Depends on the conditions, amount of bends, inclines, whether running late, lead boot on right foot, etc...... Looking at around mid 20's at best.

I'm glad other cars have such a low mpg.
My MY99 turbo uses about £10 unleaded every other day, i only live 8 miles from where i work, saying that i do rag it all the way.

havnt worked it out in MPG yet but I recon it costs about 19p per mile. I get about 100 - 110 miles to £20. Can expect 250ish miles to a full tank. Thats driving a mixture of Very hard and normal. (MY99)

I normally get around 31.5 MPG using air con. on a motorway. Sticking around 80 to 90 MPH.

Can get much lower than this around town!

MY99 - averages out at 24.5, up the motorway 160 miles I've had max of 28, round the lanes to and from work 20-22.

Never more than 260 on a tank

I get about 220 miles when it hits the top of empty but I think its always advisable to have a petrol taker follow you everywhere mybee one of those flyin jobbies.
