Trip from my mum's house in Liverpool
- door to door - to my house in surrey

Non-stop at 70 on the motorway with the cruise
control - was 5am start on a Sunday so no
traffic

Not much wind either - but still impressive

Overall average in 10000 miles is 29.4

What is the Brim to Brim calculation?? The OBC is variable to say the least!

Hardly surprising when they do 70 MPH at 1450 RPM that helps along with an eight speed gearbox.

Does it include a crawler gear for the funerals?

I want to steal your engine and gearbox and shove them in my classic.

Haven't quite got my 3.6 up that high - best so far was 35.5 according to the on-board (West Wales back to about Swindon area) before there was a pile-up on a Sunday afternoon and was very slow stop-start. After that my right foot turned to lead and it dropped to about 28 by the time I got back home in Surrey.
