Guess the MPG

Just for fun,

I'm traveling from Cornwall to Paris and back this weekend (fri-mon)

the car is a 2010 LCI 325d (N57) auto, 75k miles and well serviced. stock.

i'll be driving sensibly as they have those new speed camera on a good whack of my route in the UK and don't want the hassle in France.... but i like to know its a 3litre at times

around town i get 30mpg, on a run at "pace" i get low 40's and being a total granny i get 50mpg over 250miles.

Now this is the longest trip i've taken this car so keen to see what she'll do.

Anyone want to guess the MPG for a bit of fun?

closest wins.... i've reset the journey computer and will take a picture at the end.

Good luck!

Andy

PS it'll literally be driving to Paris, parking it up for the weekend then driving home so no city driving really....

Good game. 38.2 average is my guess. Maybe pessimistic, but a bit of traffic / autobox / 3 litre factored in... ;-)

Looks like our winner is 'Drshan0' with 43.5mpg! More importantly though, what do I get for coming second 😉

you get that warm fuzzy feeling that if i hadn't of been sat for 2 hours on the M5 as it was closed, you would have won
