Question

Only getting 18-19 to the gallon. This seems really bad.
What is everyone else getting?

Thanks

Talking

Probably about that if I do short journeys or go enthusiastically across country. Low 30s on a gentle cruise at legal (ish) speeds on the motorway. Probably 23-24 on average. The way I look at it I've got >280bhp, say 24 to the gallon. There aren't many cars with >140bhp that do >45 to the gallon, so my car is actually fairly efficient!
