Just back from 2 weeks in Cornwall, it's a 650 mile round trip before even going anywhere so we took the FF as it hardly ever gets a good run. My current usage profile is lots of very short, local runs so my fuel consumption is really poor, whatever I am driving.

Concur with the above. I only do between 5000 & 6000 miles per annum so don't sweat too much about the consumption! Still grimace when filling up from empty though! Previous cars:

Sounds good. I leave for the Czech Republic Friday afternoon so interested to see what mpg I get. It's always nice to get good mpg in a car like this. I got 28.8mpg in my M5 on a trip down to the Nurburgring which I was very pleased with.

Having seen how low I can get mine when giving it the beans, I'm guessing it'd do somewhere between 1 and 3mpg if you got it on the track. 2002 4.6 Vogue SE - Alveston Red with Lightstone Leather

For once I looked at the lpg consumption, with this forum in mind. Just did Perigueux/Lyon and back. Quite a few steep parts on this mainly good a and B roads. Got an average of 17.6 mpg on 1060 km on LPG. When possible I cruised around 80/90 mls p/h. So I was in fact quite happy. Moneywise there is not a big difference between my wife's 2.8 turbo diesel Voyager and my 4.4 RR and I really prefer the RR. |

Having petrol V8's for many years I never worried about mpg, the last few long runs with the family in the FF mpg was showing 22.5,mixed A , B and moterway roads, on my commute the lowest has only been 14.3, and thats on B roads.

No idea as never reset it for a lap, just an overall consumption figure of the drive there, 15 laps, a track day at Spa and then home again would average out at about 18mpg. Probably get around 9mpg on a lap I would have thought cheers Alex 2018 Skoda Kodiaq vRS 2009 Caterham Supersport Race car 2007 M5 Touring 2005 Range Rover Vogue SE Supercharged 2004 SL55 AMG |

NOT in a petrol V8 you can't. To get that, I'd have to have it on the back of a lorry. |
