    660 miles driven in October, and have saved a small fortune in fuel costs vs my previous gas guzzling V6. I like the visible reminder! That's roughly $144, at today's exchange rates.

    Congrats. Just completed my fourth day with Poppy, ( in honour of remembrance day ) and according to the car, I've driven 205 miles with an average of 65+ mpg.

    I am delighted with the car! Even better, wife like it as well. :):X3:

    I was rather surprised today, temp was 10C (50F), had a 115 mile round trip drive (85% on motorway, 15% on local roads) - got stuck in traffic now and then, but also got up to 70mph, in PWR mode, and had to accelerate fairly rapidly, into the red zone too, lots of trucks to pass. Had AC on, and heated seat. Just me travelling, and dashboard for the trip today shows 69.4mpg UK (58mpg US) with early morning drive and return journey was in afternoon, so both times engine was cold to start with.

    I'm a happy chappy :)

    That's the same for me. Not slowing the busy traffic on a two-way main road involved me going hard into the red for about 10% of the time. My specs are constantly varied by temporary limits and traffic jams interspersed with dual carriageway and 75 mph and high 60s mpg. :sneaky:
    Oh, and I'm always in 'normal' more as I've not done a long trip or motorway journey yet.
