So, I live in Hampshire, and I'm originally from central Scotland

Tonight I'm driving the 398 miles back home for a long weekend.

Scenario is

Cls 3.0 v6 DIESEL

just me ( no kids or wife or their accoutrements)

One bag (not the mother in law)

Route is
Basingstoke to Newbury A339
Onto A34
M40
M42
M6
M74
Glasgow a/b roads
Home.

I tend to sit between 75/80ish

I also don't do any stops.

Can you guess my mpg???
 
Well you had better be careful at those speeds,lots of cameras about hope you have a decent sat nav with the camera positions on it,so not the one fitted to the MB,that said,38mpg,if you were going to keep around 70 then just maybe 40mpg.

I've done this journey more times than I care to remember, I'm up on all the traps [emoji1303]

38mpg ouch
 
There's a massive difference in mpg between doing 70 and 80 mph so I'll say 44mpg.
 
When I had an Audi SQ5 with a 3.0l Bi-Turbo diesel and did long motorway journeys at legal speeds I didn't get much over 38-39MPG. So you will probably get around the same so lets say:

39.3
 
Take the passenger and rear seats out, remove the door cards and drive it in your underpants - should get another mpg! :thumb::crazy::bannana:
