You beat me to it.

I saw the 28-31mpg and did a double take.

But that's (using US gallons) 23-25mpg for us. (1 US = .83 UK)

My 2.5L was 24mpg mixed and 28-30mpg highway. Lead foot and redline all the time.

My 3L is not much worse even with my lead foot and now mostly city driving. It's about 21-22mpg. It sees 27-28mpg on the highway. That's right about the EPA rating for the 2.5L

2000 SVT #674 13.47 @ 102 - All Motor! It was not broke; Yet I fixed it anyway.
