156 at the end of the world...
Took the 156 down to the West Country for a long weekend.
Took in the Eden Project, Fleet Air Arm Museum and Lands End. Total miles in the region of 650. 2 tanks of fuel burned. Average MPG just short of 35. Problems: 1. Leaking windscreen washer pump. Bugger. Used one sourced, cost £4.18 incl. delivery. Time to fit: too long, with skinned knuckles, I suspect. http://www.italiancar.co.uk/Westcoun...es/Media/P1010 412/P1010412.jpg Full set he http://www.italiancar.co.uk/Westcountry -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' Alfa 156 TSpark Sportwagon Veloce Selespeed - Alfa 75 TSpark Lusso - Ducati 750SS - BMW R100RT - Toyota Prius T-Spirit |

I hate to be picky, but I'm going to anyway... 2 tanks of fuel over 650 miles is not 35mpg! 2 tanks is about 120 litres or 26 gallons. 650 miles over 26 gallons is 25mpg. Which means you had fun! |

Which means you had fun! Oh, this isn't a precise thing, more a '2 tanks-ish'. The fuel computer thingie said just short of 35mpg. Probably closer to 33 in the real world - although the speedo on this car is remarkably accurate (ie. 70mph indicated is 70mph on the GPS) - so it won't be far wrong. -- SteveH 'You're not a real petrolhead unless you've owned an Alfa Romeo' Alfa 156 TSpark Sportwagon Veloce Selespeed - Alfa 75 TSpark Lusso - Ducati 750SS - BMW R100RT - Toyota Prius T-Spirit |
