I think you could get 24 from a decent 4.6... if you reset the trip once up to speed
Hello, that's "Mr. Bellend" to you.You should get around 18-25mpg out of a V8 depending on how healthy it is the former being town the latter motorway
Contrary to popular belief if it is doing less than 16 it has an issue..
Unless you're driving like a right bell end.
Mine averages this..
In a mixture of town and A road driving, I reset it every fill up..
Turns out my trip is rather accurate the best i've got is 26 which ain't bad for a pushrod V8

I get about 325miles to a tank, brimmed to the light coming on. I always get about 75litres in back to the brim.... so finger in the air look to the horizon and shade my eyes against the setting sun maths gives me about 20 to the gallon. Might be a bit more on a long motorway run, probably a lot less chugging through the town.
Almost brand new engine though. Less than 10K miles since complete rebuild.

In all fairness we don’t how steep a slope he’s going down and wether that’s in neutral with windward

Short runs with their associated cold starts are a killer. I once had a 3.5 efi auto that returned 7mpg (brim-to-brim check) because I had no choice but to use the car for a week of 5 mile single journeys in the middle of winter.Hello, that's "Mr. Bellend" to you.
