You should be doing anywhere between 25 & 30mpgs on everyday non-Vtec driving and low 20's with Vtec. I think Nitwit's being a little bit dreamy thinking he was getting +45mpgs ;-)

On the motorway I did get to Birmingham (110miles from my house) using only around 15 litres of fuel. That is around ~33mpg. How is that 45MPG?

Because...
nitin_s1 wrote:I used this google map thing to work out my route from my house in London to Birmingham, this was 110 Miles away. This was £14.70 on the google calculator thing and I used about ~£15 so it's pretty accurate. :geek:
And £15 worth of fuel is different to £15 of fuel ;-)

EDIT: I worked out 110 miles using £15 worth of fuel at a rough 137p per litre to be 45.67mpg
Where as 110 miles using 15 litres at 137p per litre is 33.34mpg, which is much more like it for casual motorway driving ;-)
