Never 1 for bothering about MPG on a 560bhp car but seems like the car now broken in can achieve reasonable MPG.
Done the same trip last year with 8000 less miles and I was lucky if I was averaging 21mph.
Edinburgh-Cairnryan approx 120mile motorway, road works and a roads.

I have 5000 miles and was getting 26 averaging 80-90 which I was pleased with. A bit of a road as well. I would be lucky to get 17 mpg out of the V10

I get 21mpg gunning it everywhere or 29mpg keeping at or below speed limits. This is based upon my normal commuter of 50 minutes which is a mix of motorway and town driving.

I managed a ludicrous 32mpg coming back from Harrogate to Glos last week - busy traffic but pushed on when we could (me, the wife, the dog, a spare wheel and lots of luggage). Defies the laws of physics

I get 31.4 on the occasional trip to reading see below, bearing in mind that's over an hour driving, very good!

Well I am lucky to see 22-23mpg so appear to have been afflicted with leadfoot.
Lets have a few shots of the long term numbers to see how it looks over a longer period ?
Mine has just hit 8000 miles and is around 20 mpg long term.

Just looked at long term! Not so impressive as the 29mpg I was getting yesterday! To be fair my wife drives it 90% if the time doing school run and when I'm out it for a blast

Let's see your best long term MPG !!

21 mph average, now that is depressing! He says, going to check his own quickly!
