Wow that's really Heavy on fuel .... 80 miles on £30
I do about 90 miles a day .... That can't be right surely .... That's about 14mpg
Almost as bad as my very modded Roush Cougar .
My ZT is returning currently 32mpg .

I do carry allot of tools and stuff , so that's why it's a little low. Honestly when it gets low I fill it. The exact mileage might be higher than what I said.

Might have considered a swap as my first 75 was a Zircon Silver, problem is my current car is a 2.5, but it can achieve between 30 & 39 mpg on longer journeys, so I think I'll stick with mine, it may be a Moonstone but IMHO it's the second best colour to Zircon.

(No I'm not colour blind, just enjoy unusual variations of basic colours).

All I can say is that from Bentley to Cardigan and back would cost me just under £50.00 in my 2.0 V6. I worked this out as I know it cost me about £23.00 to go from Southampton to Weymouth and back.
And on £80.00 I get on average +/- 150 miles around town doing short trips.

NB. This is at current Super-unleaded fuel prices.
