If you get 35mpg brim to brim then you are very, very lucky


Yes I am very lucky and happy with my economy 😉.

Could it be a problems with the brakes or bearing!?

Can you do a test with the cruise control set to 30mph and watching the instantaneous fuel consumption for 1 or 2 minutes if you can on clear ( and flat if possible) road and tell what is the minimum and maximum value?
