Bloody hell, that's much better! Here I am trundling at 65mph. What were you doing to get 500miles!?

They're not bad if you're careful. Mine got just under 40mpg on a 200 mile run to Devon at 70.

But we didn't buy these to be economical  :driver:

The best way to get a crazy figure is to take her to 140mph and then stick her in neutral - then reset your mpg on the trip computer and let her coast to a new world record low mpg  :signLOL:
