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:

Telford to Crewe via country lanes. I'd only had the car about 24hrs at this point

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:
