Continental flying spur MPG?

[rbolesworth]

Hi all,
Just getting ready to get a spur but was wondering what sort of MPG to expect?
I've had a couple of ferraris before so am used to 10-15mpg but am I going to get a lot less than this?
Thanks Russell

I get a best of 22 at 70, worst of 7 in London, so expect 12 or so as an average. What is the spec?

Hi there, midnight emerald with magnolia, 2007 car.
What does it do when cruising at 80-90? (theoretically)

20 or just under. The problem is that at constant throttle and driven gently (when I have clients onboard) it returns semi reasonable figures. But the thrust is addictive and you end up hoofing it just for fun, and to show those pesky 911s whose boss

Hi all,

Thanks for the replies, I got my spur on wednesday and had a 120 mile drive home 70% a roads 30% motorway and got 17mpg, took the missus to meadowhall for another 100 mile plus drive 50-50 A road and motorway and got 18mpg both ways.

Admitidly these were decent runs but I was pleasantly suprised by the mpg I got. By the way I dont hang around either (hour and 3 quarters to meadowhall 110 miles at night).

I am sure when I do a bit of town driving this will drop to 12-13 but I can accept that as I drive rarely in busy urban centres.

Really happy with the car, drives great for a big heavy car. I can feel the extra bulk over my bmw 745i (02) but it contains the weight very well indeed. The interior is also just what I was after having had no 'real' luxury car before (bentley or rolls etc).

On a different note, I am going to put a tv tuner on it from scratch as well and was quoted about £2300 from broughtons cheltenham while I was quoted £1300 from bentley leicester! Whats the score there? Anyone done the same thing on theirs?

Cheers russell
