Just recently got back from a week's holiday up along the North-eastern coast - Newcastle all the way up to the Scottish border.
Just shy of 1000 miles in total, and averaged 32.7mpg for the whole trip, which with 3 adults and a seriously full boot was good going  Current

Averaging 27mpg. 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster

Off to Spain in the Morning via Portsmouth - Santander

Where last time, I delivered our 1.9TDIe Audi A3. That got us from Manchester to Javea, via London and Portsmouth - Bilabo for around £60 of diesel

I think we may be running into £150-£180 this time

Who cares, it will be worth it.........

^^ no idea how you are getting 20+ mpg from the Ford SC 5.0 V8.....you must be near 100% highway. Typical is 15mpg range

If you ever wondered why our gallons are different sizes, the US uses a Queen Anne wine gallon as their measure, and the UK uses a beer gallon as our measure. Back in ye olden days a gallon varied in size based on how strong the drink was.

Back in 1824 the UK realised that this was a dumb idea, and adopted a standard gallon. The US decided to skip that round off common sense.

i did not know that  ... - .- -.

Still around the 27 mark in my Td6.

Just seen the above post with the fancy app for consumption. I must be getting old, I worked mine out old style, with a pencil on the back of a fag packet, it's an old engineers trick

Thats how I used to do mine. But gave up Smoking !

1 and a half weeks into my 4.4 sdv8 ownership and current average is about 29mpg but has been a lot of short runs and stop starts. Very impressed upto now . The one longish run I did on the motorway returned 38.4 mpg  Paul

ooopppsss, guilty again, sorry Stan, I also put a post about free brake discs in the wrong section now giving myself a stern talking to. Well, one of my personalities is anyway

5.0 S/C Autobiograpy. 14mpg SW London drag, 32mpg motorway run. Don't use it much locally.

I kept it to 70mph max and there was quite a bit of traffic, but when I drove back from Manchester on Friday it managed 40.3mpg. Shows what it can achieve when you don't press on, although if it was accurately calculated it would be c37.5-38mpg. Still pretty good and a lot better than normal. MY23 Panamera E-Hybrid

TDV6 averages 35mpg on the daily commute - pretty good I think. 2015 3.0 TDV6 Autobiography in Santorini Black with black-pack
