Forget diesel, hybrid etc.. CSL returns 39mpg

Filled her up, drove along at 60-70mph then was pleasantly surprised to see the mpg achieved... perfect family car this... done over 37 miles :banana:

Had mine over 40 mpg when I brought it home from Bromsgrove!

(but only because I was too scared to press the throttle :whistle

I typically get 8.5lt/100km in the Swiss autobahn, driving with 140km/h

What the f**k. Never seen more than 28 when driving like miss daisy & I was pleased with that.

8.5l?

[MarcM]

Was getting over 35 mpg when I collected the car from Londonshire, haven't been able to replicate that since. I blame short journeys and a gorgeous sounding engine:drool:

Down hill with a wind behind.Thought they locked you up for driving that fast in Switzerland.

It's only a matter of time before G-dog swings by with the GTOTD :gayfight: award for this :whistle:

p.s. 35 MPG has been my best over 40 ish miles before I got bored driving like a saint to achieve this sort of numbers ... dropped a few cogs, SPORT button On and straight down to mid/low 20's MPGs where it belongs :supz:

I've had over 40 on the M-Way at 65-70. It's incredible for that engine, the age, size and output. Avoids continual fill-ups all the time which you can't avoid in some cars and long road trips don't become wallet killers.
And then when you come off the motorway you drive it properly not feeling too guilty. Amazing engine.

How bigs the tank on a CSL?? I managed my house to Nurburgring last year on a tank (398 miles) 0 left on range when I got there

60 litres IIRC. I've not managed to do Cambridge to Adenau on one tank yet but then Cambridge is that little bit further away than Stevenage.
I'm sure that's the only reason why :whistle: :-D

[Steve B]

I drove there like miss daisy and the last 20 miles on 0 range just to prove a point

[Levente]
