I think you've had enough hints, please sort your sig!
And can you explain this to me in english? Revs are not the only indication of fuel consumption. A struggling and laboured engine at 2000rpm will use more fuel than a free revving engine at 4000rpm. yet produce half the power
Thrasher:
Oh is it bad to rev a V8 to 5500rpm (rover) or 7000rpm (AJV8) while in gear (i.e. driving) - if so I'm in serious trouble! :shock:

...on tyres.
Thrasher:

--- Quote from: "steveo4v8i" ---36 mpg right did it coming home from devon on the m5. havent used it to much lately going on motorways
at 75mph a 3.5v8i should do 21mpg on the motorway according to haynes book. think its 23.4 mpg at 56mph but never got as good as quicker speeds ive found
so u need to average 18mpg on lpg.
change gears at 2750rpm for a start
be relaxed with right foot and cost when downhill.
fit kn filter and lum.... leads . ngk spark plugs and that about it. oh all engine breathing bits secure and clean to breathe.
with bigger boots on u shoulld get 34ish.
make sure the exhuast does leak anywhere .
think also cars with lots of car polish on make less friction with the wind cause u get slight less drag.
and thats about it

Are you having a laugh??
A V8 will do that IN THEORY
Haynes have used the manufacturers figures that are usually unladen, everything turned off, probably on a banked circuit etc.
I have a Rover 2.0 diesel that should give me 78 mpg :shock:
I did the M5 to Devon @80 mph and got 46.5 and was happy
My V8 in my avatar does 12-14 mpg on lpg
Milage/ litres X 4.55 = MPG
175/ 60 x 4.55 = 13.27 MPG
Now if i were to compare it to petrol
Petrol price / LPG price
96.9 / 39.9 = 2.43
LPG miles x 2.43 = Pretend MPG comparison
13.27 x 2.43 = 32.2
Not bad for an AUTO, standard leads, on muds with roof rack and out laning last weekend oh and NO POLISH
Cant believe I just wrote this crap :shock:
