your question! Obviously you didn't buy the car for maximum economy but MPG is a rough guide to whether a car is running normally or not, although it obviously varies a lot withh driving style. Average out of town, 140. Grandad mode, 180. When in absolute coffin dodger mode I have driven 220 miles on under £20. In town dont ask, (double figs only). Link to post Share on other sites
