Title: Fuel consumption
Post by LSG 1 on 21. Dec 2009 at 19:30
Was pretty pleased today, Saab showed on the SID that it was averaging 33.5 MPG this was A roads, motorway and town driving when SAAB's figures show that Combined fuel consumption should be 27 MPG, was well chuffed with that  :y

Even more chuffed that my van had been returning 63 MPG with mostly town driving and I've not been driving lightly either  :y :y :y

I don't understand what you are saying? Is there another way to drive?


(actually, my mpg killer is every thingy is now driving at 30mph - until auto locks up at 50mph, mpg suffers)
