    <p style=”text-align: left;”>@AKX I’ve done 650 miles in the first two weeks of having the car and I’ve averaged 3 miles per kwh. To put this into context, I do tend to have a heavy right foot and in my CLA I averaged 31 mpg over 67000 miles. Most of my driving in the i4 has been done as if it’s an ICE car heating set to 21 and I have no need to drive economically, but I must say you don’t need to have it in sports mode all the time as it’s too much at times. I did a little half an hour trip including some motorway driving a few days ago and drove normally, 70 on the motorway and didn’t flood it from the lights, but at no means was I driving sluggishly and I averaged 4 mpkwh. As I’ve said before I feel if I was going on a long trip with mainly motorways I’d easily averaged 4 so that would be 268 miles or more, but I’m sure others could push this much further. Due to my disabilities I can’t drive far without having to stop for a rest anyway so stopping for the odd 20 minutes quick charge suits me. I have no problems with paying to fast charge as it still works out cheaper than petrol and the savings I’m making is unreal. By my calculations I’ve saved nearly £100 in just 2 weeks and have never had so much fun driving.</p>
