After a complete nightmare getting down to Dorset no Friday evening, including getting the EML on for a while (see other section), I filled up Yesterday morning at Honnington and after 430 miles of mostly 80 (ish ::)) mph cruising down to Plymouth and home again I've averaged 30.7mpg and 64 mph according to the confuser :y :y

It has made me realise that I've still got my Italy costings too high for driving ;)

Bought the car yesterday, drove from Swansea to home (Bristol).

1999 3.0, 130,000miles. Cruise set to 3,000RPM (84MPH indicated).  One heavy stamp on the loud pedal........ 31.9 MPG  :)



My other 3.0 (1998)

Gatwick Airport and back to Bristol via W-S-M, Cruise set to 75MPH, no stamps on the loud pedal........ 24.1 MPG   >:(
