I do roughly 200 miles a week (some times a little more, sometimes less). I tend not to break speed limits much, and never more than 85 on the Motorways, and tend to get my jollies more through rocketship through the gears accelerating. I find that normally getting 26-28mpg, and weeks where I have lots of motorways I get 30-32mpg. Normally when I've been driving closer to 80 than 60mph. Which I found strange. Also I tend to find I get marginally lower boost, but a lot better MPG if I use Premium (95 RON) instead of Super (97 RON), Ultimate (97RON in the UK), or Optimax (98 RON). -- The poster formerly known as Skodapilot. http://www.bouncing-czechs.com
