    hit your trip counter on the car to zero and fill the car. Drive til you need to get more petrol, then when you do buy the petrol, enter the number of litres bought and the miles you did into this site: http://www.torquecars.com/tools/uk-mpg-calculator.php

    Miles driven divided by litres required to refill again multiplied by 4.546 =MPG

    e.g. 430/65x4.546=30.07mpg

    2003 Audi RS6.

    The other yoke (Tomcat 90), has a 3.9Efi Range Rover engine, and does 14mpg on the road and around 4-5mpg off-road. :D
    It only does 1000 miles or so per year though. :rolleyes:
