During Wednesday.

Car is 30 months old & 16,000 miles.

Engine done 11,000 since rebuild.

running on, 5 w 30 Mobile 1 & Tesco Momentum.

205/40/17 Dunlop tyres.

1.5 Degree celsius ambient in the middle of the night & starting with a full tank.

(No spare wheel,tools or rear weights carried, so 40kg or so lighter in the ass..)

after 10 minutes the oil was at 86 o*C (it kept showing that temp, never reached 90 o*C)

Ambient temp was up to 3 o*C after 30 miles, then mostly 7 o*C during the journey.

Lights on and no A/C and beautiful dry smooth roads.

Average MPG's showed at a constant speed over a few miles on the flat..

50mph , 61.9 MPG

60mph 53.3 MPG

70mpg 42.2 MPG

& sometimes 25 - 35 MPG

So 100 miles of 60mph speed limit & 350miles of 70 mph limit, no traffic.

driving solo and 45 MPG of petrol actually used.

No oil used.

Suits me sir.

bang on what its supposed to do George

What speeds gave 25-35?

One example would be,

0-40 or 50 mph before the Coolant has warmed & the oil has reached 50*oC.

Another can be on the Motorway when the road is more uphill than down.

Is that what you mean?

And what other car can do that and take 2 flat pack wardrobes to 60mph in around 7secs (estate that is).
