david1972 Posted July 4, 2014 Share Posted July 4, 2014 Considering one of these now quite seriously. Can some owners please tell me the real world mpg they are achieving? Many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majik_thighs Posted July 7, 2014 Share Posted July 7, 2014 Yes......The 1st time I went up to Edinburgh from Accrington I set the cruise at 68 MPH purposely and I got 30 MPG. Around town its around 22-25. I use mine as a work horse so I need the best MPG really but the 3 ltrs performance I think is well worth it. Just now and then I take the trainer-wheels off her and give her a boot full and it brings a warm glow inside and a big smile outside. The 2.5 will get you closer to 40 on a run and maybe 33-35 around town....they are a handy beast but they don`t come close to the 3 ltr.

david1972 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 loving the thought of 'boot full' - I'm thinking that will happen on the test drive tomorrow. I plan on asking to be directed to a roads, b roads and dual carriageways to sample all of the joys ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

david1972 Posted July 7, 2014 Author Share Posted July 7, 2014 Do you run yours on normal or super unleaded? Sent from my iphone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
