We had a week in Scotland last week and took the Alfa. We're based in Hampshire so we did over 1400 miles during the week.
Obviously this included to 500+ mile motorway runs up to Sctoland and back but also some driving on the wiggly and up and down Scottish roads, sometimes four and even five up.
Total fuel consumption for the trip was nearly 34mpg whereas I normally reckon I get about 30mpg with normal 'domestic' motoring.
It does seem to be getting nosier on the motorways though, especially in crosswinds. We seem to be getting much more noise round the front doors, anyone know if these are still available?

Unless the rust at the bottom of the doors is now halfway up!  |
