Incidentally I've just been to St. Ives and back (a 50 mile journey), along the 40 mph roadworks. I reset the trip computer before I left and the MPG crept up to an indicated 72.4 at its best, but trafic conditions meant that it was back down to 68.9 by the time I got home. Clearly it's not actually achieving those figures, but it's definitely well over 60 and that appears to be to goal that everyone's trying to get to, so the old Rover's doing alright!

The R75 cruise system does NOT apply the brakes. |
