MrsAlfa 58 Report post Posted March 26, 2012 A lot of people have told me that they don't get good fuel economy from their GTA. I went out in the GTA the other day, from my house in Sharnbrook, Beds to the village hall in Steeple Aston, Oxfordshire. The journey was part country roads, part dual carriageway, part A roads, lots of junctions, stopping and starting, and the total journey was about 115 miles. This was the result ....

MrsAlfa 58 Report post Posted March 27, 2012 You'll have to speak to Andy - I don't know how he does it! Although when I drive it, it's the same so it must be the car! He doesn't drive it like a granny though, I know that, he scares me shitless sometimes! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you know, it's 10 years old, and it's nearly worth what we paid for it?! Plus, like I say, it does get ragged around! Doesn't need a lot of welly to get the noise though, because of the Scorpion .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MrsAlfa 58 Report post Posted March 27, 2012 I think so. TBH it's not my car, so I don't drive it often and I'm not allowed to play with the buttons Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
