Yes, I know this is sad, but I started and I can't stop now ..... :chuckle:
From the first day I purchased the R33 GTR I have been keeping accurate records of the fuel and mileage, the first month or so was not too accurate, but from July onwards the tank was always filled up to the same point in the neck, and the mileage recorded, so here we have a record of the mpg for the first 6 months of ownership (as I stated, sad).
A couple of points to take note of, the high of 20.2 mpg was a steady 200 mile journey, no "ridiculous" speeding
and no hard accelaration, but certainly not a steady 55 all the way
. The lows can be traced to city and town journeys, and contrary to belief the 13.7 mpg low was not due to me following Andy Hornsby on one of his days out :chuckle:
The most recent 16 mpg was a steady, but not excessive, motorway trip through to Wishaw to see Mark and the guys at the The Garage.
Just thought I'd share this, next installment in 6 months time, bet you all can't wait .... and one last bit of useless information, this is what 1785.17 litres or 392.69 gallons or £1771.35 of petrol looks like ....
