Hi all,
I've ran my FR+ company car since Jan 16th and log all my fuel due to using a fuel card.
It's sitting on 12700 miles and was registered 21 Oct 2011 on a 61.
Most of my driving is on the Motorway;
Febs figures - 2833 miles averaging 42.32 mpg
March figures - 2738 miles averaging 41.98 mpg
These are real actual figures not the trip computer figures.
I need to hit 15p a mile to not lose money and stay within the guidelines SO I'm not thrashing it all over the place, most of the time I sit in 6th at 2000 revs which is 66 mph.
BTW the trip is miles out, today I travelled from Derby to Exeter and back, my trip said 54.8mpg and my actual was 42.84mpg, I'm amazed the trip is so bad.
What do you think?
Is around 42mpg acceptable?
Will it get better when I've got more miles under my belt?
I have read 5th is better than 6th, which sounds a bit mad but I'm going to try that tomorrow on my trip to Gloucester.
