Fuel economy issue?

Paul, you do know you've got a 5th and 6th gear

As a matter of interest what sort of milage does Mrs P manage in it?

Stu.

It's a 2.5 remember Stu!

She doesn't drive it enough to measure really but that's a good idea and will trial it. As a general rule with previous cars and the X3, about 50% more than I get

Had the lovely Laura in the passenger seat, slow cruise up to Posbank for a walk around then back.

Ah ha, I see sir. In that case would it not have been an opportune moment for you and the lovely Laura to have car troubles

Haha i reminded her of that. I said 'last time we were coming back from somewhere this car went 'ker-plupp' '. So it was quite a moment as we both looked at each other while i turned the ignition. The tension was palpable.

I get mid to high 30's mpg from mine on a semi hoon run with a bit of sports button action, I have had 42 mpg from it in the past, in nun mode. As long as your having fun Paul, that's all that matters, are you having fun??

Always having fun Fred We both know it needs a bigger engine Fred, something like a 35i maybe Im now getting worried that we'll have to plan our trip to the Alps around my fuel stops or get Smartbear to tow a bowser for me. Obviously Stupot's boot is going to be full of all the stuff the Bear and I can't fit in our tiny boots

Sorry Fellas - I'm saving my boot space for a couple of immigrants with a fist full of Euro's

Hang on a minute, we'll be the immigrants!

To be boring, I reset mine when i got it 1st Sept this year, covered about 2.5k miles since then. Mostly daily 10mile commute, about 1/3 town rest dual carriage way with a few 500mile round trips and some 'spirited' weekend visits to the moors. Spend the majority of the time in normal apart from the moors visits, sit somewhat higher that i should on dual carriageways and motorways and mainly have the roof down. 3.5 degrees this morning, new record.

Long and short of it, i'm averaging a whisker below 30mpg. Running standard 17" run flats.

Hope that wall of text helps

It does thanks. I think mine is probably running about right for a 2.5

Ours always hovers around the 30mpg mark as well
