I must be getting old!! 172 Mpg related.

Well the other day I had to do a 200mile round trip on the motorway from Dover to Sunbury.
Well not being in a crazy rush to head home I decided to just see how many mpg I could get out of my 172.
Got a average of 51.7mpg on the way home.
Am I sad or what??

Manchester to Anglesey and back for CS fest 👍

Practically a diesel.

They're surprisingly efficient for 20+ year old tech.

Probably give a lot of modern stuff a run for their money.

Best I got in my 182 was 48mpg. That was non stop from Warrington to Maidstone, so 200+ miles, but was loaded up with gear to camp at Le Mans.

As long as you don’t beast the poor thing they can return good numbers! Poxy hills drag the numbers down though.

They're actually amazing little things.

I don't know what 20mpg looks like anymore!

£30 gets me 85 miles 😆

Good effort 👏
My last one did similar.

With a fucked lambda.
