13p a litre?! Id thrash the car for all its worth all day and everyday if fuel was that cheap! :mad:

I get 200 to 260+ miles per tank. Dammn 4 cyl fuel tank limits my range a little! :x

Up to a point. But doing doing 100mph requires a lot more power than doing a steady 70mph. Roughly 3 times as much.
I drove the 320 at a steady 75mph on the mway, with a bit of A road stuff(all careful on the swingometer). I managed 300 miles and I don't see anyone doing much better than that (in this particular car, not ever driven any other 320s so can't comment).


However, this 318IS is loads better - I've managed 195miles by the halfway point and I've been driving it enthusiastically.
