27-30 on a run. It's the round town that kills it off |

Stop start around town and short trips kills my mpg, probably about 15 ish I would guess. 2024 P550e Autobiography

Fact - if I drive a 5.0 SC the same as a 4.4 TDV8 there is 8 to 10 mpg difference - the difference between petrol and diesel RR's has always been around this / ever since the launch of the 2.4 VM in 1986/7 - the overall mpg has improved significantly - but the difference is near as dammit the same 2021 L405 Vogue SE 4.4 V8 DIESEL ~ #17 |

I find I get my best mpg on 40/50mph sections where there are no real overtaking opportunities or benefits, my revs are around 1400. My daily commute is around 28 miles each way with a big hill to climb on the way, the OBC reads around 20/21 on the way to work and 23/24 on the way home.

As long as my overall average stays north of 20mpg I'm happy... Lots of short local journeys |

Mine does 28, but then I rarely unleash the mighty power of the TD6. |

35 to the gallon out of a 4.4TDV8 on the run from Calais to Geneva, mostly on adaptive cruise at 80ish mph.
