Fuel Crisis - 39MPG+
#1
Having driven like a nanny whilst the fuel crisis was on, have now managed to fill up, and having done 182 miles, could only get just under 21 litres in the tank - this equates to over 39mpg!! Granted, car never saw over 2500 rpm, but 39MPG!!! - not bad with c280BHP!!
Proves how badly the car is normally driven - but how much more fun I normally have

Gary,
I've found better mpg also! I think the fuel shortage has taught me to drive more economically on roads. I'll save my thrashing for track days from now one
Thanks
Sonu

Gary - are you sure you weren't riding a bicycle ?????? With your mods, you should be getting about 9 mpg!!!!!
Seriuosly though, are you running on SUL ? If so, where are you getting it ?

I drove back from Scotland last Tuesday (500 miles)and averaged 33mpg which I considered stunning, up from the usual 25. Had to travel at 75mph though and be passed by vans,robin reliants,renualts 5's and every other sad car on the road.

Tony - I have had 9mpg before - no joke, but big fun No SUL that I've found, but with over half a tank of SUL still in, plus 21 litres of NUL and a bottle of Octane booster...that'll do!!
Hunty - it was killing me every minute if that helps!!

I sincerely hope i never-ever manage 39mpg in my Scooby.
Yes, i know there was a fuel shortage, thats why God invented plastic petrol/jerry cans.
P.S. How many miles do you get out of your tyres and brakes? - no,no i realy do not want to know.
