Fuel consumption
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  Thumbs Up!

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

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)
