Beat this! T-spark owners excluded from competion!

I Managed to get 31.4 Miles per gallon on the way back form the car show!

Sorry about the blurry image but I was so excited.

The strange thing was I only got 28 MPG there and on the way back I had the air con on

I know I just can't help being from Aberdeen!

Good stuff but it says 31.3mpg and you are listening to Classic FM!?

I got an ICS 32mpg out of the 3.2 on way back from Stoke on Trent when I bought it - Not had that since! 29.6mpg showing yesterday on my Brera hunt.

Well if I was listing to some sort of aggravating rock music I would have driven faster and my MPG would have gone down!

True enough - I am usually listening to heavy metal tunes or mainly the V6 itself when on my own!

Climate off, tyres at correct pressure, new air filter and oil change and cruise control set to 50 in sixth and watch the mpg climb!

Who says Alfa V6's are thirsty?

So who needs a radio with a V6?
