When I bought my old Cossie it was running on greys mapped by that div Paul Hills at Engine Advantages. As well as having virtually no cold start map what so ever, I once put £15 in and got 18 miles of hard driving...

I wouldn't mind my mpg if I was pushing out a decent amount of power and not 150
Around town best I get is about 27mpg on the motorway I had 40mpg out of it before but that was driving at around 60-65mph all the way some areas of 70mph and one area just a slight bit more...
Focus 1.8 Zetec.

I saw 41 mpg in mine (throttle bodies on Zetec) on a steady run to Ford Fair
Its obviously not as good when kicking its hole in though, used about £30 of optimax on a 2 hour track night at Knockhill on Monday there
