Driven down from Scotland (Perthshire) to Kent (486 miles) and the DIS is showing 29.0mpg with an average speed of 66mph ....not bad for 400bhp...

Yeah, so how often and for how long did your engine make 400bhp on that trip?

On an easy run we all have the same 2.7 litre low compression engine, no matter what turbos we have fitted!
