I'm usually taking it fairly easy, using the torque of the supercharged motor to pull higher gears, keeping the speed down to the legal limit on motorways / dual carriageways (70 & 60 mph) and just trying to drive as smoothly as possible. Okay, so I still let her rip occassionally (

), but a long motorway journey can see her returning as much as 38 mpg

watch those inside edges peeps,

had loads of rubber on mine, given 5k more by tyre fitter [18k at time] after check quote for RF again
wanted to sell with s-spokes with rubber, so changed early to new wheels/rubber
found big damage to inside edges, visable wire etc

[ after 12k rotation ] tyre ware indicators showed as ok across width, visable tread looking good as well
