Hi Dave. Can I just say that your mpg figure is very dependant on many things, especially tyres. At the.moment there are four Avon Z5 tyres on my KV6. They are not very good for mpg. The rating given to them is lower than the Goodyear Efficientgrip Performance that are on my diesel. My diesel, when there are four people and a full boot aboard when we go to France/Germany, and cruise around 80mph, we get over 50 mpg, every time, not just a one off. Just driving the short distances to the shops and visiting friends /relatives, I get around 44/46 mpg. The figures for touring on the continent are over anything between 1,000- 2200 miles so a good pointer what can be achieved using your left foot lightly.
