I just filled SWMBOd car up it took 34 litres the trip computer says that will get her 350 miles . I filled mine up yesterday 95 litres the trip computer said I should be good for about 400 miles - Fuel Consumption isn't everything Geoff |

The best way to get better gas mileage is simple. As soon as you find a good hill to coast down reset the consumption computer. I've gotten over 37 MPG. At the bottom of the hill look at something else. If feels so good to be in such a heavy powerful capable vehicle that can get nearly 40 mpgs! |

I have an 2006 SC FF so I consider double digits as something good. One day I will have control of my right foot |

I have to say, the consumption doesn’t really bother me as much as the range! Mine if doing a LONG trip will easily top 650 miles between fill ups! Thats at high motorway speeds! Thats my importance Geoff |

Yep, I miss the 600 mile plus range I got with my diesel, but I don't miss anything else Geoff |

On a france run I reckon I would get about 450-490 out of the 3.6, given that the indicated average was 25ish and at the moment I seem to get 32 out of the 4.4 on a run then an extra few miles would seem possible! There is nothing that can't be fixed with a hammer😜😜

I had a 3.6 with a Blufin remap and 600 miles plus after a fill up with dirty diesel. Lucky to get 400 now with petrol and a 5.0L Supercharged - driving within speed limits at all times, acceleration is a different matter Geoff |
