Re: Proper mpg
Not bad considering it did 0-150 seventy times plus a few laps of the Alpine course.....

Re: Proper mpg
It wasn't for 199 miles. My commute is only a few miles. Lot of idling and a bit of a blast. Expensive journey nevertheless.

Re: Proper mpg
Obviously!
Whats the fewest miles on the trip you've seen after filling up out of interest? Mine was something like 195 miles, fuel light came on as I was approaching a Shell, worked out as something like 15-16 mpg for the tank. Was the tank immediately after I'd had the Milltek swapped from res to non-res and fitted Goodyear Asymmetrics. No coincidence! I was driving around with the windows down in March!

Re: Proper mpg
I have the widows down all the time in mine. Love hearing the exhaust.
My average is 15mpg at the moment. I fill up a lot, no idea how many miles I get out of a tank.
