Like you, an SDV8 and like you I get high 30s on a long motorway type run and mid 20s - low 30s bumbling about. Tank range is around 500 miles of mixed driving. |

SDV8 and I get around 32-33 at most on a long motorway run and just under 30 on average. That’s according to the fuel computer though, which is one of the least accurate of any car I’ve had, so 33mpg is only a fraction over 30mpg.

If you really want to know what your car's mpg is, then download a free app, I use "RoadTrip MPG Lite". Very simple to use.

I do not wish to know the true consumption figures for mine there are some occasions where ignorance is bliss |

Absolutely. I bought my SDV8 for the comfort (for touring) and not for the fuel economy. Having previously owned some very thirsty cars I am actually quite happy with the mileage I get from a full-tank on mine Current Vogue SE 4.4 SDV8 Previous highlights Many Mini's!

I changed from a 5.0L supercharged petrol to a 4.4 SDV8 because I didn't like keep filling her up - it was a nuisance - now I only go once a week
