We're happy with our mpg as it is nearly always more than 30 and those who were in the southern convoy when we caught up can vouch for the fact it gets driven shall we say..."with confidence", maybe it's just that it's not got many miles racked up yet and will decrease as the engine wears, they normally do don't they!?

p.s like your signature william it's kinda klingon don't you think?

sorry everyone - william is going over old ground here - i raised this issue some months ago and got plenty of replies then.

The mpg had gradually dropped to 22mpg but since meeting up with the other 15 cars it has suddenly jumped up to over 30!

aaah well maybe in the company of m's car it started to feel a bit inadequate and is compensating for it so you don't trade it in (or take it to the monkeys for a restyle

)

well credit where credit's due, the touches that you have done so far do look great!.
Keep up the good work M, friends of ours that have seen the line-up at drayton manor have all said something along the lines of what sort of cc is that? as though it's a special range like the difference between elise and exige!
yours jealously

p.s sorry to any lotus spotters if the above statement isn't technically accurate!

M275,

My husband dragged me over to look at your headlights and asked me how much it would be to have it done to ours. I told him about 500 quid and if he wanted to treat me he was welcome. He's not normally that interested in cars but loved your alterations and additions!

My mpg is OK was averaging 33 MPG but now getting 42 mpg since passing the 3K mark even though my cc spends most of its time in the fast lane of the A2
