Posted on here few days back that I had a 400 mile round trip to collect a RRC and would be using my dads '98 P38 4.0 V8 with car trailer to collect it.
Asked for approx mpg figures for towing, obviously varies depending on how you drive etc but anything from 9 was quoted!
Well, I've collected the classic and will post more about that later, but the P38 performed fantastically!! As it's my dads car I don't drive it that much and rarely for towing. 200 miles with car trailer mostly motorway and between 50 and 60 mph computer showed average mpg 22!!! 200 miles back with classic on trailer and final average mpg was 18.7 and it towed it with ease, was an absolute pleasure to drive. Checked mpg figures against fuel fill ups and pretty much spot on. Makes me wonder why you'd bother with a diesel!
