I have a 3.7 QS and the best that i have had with a very light right foot is 37-38 on a motorway run at about 60-65 that was about 100 mile run. I always use V power , Not that there has been alot around Leiecster over the past few weeks . I picked some up when i was in the South over the weekend.

South East has no v-power still either - south west did when we were down there, but went in the 'wrong' car just in case! Had to fill the S8 with 95 in the end as fed up trawling Shell/BP/Texaco in the faint hope one of them had had a delivery!

Apparently Shell took the decision to prioritise 95 and std diesel deliveries to their sites at the back end of March and I assume that will continue until any threat of strike is withdrawn.

Well on the second day of running the S8 daily, I'm getting 28mpg door to door.

I'm having to work very hard to get that though.

Maybe a service will help!

You'll not get any better than that, and i'd even say that's 28 is a bit ambitious in an S.

Is that from the DIS or from workings out from miles covered and litres put in the tank?

My drive home was not quite so sedate and it only dropped to 22mpg!

Back to behaving nicely tomorrow. It's good to boot it once in a while though...
