  1. I use a CTeck smart charger. It is the one recommended by Honest John. I connect it to the 12 volt charging point under the bonnet so nice and easy. I just leave it over night for a top up conditioning charge or 3 months during the Winter when I'm away. Never had an issue with the charger or the Battery over the past 3 years.

  2. My car has averaged over 55 MPG during 12000 miles of ownership. BUT. 90% of my driving is on A/B roads and very few short trips from cold. Under certain conditions the car is capable of amazing fuel cons. I often see over 70 MPG in the summer months with slow moving holiday traffic. My driving profile is ideal for a Hybrid as I  only do about 10 miles before hitting a 30 limit where I use Battery power before hitting the open road to re-charge the Battery before the next village. How you drive and your driving profile is the key to good MPG.

  3. The Auto Express Driver Power Survey is about the only honest review you get from this German owned mag. A real survey written by people who actually own the car and run them day after day, year after year. Not someone on a three day jolly staying at a 5 star hotel with hot and cold running maids paid for by BMW. When you read there Lexus reviews I do wander what the guy is smoking.

  4. I have just checked my records and my fuel cons varies from 50 mpg during cooler weather and 57.2 mpg during summer months. Most of my driving consists of long runs on A/B roads in eco mode so fewer cold starts and a light foot. I take the car off the road during the Winter as I move to warmer weather so my driving profile is as good as it gets.

  5. Fuel consumption is very dependant on your driving profile and weather conditions. It loves hot weather and long runs on A/B roads. I have just completed 3 x 200 mile found trips so 3 cold starts and 3 warm starts. The computer is showing 63mpg and I will do another 200 mile before re-filling the tank which is still showing more than a 1/4 full so 800 miles from a tank of fuel. Awesome for a 2.5 litre petrol car.

  6. As a low mileage user I keep a record of every fill up and over the first 4430 miles I used 371 litres of Shell V Power which works out at 54.2 MPG. 

    60+ is achievable during the summer months but this falls off to the low 50's in the winter. Most of my driving is A/B roads with the odd short trip and short motorway runs.
