Bonus feature - 25.1 mpg (or 5.5mpl?) over 400 miles mostly motorway and A roads although some town driving and half hour queing to get out of chatsworth house on Sunday.

Not quite the 30mpg quoted on the shell top trumps card but I'm pleased with that - and its due for its 6000mile service next week, so may get a little better?

edited cos I can't do metric - thanks VYT

I only picked my T350C up on Friday and was expecting 'high-teens' for MPG. I did a fair few miles over the weekend (city, A-roads and motorway) to get the car home but noticed that I wasn't filling up as much as I thought I would be. Don't know the MPG I did do but as I was getting a feel for the car I didn't tend to go over a certain amount of revs - boring i know but I didn't want to go mad on my first weekend (much ).

Point being that I was surprised that I could treat this car like my VR6 (in terms of petrol consumption/every day use) and then turn on the performance as and when I wanted it. Awesome.

Picked up my t350c a week and a half ago, drove last monday over to Italy with it, average the whole way was 28mpg!! and I wasn't exactly hagging around!! av sp (not inc stops) 100mph! Did the same with the Tuscan the week before but in the other direction and went via Germany, I was between 110 and 120mph all the way across and still averaged 27mpg!! these cars do better mpg at higher speeds as when I was in the uk, i only averaged 26mpg!

I too have noticed how (reletively) fruegel the Tamora is, compared to the Chim 450, I know it's a larger tank, but it is still way better than the V8 engine,
