Default Good economy

Missus and I just went down to Dorset from Purley for a few days in the S, the first proper outing since I bought it.

Ran faultlessly with plenty of VTEC on the country roads. Great top down weather too.

Anyway, re-fuelled up on way back after 300+ miles when down to 2 bars. 309.5 miles on 42.19 litres (9.3 gal). Light came on just as we got to petrol station so clearly still had 2.7 gals left (I believe tank is 12 gals???)

33.3mpg for the tank! Impressesive I reckon. As stated, plenty of vtec and top down as well. Better than I got in when I had my 1st S I think....

Where abouts did you go?

I miss Dorset, spent my first 22 years in this fine county. Now I have to live in Suffolk for work which the Mrs thinks is "rural"
