Out of curiosity, I wanted to work out what MPG I got from my V8 at the weekend, seeing as I'd filled it before we left, and then filled it again before we came back. Travelling down to deepest darkest Cornwall, we didn't really hit any traffic all the way down, so it was cruising, mostly around 70-75 all the way. I've worked out that we did 161.7 miles between the initial fill and then topping it up again in Penzance, with 26.46 litres, or 5.82 gallons of petrol.
This works out at 27.78 mpg, which seems a bit high. I know that there could be a difference between the initial fill and the topping up, I didn't brim it on either occasion, but I wouldn't have thought it would make that much difference. Is this normal? It just seems a bit higher than I'd expect!
