Here's a link to some info I've been keeping on average mpg against average mph/journey using 97 0ctane
 
http://uk.briefcase.yahoo.com/bc/cossie2935/lst?.dir=/Scorpio&.order =&.view=l&.src=bc&.done=http%3a//uk.briefcase.yahoo.com/ (Can you open it?)
 
It'll obviously depend on the rpm used: the higher the rpm the lower the mpg. I run at 3000rpm at 80mph.

Hi Snoopy and ScorpioMan,
 
I've just successfully opened it via the link (and I said "No" to "update links?"). It is an Excel file so I guess you need some kind of spreadsheet program (if not Excel) to see it. If you have and still can't then I'm stumped.  Sad

NOR me, don't forget its YOUR web page that you are linking to and it may have YOUR cookies.... One suggestion right click on the file when you next go there and go to properties and copy THAT location and put that up it might be different.
 
I have MS Office Pro and use Excel so its NOT that. I cannot find the server
