I must have filled up around 3 times before I realised my mistake. Looking back on it an easy mistake to make. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BilboJ Posted May 31 Share Posted May 31 I've had my 2007 2.4l Alphy for a couple of months. I'm tracking the MPG and I'm getting somewhere around 27 for mixed driving. On a longish run along the A303 recently (about 180 miles total) I got aover 29 mpg which I'm well chuffed with. That was driving between 65 and 70.

Alpha Hydrae Posted June 8 Share Posted June 8 Just done a 900 mile camping trip to Scotland from Manchester. 4 passengers, pets, bikes, paddleboards, 1 week's food supplies....rammed full! Counted the miles between filling up tank twice, 30.3mpg average! I'm fairly light footed and tend to stick between 60 and 65mph on motorways. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
