220miles doesn't seem a lot, I reckon I get 300ish, just over from an average tank, lots of B-Roads around me etc as well so it's not all motorway. I'll try and take a note of it this weekend as my Turbo hunting should take me on long motorway trips South.

long time ago, just before I bought the turbo coupe.

I was on roverload before too, but didn't come over to here for a while, not until it the lounge opened anyway, as it used to be technical only.
Was on here over a year before I actually got my rover

It's been so long I dont think I can ever leave, despite not having the coupe any more.
