I used to get about 25mpg from my TDV6, which mostly motorways, fast A roads...

It's very easy to get the SC into single figures.

that is madness, surely that would only be possible if wringing its neck like you stole it?!?!?

As per my prev post - all town driving - school run - cold engine - and when able - warp factor 5 - still managed 15mpg average. . . . so certainly got over 200m out of a tank - but less than 300 even on a steady long run ! So always filling up.

A 3 year old SC for high twenties though.... Wow, that is a good buy.

I bought at £42k and 18 months thinking that depreciation would have slowed, and maybe it would have, but then the credit crunch happened................ 2022 P440e AB

If I was out to buy a new RRS and only did 7k miles per year - I think the supercharged is a second hand bargain - look for the best deal you can on a late used fully loaded one

Ps I sold mine at 18mths old after original launch.... at 12 mths I may have been able to sell with little loss - but then at 18mths WOW all of a sudden the bottom fell out - best offers for this Mint low mileage RRS was £35k - it had cost £60k new. Even the Audi dealer whom I'd bought dozens of cars off coulf only offer the same!

SO as I said earlier - buy used - ie £45k for something nearly new and with all the extras - Job Done

Oh yeah, definitely... you are very likely to get more as long as you're more gentle on the right foot but that's quite possible at the extreme. At the end of the day, you don't buy an SC if you're worried about mpg. It's not what it's all about and as others are saying, if you're not going to drive it much it's a bargain.
