Never thought it was possible
I actually manged to get over 30 mpg out of my scoob today
Filled my car up to the top, drove to Birmingham and back, between 75-85 mph all the way, stayed off boost the whole time. When i came back i'd done 202 miles when i filled back up which took 29.2 liters. Works out at 31 MPG.
But i would love to know how PS lewis reckons he can get 40+mpg out of his car don't think i could of drove any more steady

Had mine 6 months now and yet to do a decent long run to find out what I get but I fill up, set to zero and check regularly consumption and even on a tank taking easy the best I get is 23 mpg, undoubtedly a run would better it but PS Lewis is a dreamer

Thats about what i normally get low 20's, thought it was going to take a full tank to go to Birmingham and back, was well please with doing in half a tank.
Good job i was taking it easy as i went passed 2 speed camera vans.

I got nearly 340 miles out of a tank full last year.
Most was on the way back from santa pod, we did 75-80 all the way back, got home and still had a 1/4 tank this took me up to just under the 340 mark. Noit sure what that equates to but i was bloody happy!!!!!!
