If you are off boost at motorway speeds ( legal motorway speeds) around 30mpg. Start booting it around town then probably around half that.

I just got my best economy yet (only had car bout 5 weeks) just over 200 miles on a full tank worked out at 24.97 mpg. Mine is more or less standard except exhaust (cat back and induction kit). Wish I could get 30mpg

A road and motorway, driving sensibly between 75-90 most of the time with the occasional 'minor indiscretion'

300bhp and 290ft/lb

Minimum of 26mpg (over 30 mpg on a run) at well over your 300bhp target.

Thanks to Bob R and his exceptional mapping talents

I was expecting the mpg to be a lot less than what you guys have stated. My last car work out a poor 22 MPG around town and Motorway most I ever got was around 32MPG . Shocking!!
