21.2 mpg obtained on a decent long motorway run, and app 19 mpg on rural roads - early experiences over c800-900 miles. Town mileage c.17mpg. Maserati MC Stradale 2016
RRS 2017 SDV8 AutoBiography - June 2018
RRS 2010 Supercharged - 2013-May 2018
TVR Tuscan Mk1 3.6li - 50k miles and counting
2000 Mustang GT Convertible 4.6li V8 - Gone and much missed

And continuing to get this after some 3k miles in the car; predominantly 20+mile journeys on good A roads/dual carriageways or long runs on M-ways (when I have been up into 22's). This is achieved by smooth application of the accelerator and not simply booting it all the time from standing. Maserati MC Stradale 2016

I didn't realise the idea of owning a 5.0 litre supercharged was to drive it like a nanny and see how many mpg you can get out of it. I thought it was all about power speed and the noise the 5.0 litre engine makes. Otherwise why bother owning one

Ady - eat your Snickers, mate  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy
Ex 2006 RRS SC - garbage
Ex 2016 135i M Sport - dream car
Ex 2003 RS6 Avant - piece of cr*p
Ex 2014 320d X Drive, M Sport Touring - ok I guess
Ex 2007 RRS TDV8 - bloody loved it
EX 2007 FL2 XS - not so bad

You're right - and Im thinking about a 5.0 SC to replace the 911 and RRS........  FF 4.4 V8 Soooo looking forward to this bad boy

Bet that was coasting downhill as well  In Spain - 2018 F Pace - Frightened away from the Sports due to crank failures
Gone - A couple of RRS, A couple of Disco's. However thinking of another Sport.

Owning a TVR Tuscan for the past 8 yrs (and having previously owned a 4.6li V8 Mustang for 11) means I (hopefully) know a little about power, speed and noise

RRS S/C is superb - a totally different drive to the Tuscan, and imperious on some long journeys. Just don't feel the need to cane the car all the time though!  Maserati MC Stradale 2016
