    Normally 25-27 mpg combined. Recently averaged just under 25 on a 2000-ish mile trip to the South of France and back, but this included 90-95 all the way there and back on the autoroutes, and some gentle off-roading while down there.

      I drove the length of France at a steady 140kph, which is somewhere between 85 and 90 mph.

      Worth noting that it had to come back on a tow truck though....

        i cruise almost everywhere at 60 or thereabouts.
        i get roughly 30mpg, although recently its dropped abit which tells me its ready for a little service.
        I dont drive around town so i cant really give a fuel guide for town work.

        if im in a queue of traffic i tend to put it in N rather than D, especially if im pointing slightly downhill, i just let it roll. im not sure it saves me much fuel though.

        im seriously considering a 2nd fuel tank or a bigger one because the range on mine is always 20-50km too short!

            I had very near 90 on the chichester bypass between chi and havant which is a nice smooth ashfelt road, but i bottled out after a mile as she was running
            just under 4000 rpm, Still room under the pedel tho, It just takes a while to get up to speed, I useually run around 60 - 70 on M ways as the fuel goes further, I would gladly swop some top end for a bit more accelleration, I used to worry like f**k about the fuel consumpsion but i've resigned myself to the fact that its just a gasser but worth it

                I managed 103 out of my old 3L V6, 2am on the way back from a gig. it was scary, and pushing the upper limits. I know it's naughty but I had to try it , the missis gave me a big ear bashing too.
