2.5 V6 Fuel Consumption
Thought id write a few words about fuel consumption.......I had to travel from Tamworth to Sheffield today, filled the tank up i Tamworth and she was returning an average of 43mpg (if I had continued the drive it would have returned 600+ miles to a full tank)......I thought that was good for a 2.5 V6.......just shows big cars are good on fuel

If the reading was from the IPK then thats about right for a long motorway only run. However if thats a brim to brim method then thats amazing.
On a long run I get the IPK telling me it's about 40 something but in reality it's nearer 38. I'm still happy with that. I get over 450 miles a tank on runs. Also I found you can never trust the petrol gauge on anything but a medium trip. Long trips and it does not drop properly. Short trips it can read to low. Weird.

That is really good going :lol: Do you find your car better at around 55-60mph, as they say thats optimal? I usually drive at 60-70 on the motorways and my Auto usually shows around 40 on the trip computer which would be around 38 true mpg |
