New Is 250 Mpg

[Tel]

Have now done a 200mile motorway run & am pleased to report that the mpg was 35.8 with just 300 miles on the odo which is a real surprise as my previous car took nearly 20000miles to reach this impressive figure.(average speed was 68mph including 15miles of urbane roads).Excellent for a relatively powerfull auto!

Nice one Tel - anything else more impressive over the first one?

The 250 Auto is really quite economical on the motorway. I can stick around 75 - 80mph and by the end of the journey the average mpg is reading 40mpg.

Here are my initial Findings----

1.The Engine is Quieter & Smoother

2.So ,too, the Ride.

3.The Voice-Activated MM is superb.

4.Bank-Vault Build Quality &

5.The potential for 40 mpg as the tank average has now climbed to 35mpg after only 500 miles.

6.The "Charcoal Black Mica " looks stunning:never really seen the alleged Grey hue even in bright sun-----surprising.

I've been using Tesco 99 RON for a few weeks and get about 30-31 mpg to work (17 mile trip - 10 mile motorway).

Last two fill-ups have been with standard Tesco 95 RON and mpg is down to 27.5mpg.

what do you think is the best it could achieve,if you drove say,at around 55mph,on the motorway.

i tried this with my bmw,and just got to 60 mpg,it averaged out at 47mpg,all after resetting the computer.

You'd get 45mpg+ easy.

What's charcoal black mica? Is that finally a metallic black? Or is it just the same dark grey they did before with a new fancy name?

45mpg is pretty impressive even if you are just crawling along!

My car is Cadaxton but I have never seen it other than charcoal black even in bright sunlight which I find surprising.The new Hoshis are now bright silver which is also a surprise & along with the chrome bodywork trim the car really does look stunning although,like black(swirls apart) needs to be detailed more.

Today is very sunny & the car really does look liquorice black( even next to a black Range Rover) with friends & family all "seeing" black.

Hi Tel....

maybe a stupid question but what was you old car?

I don't mean to hijack your thread but...

you may be able answer a simple question... I picked up my IS250 yesterday.... How do you zero the avarage miles per tank?

I managed all the other options i.e avarge speed and avarage miles per gallon...

Simple answer - refill with fuel...does it auomatically if you put in more than £5-7
