32valves Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 I think we did about 2750 miles in total so about 2500 for the run itself. Just waiting for the last couple of fuel bills to come in so we can get an approximate mpg figure but it's looking good, mid thirties or thereabouts. Well pleased Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well pleasedI remember my old Sprint was always amazingly good on fuel (well, once I'd slung the slushbox). Much better than the 1850 it replaced. Good torque and tall gearing.....Nick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
32valves Posted September 26, 2009 Share Posted September 26, 2009 Well, all the fuel bills are in and it looks like the Sprint averaged a little over 37mpg. That means it must be nudging 40mpg at sensible motorway speeds. Astonishing ! (All calculated by my ace co-driver David. Total bill for fuel and tolls was ~ £430)I'll be using some of the money saved to pay the excess for a new windscreen. Half a mile from home some tw@t in a BMW overtook us on a hatched off area and kicked up a stone that cracked the screen good and proper. May the fleas of a thousand camels etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
