7mpg is what I get with my MG when I'm enjoying myself with it

Did you see that drag racing thing on 5th Gear the other night... 0.5mpg for that souped up old Ford that did 0-190mph in 8 secs That would be 2 gallons per mile then

Yeah seen it when I was back in the UK, the guy is a friend of a friend who also drag races Mustangs. To think that Firenza is a road legal car too
He was supposed to take it to the King of Europe last year at Chimay but never made it. There was a 1500hp MG SV there running in the low 9seconds Sons of dogs come hither and get flesh

Hi Chuck welcome to the forum.

Yes my TDV6 does hesitate as you described, hopefully JE Engineering will sort this out with an ECU upgrade at the end of the month.

It seems a waste to have an SC drinking so heavily when I am sure you can get as much fun from a TDV6 or TDV8. If money is no object then the world is your lobster, by shares in Shell!!

Us poor Jersey boys have to watch our pennies so not many SC's here!

Last time I was on Jersey and had a hire car I asked about whether I filled it up or let it go empty when I returned it, the salesman chuckled and said that I would be lucky if I ran it out of petrol and to bring it back just as it was at the time. had the car for 5 days and never used more than 1/4 tank and was round the island 3 times at that time it was less than 20p for a litre

When I put the foot to the floor in my works "truck" the fuel consumption gets to 0.0001mpg.................... and it can only get to 30mph and even then that takes nearly 2 hours on the engine speed up program. It is a 12 cylinder triple turbo diesel producing 94000kW mind you. Normally we measure it's fuel consumption in 100's of tonnes a day (like in 220 tpd at "economical" revs of 79 rpm or 280 tpd flat out at 94rpm) mpg is a bit silly with diesels that size! As for emissions.......... well with what that lump puts out in an hour all of your cars and mine put together would not even get anywhere near it! We have just had Low Sulphur Fuel foisted on us too to reduce the emissions - what a joke 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

Sorry for going off topic!!

Tim,

Whats your industry position on emissions? Do you have to monitor/report etc?

Hey Alicatt, it's surprising how much juice the RRS uses in a month of stop start motoring, but even here with an average speed of only 16 some odd MPH, she still returns 20.2 MPG. That said I have to fill up twice a month
