Me too,

18-20 in town and aboout 30 on a run. Mind you, I say a run, it was a 6 hour drive to Ilfracombe that should be a 3 hour drive. At one point, we'd travelled 10 miles in 90 mins.

I was suprised that I only get 18-20 in town, my 4.0 LS400 did more?

Thanks
Mike

my 3.0mv6 estate manual is doin bout 18-20 around town 25 on a roads but only 26-31 on motorway @ 70/80 using about 250miles a tank but my mig is always loaded up with 150kgs+ of tools etc

but ive just chucked a superchip in mine for FREE!!! but has fked mpg around town to 13/15 but Aroads now 26-28 & motorway 29/36mpg @ 70/80 but now doing around 320miles to last tanks worth!! so bit better i guess.. be way better if i didnt have a workshop in the boot!!

But bigger issue is my lsd is a 3.90 not a 3.70 so mine revs higher on motorway @70/80 than a normal 2.5/3.0 v6  :(
