Fuel Consumption?

[neil.b]

Anyone worked out what kind of mileage you can expect from a full tank?

Just measured mine from the last fill up and I got about 185 miles from 40 litres of fuel which makes it about 21 miles to the gallon (I think). This was split between the daily drive to work and a 90 miles motorway trip today. Does that sound about right?

They reason I ask is that TVR Power said that the Lambda sensor on my car is a bit out of whack and might need sorting. Just wondered if its having an effect on consumption.....

And I'm wondering how far I can go between fuel stops for Eurohoon

Sounds about what I get from mine.
I use to get about 200 miles on a tank in the griff, but don't know whether the tanks are the same size.
Mind you, now that the revs are being able to be used more, I am sure that that figure will drop

I get 150 miles from 43 litres ... but that's mostly around Milton Keynes and mine only has the two throttle positions ... up and down.

I have been (rightly?) accused of driving like a granny but I got 27mpg from the T350 on the last club run and generally see 23 - 24 on the Exeter - Paignton run. Still running the beasty in, mostly drive around below 3k on a light throttle .

I've seen anything from about 15mpg upto 29mpg in mine. It all depends on what you're doing. I usually fill up every 200 miles or when the car indicates that I have 10 litres or so left.

Aberdeen to Newcastle, and managed 27 MPG in the T350. Fast driving, but not over the speed limit as so many speed cameras on the way.!

Yep,

having the paintwork (laquer coat) sorted out as its not right around the leading edge on the bonnet. Hope it was being well looked after !! Also having a few minor bits n pieces sorted but nothing too major. Just had the 1K service and I'm hoping to get it back on Friday...... (yes....my plate starts with 'X' !!)

Looked like they were testing the handbrake when I saw it. Just guessing, can't see any other reason they'd be doing handbrake turns in the car park.....

Thank god for that ! You can never be too careful with safety............glad to see they took the initiative on that one.

God bless them all
