Wow i´ve just read another thread on best MPG but surely the best MPG will equate to the worst driving experience! So who has the new best MPG ie the worst ever MPG because I bet that was one of your best drives! Er i´m not sure if I followed that! I´ll start
9mpg on track at Jerez

Ginge !

See worst MPG is the new best...now we are talking, laps of the ring excellent and 60 miles to the tank has got to be a record, anyone work that out in mpg! I can´t!

Scooby - tc thats impressive I got to try harder!

Ginge !

oh forgot to mention ive never had more than 200 miles to a tank daily driving and done a tank of fuel from clacket lane services to dover BP just before the ferry in a convoy with a few evo's and a 700bhp escort cossie on the way to the ring,,,,, done more fuel than all the other cars of which 3 of them where over 500bhp,,,,,, mine is STANDARD engine with a crappy map pmsl

So its not just me that struggles to reach double mpg figures!

This subject is sort of like the drinking culture in the UK. The more pints you can down the more of a man you are.... the worse MPG you get the more of a driver you are.

Didnt read the thread properly, so deleted what I had written

nothing like that at all, just a general conversation than does nothing but pass the time

dont see how using alot of petrol can make you more of a man,,, thats the thread titled
" how many birds have you shagged"
OR
*anyone done more than a 4some"

hope that helps out grumpy man

Couldn't do that in France at the mo. Good work, Scooby TC, sounds like a fun journey!

verdasco1

My point is this... please don´t tell me you are having fun in your scooby or in fact should be allowed to own one if you are getting 25mpg! I read in a mag that someone got 6 mpg out of a spec c... he must have shagged countless women and no doubt be a driving god!

it was crazy and i'd never do anything like that again.We had a booking on a ferry but got held up in a monster jam in Holland for over an hour.3 other cars in our group didnt make it and had to wait 4 hours for the next boat and pay an additional premium.It wasnt big or clever and certainly nothing to boast about but in the interests of this thread i thought i'd post

verdasco1

Sorry tc but I beg to differ... it was big and is was clever and you are boasting! you had no choice it was an emergency.

My brother has a VW Toureg 4.6 V8 out in America - he's averaging 13MPG at the moment on his normal daily commute (mostly motorway miles).

Luckily fuel costs him $1.80 a gallon.. but still.

As for me, dunno - probably about 25MPG.

verdasco1

He must be an indycar driver!

last 3 years comming back from the ring we done the exact same thing, one year was to get the EARLIER ferry,,,,, we JUST made it but france was a blur and we left someone behind and had to wave to them from the ferry ( fiesta turbos aint great over 100mph for long distance and he wouldnt attempt to do over 130 as he was a VERY sensible person,,,, though he never mentioned it when he asked to join the convoy so we first of all slowed down for him to catch up,,,,,,, which held us up more hence the 1 hour high speed pursuit through france

this year we took 3 different routes and done a top gear challenge to see what was the quickest route,,,,, but no more that 100mph was the rules,,,,,, but we ALL cheated as we all hit traffic,,,,, anoying more being in a 650bhp evo 8 and comming in last,,,, by 45 mins aswell meaning everyone missed the ferry as they waited for us to be nice which was even worse

strangely enough we were on our way back from the ring also

Ginge !

iTrader: (1)

we all know that speeding through france is legal if you dont live there,,,, belgium im not so sure about though as been told over 120 and they take your car,,,,,, so we stick at the 120 limit pmsl

I like this thread makes a change from the "i can get 25mpg if my wifes catches the bus home(weight saving) and i push the car up the drive!" threads.

I must have a good car then, as I got about 250miles out of the tank and I was doing 140mph on the unrestricted german autobahns last week travelling home from Austria!
