Hey all!

Got myself a set of Continental Sport Contacts 225/45/16 and took them for a road test . For the record, the tyres are superb! Massive improvement on the various type of 215/35/18 i was running. Car is transformed

So much so, that i managed a new record low of 9.60 MPG

Recorded using the Road Trip Lite App. Quite a useful wee tool

Can anyone beat that?

I'm more intrigued as to hoe you fitted 16" tyres to an 18" rim

My highest I got was 44.5 mpg on motorway journey and 13.5 mpg on a really shitty town crawling speeds.

44.5

I managed 300 miles on 3/4 the other week going to Gatwick and back. Usually I'm lucky to see 300 to a full tank.

My top was 36MPG on a motorway run from Bristol to Manchester.

I think my highest is 30

But the only time i get to see open roads, it's VTEC time...

When the traffic cleared up on my old commute during the school holidays I'd end up getting like 22mpg from a tank

when the traffic returned I'd go back up to about 30 mpg

The Prelude is going into work to get it's MOT done tomorrow. I've got so much VTEC to get out my system, I reckon I might top 9.60 mpg
