    Default VXR Mileage Facts ....

    Right after a lot of debate on VXR mileage claims I decided to do a measured tank, we were going to Dundee for a run so thought it would be good to get a mixed drive. So on my tankfull of petrol, shell Vmax I did 293 miles and this took 11.04 gallons of petrol. Therefore with my calculations I got an average of 26.5 miles to a gallon. the mileage was broken down into 1 run to dundee and back, this was 120 miles with cruise control on @ 70mph except for a few roadworks, the other 173 miles is round the houses, 1/2 Aberdeen, 1/2 Dundee, a few spirited runs but mostly at speed limits, and probably 1/2 hour in traffic sitting still . For so many smiles to the miles I think it is stonking value.

    Thats excellent economy Tommy

    I done something similar last week with the 2.0T and my average was 27.5MPG which was mostly short journeys around the town and 1 run to Oban, not much difference really compared to the BHP of the 2 engines

    I thinks that very interesting i thought the vxr was not that good on fuel but that seems a fair test with good results for a 2.8 turbo

    That's spot on Bainie, so all these 45 mpg claimant's can now be seen for what they are, deluded or liar's.

    I'm sorry mate, but who said they get 45mpg from their 2.8?
