65-75mph..

Cruise control and it was all motorway mileage.

Plus I get that all back at 40p a mile from work.

so 180 miles x .40p = £72 in my pocket for driving carefully.

Very good results!

I've learnt though that never take what he computer gives you as a given. My Audi was like 8 mpg out when I did the sums!

I don't think you were all trying hard enough to still be on the same tank of fuel
