Ok guys. As some of you know I bought my ZT-T down south, a journey home of 555 miles. I filled the tank to the brim in Luton then again at Cairnlodge near Douglas and again when I arrived in Elgin. How many gallons of fuel did I use? There's a dram in it for you if I see you at any meets. Keep in mind I was not thrashing the car on the way home :adding

I'd say roughly 21 gallons

Very close, it was 20.31 that's 27.32 mpg. I'm amazed and delighted

I put the window down every chance I get just to hear it. Going through long tunnels on the M25 omg it's addictive

I've just done 560 miles down from near Inverness to Bournemouth last night,but I went in my 160 which gave me 32 mpg which I was pleased with as I tend to get 27-28mpg in my 260 on a long steady run.

Would have much rather gone in the 260 but need to keep the mileage down and didn't know what the weather or roads would be like up there.

Needn't have worried about the weather as there was plenty of sun and hardly any rain at all,unlike down south apparently!

First thing I wanted to do after driving home all through the night was go for a drive in the 260,but it's too wet and flooded and down here.

I got 22 taking the 385 home 450 miles, thought it might be a little bit better on the long run, but I think it needs a little bit of fine tuning.
