I wouldnt say that carefully :grin: VR's arent too bad mpg wise to be fair. Its just the price of petrol that is rubbish! I have done 39mpg before at a constant 45mph...... Mixed driving does 25mpg and motorway cruisin between 70-100 does 31mpg (at 70-80 you can do 35ish). Listening to the roar in 2nd gear around town does about 12-15 :grin: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
