Geez Kev, I couldn't even scrape in a flat 17 on the way across! For the record the old GT managed 17.7 litres / 100 km on the way over. Thats 15.8 miles / gallon in the old money.

You should have got better than that on the way back or are you blaming bad fuel economy on the quick stint past 4 (or was it 5) cars in one go. lol

Having just worked it out (though I think I will need to recheck the figures) I got 14 litres / 100 km, or 20 miles / gallon on the way back.
