I believe Mike said he was getting 53mpg @74mph on the motorway, often overtaking in the fast lane. Like you mpg is important to me, I’m certainly not a slow coach often seeing speeds in excess of what you quoted on no camera motorways B roads much the same and if theres a car in front doing 25mph below the limit I will pass them at the first safe oppurtuniy. I certainly wouldn’t like to be in an EV accelerating flat out and then have to limit my speed at 64mph on a motorway to preseve battery life lol.
Indeed, sometimes I do forget exactly what everyone did or has said and the comment was more to do with what phaedra said about the reviews than mikes experience so far, which i am looking forward to.
They can vary so much and what are normal conditions for some ain’t for others. I may also do over 78 sometimes, but I don’t say anything about that and I will overtake when safe to do so, kinda do miss the civic sport for that.
Often on the ev threads many say they do well under the speed limit and personally I think the manufacturers need to say how much range will decrease in certain conditions, especally the cold. It’s not just ev’s though right now there are some I just think as fuel is so high are trying to save pennies.
I Blame the switch to E10 as well as they have ditched E5 95 ron and bascally only sell super unleaded 97/99 ron so what ever you use it’s costing more now than before. not like most cars need SUL but many are using it, sometimes I do half a tank of each.
I switched over to petrol back in 2020 after years of diesels with no issues due to covid and other factors dpf issue became very common for me.
As i use acc alot even in town, if a car infront moves off fast, so does my car and the one downside to the vitara i have now is it only has one mode floor it, unlike my last 2 cars where the acc was more sedate in eco and normal modes than sport mode. But hey ho it helps me alot acc.
Some parliamentary group’s pushing for speed limits to be reduced to 64mph and no cars in cities on a sunday. To reach target’s setout. That messes up any sunday visits to our family then and will hit the economy. What consideration is there for us with mobility issues, pretty much non like during covid and the closure of roads.
One bonus is i don’t go into a big city anymore and since my mum died in 2021 and my 3 bro’s now all outside london in home county’s, I don’t have to go into london anymore or any other city on the regular, but these changes are coming, even ev’s won’t be allowed.
