I am indeed a WBA fan - might be a few more years before we are playing each other though!

Missed this!
My business partner is a die hard baggies fan and I’ve been a few times. Another strange coincidence is who I bought my i8 from at BMW Shrewsbury - one Ally Robertson !
He’s also coincidentally from the next village along from the town I was brought up in in Scotland...
A Wolves fan was in the dealership when I picked up my i8 and got this done...

Yeah it definitely doesn’t seem right to me

I’ve fuelled up today, reset the miles meter and going to monitor how many miles I get from £25 and what the MPG is too

But £25 in the car and then having to put it in again 4 days later doesn’t seem right to me, I’ve not even been tagging the car around that much either

Doesn’t sound right to me either Shane

Reference the fuel the £25 I put in, it lasted me exactly 7 days, got approx 37MPG and around 180 miles roughly

That’s sounds more reasonable!

The one thing I have noticed is travelling on the motorway I can get MPG in the 40s

Travelling on local roads it’s the miss 20s at best driving in echo mode too

Checking fuel economy by filling an empty tank will not give you accurate results as you are never really sure how much fuel is left in the tank. What I would do is pick a local garage and fill up to the brim till the pump clicks off. Drive it for a week then pick the exact same pump at the same garage and do it again. Note the amount of fuel and mileage covered. Do this 10 times and take an average

Welcome, sure would be more accurate...
