Back on the mpg issue....
I have just returned from a dirty weekend in York, then a few days in Newcastle followed by a few more in Falkirk then back home to Peterhead, North of Aberdeen.
Took it steady, pretty much adhering to speed limits all the way.
My average mpg over 990 miles of driving......38.5mpg. Pretty good for a 200bhp petrol car!
I had the odd moments when I had to stop a focus ST driver from thinking he was in a Ferrari, but generally just as I said, not driving like a granny, but adhering to the limits...most of the time.
OOO also, gotta say, after 990miles in 6 days, both the wife and I thought this car was the most comfortable we have owned. Especially good after 2 nights in the worlds most uncomfortable bed in the Ramada in York!!!

I hope you had a really nice time Andy, but unless a lot of it was very twisty, almost 1000 miles adhering to the UK's wonderful speed limits sounds like purgatory to me. Even a metronomic 70 on a motorway could hardly be described as adrenaline pumping. :indifferent:
Please tell me you had a play and maybe even crossed arms at some point :wink:
