Good result! (MPG)

[BUSHWHACKER]

Just been working out my mpg for the 3rd gen truck (standard 2.7 16v petrol)
from my trip up to Chester and back to collect the new wheels/tyres. It was using 'A' roads (A49 most of the way)with a sprinkling of 'B' and 'C' country lanes. I had Craig with me so there was no 'spirited' driving and the results are.......


Fuel Cost :
£40

Distance travelled :
490.83 km
305 miles

Fuel Amount :
41 litres
9.02 gallons

Cost of Fuel:

33.82 miles per gallon

Mileage Costs
8.1495 pence per km
13.11 pence per mile

Excellent.

The manual does.
But I still would have an auto if I didn't need to drag the toy around.
