It never ceases to amaze me...

...just what my 172 Cup is capable of.

Stayed over at the NEC for the last two days as we were exhibiting, drove there and back in the Cup, 170 miles each way.

A34 was a nightmare, two contra-flows, with 2-4 miles of queueing on each of them in both directions.

Trip computer was reset before the journey.

Now reads 43.7 mpg

good going mate!

what's the mileage now Mark? you're over 60k now right iirc?

 

[MarkCup]

8 miles from home, I clicked over to 78,000.

 

[fUbAr]

good effort, the most ive had (for the same journey actually) but with no roadworks is 46mpg

A34 is a b**ch!u wanna try living just next to it!:dapprove:

I suppose there is the other 300+ days of the year to make up for it though

i was getting 35.9 on the way home last nte in me 182 Cup... My car does have a K&N on it though so im guessing that will make a difference as well.... not as good mpg like

 

[Chris n nic]

what speed m8. I was going down to the FCS a few years back. At 80 the mpg is miles better than at 90 (obviously) as it is coming on cam around then...I suppose it is similar to driving a turbo car on boost all the time
