With a full tank I drove to Wave 105 Live concert yesterday with most of the driving at a speed of 2,500 rpm which was roughly 66 mph. Just refilled the car and it used 14 ltr for 140 miles which I calculate as being around 45 mpg!

Rather a boring drive but next week talking it to the Alps :) I'm expecting fuel economy to suffer rather badly.

Don't recall ever getting better than about 38 out of our one - and that would be on journeys at about 60 at around 2400.

So my money's on the filling station pump cutting out around 2 litres early when you refilled.
 
Roof up or down? 38-45 MPG, Does it matter, still pretty good for a 200BHP roadster :thumb:
 
Possible,small car, big engine - effortless cruizing :)
Well done
