David Alexander Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Excellent weather this afternoon, so despite starting out in the rain this morning, my trip back from Swindon to Birmingham was a blast. But fuel consumption was a bit alarming. About 120 miles from one tank driving a 1800 Sport. Does this sound about right? David A Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enterpryse Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Sounds OK to me Try not to think too much about it. I fill up about every 80 miles and manage to squeeze about 18-20L in (short range tank of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Stanton Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 Yep Try driving it a bit harder and you can get much less Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Major Stare Posted December 16, 2004 Share Posted December 16, 2004 You have to drive quick in Birmingham, preferably above 30mph, as they'll knick you wheels if you go any slower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
