Yep.. our stuff and club stuff.. besides we always take 2 cars.. just this time it's not 4's :) The only way I can travel in the one of the cars with the marquee is with my knees round my ears... didn't fancy that for 6 hours ;D ;D ;D ;D

Post by: madgaz on August 27, 2008, 10:51:17 am: Depending on the speed of the convoy I'll be looking at 55-60mpg 8) Shame it's not the Four :'( but I'll be at the back of the convoy for 3 reasons,
1. I'll be in a BMW :o ;D
2. Slip stream the convoy for higher MPG ;D ;D ;D
3. I'll be following ;)

Title: Re: mpg of a 4 going to JAE
Post by: madgaz on September 01, 2008, 11:45:29 am: Well...having led most of the way (badly :D) I managed 51.3mpg average 8) over a 488 mile round trip.
That includes leaving the car running on the stand for an hour charging Chris's phone and then mine seen as somebody whacked the generator up to 300 volts and setting my mains charger alight ;D :o

Post by: dalewgt4 on September 01, 2008, 04:48:45 pm: most ive done on a tank is 440ish miles.. all at not much boost though bar 2 stints on the geman roads

on back from JAE the 320 out of 3/4 tank was with quite abit of fun involved.. all legal obviously. :) which i didnt think was too bad. shame it was so bloody far away.. mind you, my 164miles wasnt far in comparison to alot of others!

Post by: Steve_666 on September 01, 2008, 06:59:28 pm: I was more worried about my pig skin bonnet hitting the windscreen ;)

Probably used about the same as you then Mark judging by how much fuel you had left at the various stops.
Title: Re: mpg of a 4 going to JAE
Post by: paul_gt4 on September 01, 2008, 08:01:44 pm: yeah 440 was about the best i got in the sainz as well and that was in Germany too, didn't have the faff long enough to see a full tank ffs
Title: Re: mpg of a 4 going to JAE
Post by: salvageman16 on September 01, 2008, 10:03:00 pm: Mine did £120 just on the saturday night :o

Post by: ChrisW on September 02, 2008, 09:11:53 am: Well, Gaz I managed 55.9 over 641 miles. It would have been higher but we had to wait at the Tyne Tunnel during the rush hour lol.

Cheers

Post by: Cee on September 02, 2008, 10:29:24 am: Haven't had a chance to look at mine yet - though it won't have been helped by my satnav lady wanting to take us home via London :o :o :o :o Next time I'm investing in a new map when I can't find the old one!

Oh.. and my rear side tyre blowing on A1 has offfset any fuel saving for coming the Civic, lol

If I never smell petrol again it'll be too soon - I think I inhaled more than any of you used with the gennies sloshing around :)
