I'll have to try that & see how much I get out of a full tankupstart said:Hi Bekahb,the answer is yes and no. I obey the indicator on the flat but ignore it when climbing hills,usually 500 rpm + Also I find on longer runs 2500 rpm in top gear seems to be the most economical speed. It took me 6 tanks of fuel to find the most economical style,the last 2 tanks have been 70 mpg+ so must be doing something right!!
clowesa said:Wow, that's tons better than mine. I filled up this morning, 365 miles-30.10 litres = 55.14mpg.
My commute's about the same distance, mainly dual carriageway but a fair bit of stop/starting at 8 sets of traffic lights and 6 roundabouts. I've got BMT too which is supposed to make it even more fuel efficient so slightly disappointing figures TBH![]()

think standard engine and cruse control might be a better option
That makes sense. They do say the 0-60mph times and top speed also vary between cars which are nominally the same. I suggest you keep your Up till it dies a natural death.upstart said:My husband has 2 identical motorcycles both of which he has rebuilt from the ground up, one is always 10-15 mpg better than the other for no logical reason. I am lucky to have a good car!![]()

I get 55 mpg going out on my 8 mile commute with hills and stop start about 49 on the way home and about 70 on the motorway visit to the outlaws on Sunday doing about 65 with cruise control on. But I'm happy with that it's better than my Polo which hardly broke 40mpg!!
