mpg Update

[The Flying Dutchman]

been doing some more checks on the BRM's MPG, as I appeared to be getting only just a shade more than 30mpg, albeit with a few minor issues with the car....

after sorting out the rear caliper and brake problems and fitting the 52mm TB I am getting 37mpg, based on getting 245 miles out of 30 litres... quite pleased with that!

have just fitted a Janspeed, and have again put 30 litres in the tank to do a comparitive test... I will lyk the difference...

anyone getting better than 37....?

you must be doin alot of 'in town' driving or hammering the gas pedal?

i've been trying to drive a sensibly as poss, my journey to work is 3 straight dual carriageways, so I can do a constant 65-70mph. There are a lot of old bill about on these roads too, have had a ton out of it easily, but I like my clean licence too much and also I usually have the wife n kids in the car, so speeding is a real no-no!!

My last fill up, I put in 36 litres and had completed 177 miles.

That equates to roughly 22mpg - and that includes 100 miles of motorway!!

just done a brim to brim test 340 miles/39.5L= 39mpg

Worked mine out last week as it was my first complete full to empty tank in the BRM, and it worked out at 39mpg, which i was very pleased with, as my BMW was doing 18mpg hence why i sold it!!
