Those of a nervous disposition.........
......................................... look away now.
Pooky Bear done a round trip of 410 miles today and we got 16 mpg. Most of the time we managed to keep to Warp Factor 3 and a bit where applicable. Left home at 6am and was parked up at Brooklands by 09.30 and we had one stop at Fleet services. Return trip was slightly longer as we got held up at Stonehenge, again. Why people must slow down, then lean out of there vehicle windows to take photo’s, baffles me. 4 hours home with one stop. The Bear never missed a beat, ran sweet as a nut.

Nice, about £150 worth of juice then
Sort of reminds me when I was driving a Marina TC as a daily, which did about 22MPG on a run Enjoyment cannot be measured in pecuniary terms, just as well really Brian |

I'm spending more on parts per month than fuel at the moment

Glad you had a safe journey home, it was nice to catch up at Brooklands. 16 mpg is tough, but I'll bet you were smiling all the way (except past Stone Henge perhaps!).

We used to have an Impreza WRX with a Prodive pack fitted and that would do around 18mpg when driven ‘properly’ so, all in all, 16mpg for the Bear ain’t that bad Bob
Think of it as 16spg rather than 16mpg
