mpg does not =performance

I got 34+ mpg with a full load of camping gear on the way to Silverstone MotoGp a couple of weeks ago (based on the computer). Best consumption seems to be at 62 mph (funny that isn't it as it is 100 kph).
Driving gently on short trips and using 6th (early 197 with low gearing), I am showing 31.
I used to do better with my BMW130i which had 265bhp but hey ho!
 
I'm at Porsche Silverstone at the weekend for a driver training session in the Clio, so will be interesting to see what it does on their little tracks.
13 :biggrin: It somehow felt impolite passing 911s on Porsches own test track, but what else can you do when they're getting in the way :lol:. Really impressed with the car - chassis is just sublime, and electronics not too interfering. I can see why people like them for track work.
