Re: utterly random picture thread.
The CB1000R has been here since July 2023 and the X-ADV since January 2024 and my ca you can also see there has been here since November 2022. I'm a hoarder!

Re: utterly random picture thread.
I think this is a record!
Just under 60mpg on this morning's commute... In a car that weighs 5004lb (according to the app).

Re: utterly random picture thread.
This is a Volvo S90, the Volvo competitor to the 5er and the E class.
It's fucking massive with the poverty spec D4 engine. The gear box does clever things to help with the mpg, but it shoots up massively when the weather is warm.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
I once got 73mpg out of my enormous great German saloon with all the bells and whistles

Re: utterly random picture thread.
I can get late 60's on the motorway.
I don't go on the motorway for my commute.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
The hybrid shopping trolley indicates 70.1mpg over 5k miles.
All the others I've 'measured' in fill-ups/month although I think my LWB petrol Landy did about 17mpg.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
TBF that 73mpg was in a German diesel car, so it was probably lying through its teeth and chucking a few back handers to the European Comission to boot.

Re: utterly random picture thread.
So that mpg figure was for running-in miles?
There is no cloud, just somebody else's computer.

You might have got even more if you'd reduced drag by taking the PRIDE flags off!KungFooBob wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2024 7:51 am I think this is a record!

Re: utterly random picture thread.
FWIW, I knew a guy who kept meticulous fuel and mileage records. He bought a new BMW K75S, mpg gradually improved and only levelled out after 15,000 miles.Potter wrote: ↑Thu Jul 18, 2024 12:10 pmI don’t think cars need “running in” these days.
Certainly not company cars that get given back every year.
Even bland can be a type of character
