944 s2 average mpg on a run?

[j4mou]

I am just wondering what s2 owners get on a long run on average out of their cars?

As I am just trying to figure out how much I need to take with me in cash.

TIA

25-30mpg I would say, where are you going? A trip round Europe last year for me was £650+ for about 2800 miles.

I got 31mpg last run of 600 mls mixed motorway and good fast A/B roads.

brilliant cheers, only 250 miles, brighton to home. picking an s2 up tuesday

 

[944 man]

Id expect that youll achieve a lower figure as you arent familiar with the car.

 

[j4mou]

I was allowing for about £80, so cool, tried to ring you earlier

I always find the first tank of fuel in a new car goes very quickly..[]

Sounds like a sensible choice though - much better than those dodgy turbo things []

 

[j4mou]

thats what I thought too ed, Simons only seems to have been on the road the once he bought it home lol []

I found a big difference when I changed to the S2, although I seem to be in a minority. My lux hovered around 30 mpg no matter what sort of driving it had. The S2 varies a lot, from early-30s on a gentle motorway run, down to nearer 20 if you're being very "exuberant".

That insurance quote doesn't sound too bad for a group 20 car, and it looks like a cracker. All you need to do now is get joined up and bring it to the display at the National event! []

 

[944 man]

Its dear in my opinion. I pay less than half of that for a Turbo and DE4 is a far cheaper area than any Sheffield post code.

 

[j4mou]

I was hoping for about £120 ish, this year on the lux was going to be £85

 

[craiginuk]

Try RH insurance. About 140 for my turbo..

 

[j4mou]

[j4mou]

best now is £114.34 [] one more to try []

Excellent! Who was that with?

 

[j4mou]

its through a broker that I have used for the last ten years, Keith Michaels, ask for Gary Moulson 02082880275 (thats his direct number, so usually just answers "hello").
