Blimey! That's quite a range!

For what it's worth, my standard R1 engine in a lightish (520kg including me and 50 litres of fuel) car was returning 0.544 litres/minute at pace.

I'd therefore say that (in a car that weighs around 100kg more with a big banger engine) 0.7 is much nearer the mark - although, for not entirely altrusitic reasons, I'd love someone to come up with some hard data.

No idea I'm afraid. We've been moaning about our steering wheel instruments telling us the fuel level was at 98% all the time. Turns out it's a low level warning, not a guage.

Bunch of dimwits we are!

As innaccurate as it was, I miss that warning light; no indication whatsoever on the new SR3 RS weeping

Blimey Barry sure you were getting full throttle! Would of guessed quite a bit more than that to be honest.......

By way of comparison the new 1340cc PR6 used 0.78ltr per min at Mallory at the weekend.
