Absolutly no kidding.. Trackday on Saturday at Bedford Autodrome 50litres Super Plus (£50.00) and just 70 miles equals 6.36mpg...

I could have cried, I ran out of cash at another 20litres and didn't have my cheque book.

Anybody better this,

My old 2.0ltr Pinto rally car with 2 x twin 45 webbers did better than this..

was somebody slipping a hose in the tank while you were looking the wrong way!!

6mpg, thats fun territory with the LOUD pedal.

But look on the bright side. :) It probably doesnt go through diffs and gearboxes like a RWD escort.

Just trying to cheer you up! ;)

Hah - I know someone who had a 351ci Mustang, and used 22 gallons in less than 100 miles going up the M1 at 140mph. And you feel such a dick when the engine dies...

The redline is a maximum not a minimum ;)

Don't feel too bad, I once got 5mpg at Castle Combe in my turbo mini! Maybe that's why I'm pleased with the Scoob at 25mpg last time I checked it!

70 Miles on 50 Litres. Good effort. I thought 115 miles on a whole tank in MY00 Turbo on a country run was good going.

Maybe Shell UK would like to sponsor a competition...

Who can travel the least distance on a tank of fuel.

I really think we ought to get some kind of tax rebate for driving these cars. We are single handedly keeping the economy going. What do ya say, Gordon?

Try changing into 5th ;)

I'm lucky if I get 5 mpg on track in my RA with it's gearing and heavily footed driver :D:D:D
