miles per gallon
 
Today i went for a drive to the land that time forgot (scotland) and did just over 360 miles. i got an average of 28.1 mpg. That was a few miles round town, then about 30 miles of country roads then the rest motorway. I think thats pretty good for an S8. Although the other day i got an average of just over 30 mpg driving like a judge going to sheffield. does everybody else get about the same ?
Also fuel costs. i thought they were supposed to be going down or staying the same ? wednesday i paid £135.9 per litre and today i had to pay £139.9 from the same garage. whats going on ?

That is some drive. Never seen 28 as an average on any S8. Perhaps your Revo map has improved things? Not sure about the price, I don't even look anymore.

i am sure that i do get better fuel consumption now after the remap and she runs a lot better +++

never seen better than 20mpg and round town it's nearer 14 :-( did manage to nudge the tank average up to 17 by doing a few miles cross country.....

I don't drive like a loon either, as usually got my 11 month old in the car!

Managed 29-30 on a run upto the lake district last year, sitting on the motorway at a steady 70 all day long.

Get about 21-22 on my daily a road commute.

I've been getting 21 ish, thats with a 60 mile round trip when I'm in the office.
I could get better but I'm still enjoying the rate that the car get upto speed.

my computer is pretty much stuck at 14.5 at the moment with lots of very short local journeys.

Get 22ish on long runs

Zip (2002 S8 as well)

Im getting 22-26 on my 3.7 FL, mostly local and short motorway runs, be likely to be 3 or 4 mph better on a long run

Being mildly anal and running a spreadsheet since I acquired the 8 I have managed 30.5 mpg average (financially). LPG Rulezzzzzzz...:D++++++
