Cima Racing : Home2Rome 2010: Fuel economy? Pah!

Fuel economy? Pah!

15 April 2010

This could get expensive.

The Lexus has never been known for its frugality, what with it being as big as a barge, having a 'relaxed' 4.0 V8 engine, and weighing as much as Worcestershire. We're not expecting 40mpg levels of economy.

We've just completed 95 miles since picking up the car. It was full to the brim when we started, and has just swallowed £28.50 of Tesco's unleaded petrol. By my calculations, that's an average of around 19.5mpg or, to make it seem slightly scarier, means we'll need something like 700 litres of the stuff to get to Rome and back via the unnecessarily complicated route we'll be taking.

Spare fuel card, anyone?
