Well, I know I guessed around 500 - 550 based at the quoted 37 mpg but I didn't think that it would be that close.

Do not expect to go above 450 miles on 15 gallons (near as damn it tank capacity) on a working week, with some town runs at the weekends. I base this figure on 33percent urban and 66 percent dual carriageway.

Don't believe it. Mines done 6000 miles and I'm nowhere near 38mpg and thats driving like Miss Daisy. Car in dealers today for a few things to be sorted including the low MPG that I'm getting. ______________________ 2011 Full Fat RR 4.4 TDV8 2012 FL2 SD4 Auto HSE 2013 Kawasaki Versys 650 |

My mix of all sort of driving on-road the last 5 month give 12,5 km / liter based on 1.135 liter diesel (manuel ) over 14.206 km with engine on from 2 min. (short drive) to over 10 hours (long drive).

Tanked up again today 444 miles and 57 litres. This equates to 12.54 / litre or 35.41 miles / gallon. That is 2 mpg better than when I was at the 1200 miles mark. My journey for five days a week comprises 2 miles urban and 64 miles motorway each day. I did fill up at the airport one day and achieved a reported 40.4 mpg when arriving back at home, but this average was blown to smithereens at the weekend after going ten pin bowling !

Come on guys none of you are trying very hard in the economy stakes....................................... I did a 660 mile round trip run to the Coventry get-together last weekend on a tankful of derv (86 litres) and I averaged what you guys get and I was sat between 70 and XXXmph. The best so far seen on the trip computer has been 65.8mpg over a mile after fueling up at Coventry on Monday morning, but I must admit that was on no throttle creeping in the school run traffic and it was all down hill but I am regularly seeing 33mpg and the car has now got 2300miles on it. And my car is running with a 3.6ltr V8 and is pulling around 3.1tonnes of car! Commuter/town driving (in Glasgow and Stirling) gives around 26-27mpg. How can carbon have a footprint, it has no feet?
