After relising that my front tyres don't work in the wet I took it steady and managed 37.4 mpg. All A-roads 20miles.

30-32 over a 7 mile stretch.  Steady 70-75 in traffic.  36.7 at similar speeds on a long run to Northampton (SteveP) verified.  Can't go faster than the traffic flow.

12.5miles each way. Never less than 29mpg, been consistently at 34mpg of late with a couple of stretches giving it beans on the Turbo.

In the winter, it's a different story  :scared:
