We are off to sunny Devon for the week end!!!! A friend of mine as been kind enough to let us stay with his good lady and self FOC!!!!

Setting off early so it will be interesting to see how she (the 75) is on fuel on such a long run.

You should get a lot of MPG's if you take it steady

I find that short trips around town are very heavy on fuel

Motorway's are very good MPG, have had about 70 MPG on the motorway

Just had a full service done with new plugs, oil etc am hoping to get more MPG now, only time will show

My 75 is the v6 2.5 automatic

Money is tight since Sue lost her job, so I'm hoping there is lots of hills to roll down

Service will make a differance to your MPG. Nice combination V6 and auto
