Fuel consumption. Not too bad huh?

The other day I set off in the early hours for a trip to France. The run from Norfolk to Poole was done in light traffic.

As you can see I managed to average 70mph, and that included the non-motorway bits at both ends and the 50mph section of the M25 so you can see that I wasn't exactly pootling.

And yet got a good 31+ mpg

With the price of premium unleaded every little helps (To coin a phrase)

That's not bad at all. I'm only averaging 36mpg in the Mini.

if you averaged 70mph then someone was speeding at some points anything below 70mph would bring the average down.

maybe he detoured via the auto barnes to get his average mph up haha

Auto Barne? Where's that?

I tried to maintain a steady 80-85 mph indicated on the Motorway sections (M25 SPECS monitored zone apart). Several hours at that speed does push the average up quite nicely and gives you a bit of a cushion for when you drop off the fast roads and thread your way through the back streets of Poole headed for the ferry terminal
