MPG Depending on Driving Styles

[Welshy_Pete]

4.55 litres in a UK gallon.  60 / 4.55 = 13.19 gallons. 900 / 13.19 = 68.2 mpg!!  That's comparable with claims for very modern engines which often don't come anywhere close to claimed mpg!!!!

That's amazing what these old cars can do. I reset the mileage counter I filled my car 3 weeks ago 60 litres and just done 900 miles on the mileage clock.

What kind of driving was that? Motoway driving I see more but my driving is 30% country lanes 30% a roads 30% motorway 10% town.

I've done a run before where I did a huge motorway drive and brimmed up before and after and it came in at 69mpg as well so it's easily possible!

The roads I use are 60% 60mph roads, 40% 30mph, 40mph and 50mph.
