- '62 C63 PPP Saloon. Red. V5 Map. Remus exhaust. 181mph at Vmax stealth
I am going to take a drive from Bournemouth to Balloch to see my folks this weekend. It's circa 480 miles and I did it in the pre-facelift C63 a couple of years back. The result was 34mpg average at 70mph and I did it on one complete tank........ just! That car was mapped (V4 about 520) and was a saloon PPP car on oem tyres.
The current car is a facelift. Also a PPP saloon with a V5 map and a Remus exhaust circa 530bhp. The only negative is the tyres. Rears are 275 width MPSS so I'm expecting a little bit of extra drag over the oem 255 Conti 5Ps.
My daily commute is around 22-23mpg at the moment and I do 15 miles each way.
I'm not pennypinching at all so please don't tell me I have the wrong car if i want good economy. I'm simply playing a game between myself and the car.
Writing simply yes or no and a little note as to why, do you think I'll do it on one tank? I assure you I'll only fill up if i run out / am looking at not making it and will start with a brim full tank of tesco momentum. I'll try to post regular updates too.
