Got 32mpg travelling at the speed limit (okay, maybe a bit higher!). Quite pleased with that, given I've only done 240 miles and the engine's still 'tight'....best. John W.

I've found (& I hope that you will as well) that keeping at a steady speed is a much, much more economic way of making progress than upto 85 mph, down to 65mph, back upto 85 mph. It's just that motorway traffic doesn't usually let us cruise at a constant speed for a reasonable ditance.
