Hi guys and girls
I took delivery of my R a week ago and so far I'm loving it. Only about 500 miles on the clock so I don't think the engine has fully bedded in yet but today on the commute home I got an average of 41mpg. I was taking it easy with only a couple sprints off roundabouts etc and for 90% of the time it was in eco mode using acc, but even so this amazed me. I was hoping for 35 at best so very pleased with this.
I know the R is not an eco friendly car and I didn't buy it to try and achieve mega MPG but I love the split personality of the car. Quiet comfortable cruiser one minute, absolute animal the next.
I must admit the other day when I was driving around town in race mode it was more like 20mpg. But the fact that I know I can now get circa 40mpg on my commute I'm extremely happy.
Anyone else get figures like this or is it just me?
