Pretty pleased with that, and if it's like my G30 experience, I should get an incremental increases at 12,000 and 16,000. As a reminder, for me it's not about the mpg per se but the range - now on a theoretical range of 670, which for a car that size, fully laden, is pretty good and I think mind 700s should be possible. Roll on when we can actually get to blast across Europe again!

I second this. On around 12k Miles. With 7 seat option.

I regularly achieve between 37 mpg to close to 40.

Again, I'm more focused on range. Anything close to 700 is, for me, a fantastic achievement.

And is mind boggling for a car this size
