I'll pass by on my way home..

Steve, Your right.. Here is the article http://www.evo.co.uk/carreviews/evolongtermtests/221817/maserati_granturismo.html To Quote "At least I’ve discovered a way of eking a few more miles out of every gallon to offset the GranTurismo’s appetite for tyres. Having flown in to Heathrow Terminal...

Ok - am going for the one recommended by 2b1ask1.. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ring-Automotive-RSP240-Solar-Maintainer/dp/B003M9FRH2/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1354806101&sr=1-2-catcorr Will let you all know how I get on. . .

OK - Just checked and there is a 12V socket on the left hand side of the boot that is always on - Not that it matters as the battery is about 30 cm away anyway. Had a litte prod and reckon I can easily get a cable back into the cabin and mount the solar panel on the rear windscreen area with...

Hmmmmm.... I may run a cable to the battery and go with the Solar route.. Just to be safe.

Or - just give it a good blast on the weekend?

Will that work? Charging through the aux socket when the car is off?

You can thank HR Owen for that! - Here's a bigger one. And from the back..

Also - how long do you need to leave it on for? I'm thinking of putting it on when I get to the office as its a bit difficult outside my house.. Thanks in Advance!

Thanks Guys - and Adam for your advice regarding the battery. I have an insanely short commute - so the car drives for 5 mins each way.. I'll definitely need to consider the trickle charging. I do try and give it a blast each side of my commute, but I echo your view on finding the right roads to...

Thanks Frank - That's answered my question and taught me a lot about the engine/gearbox combination.

Hi, Do you need to warm the car up by idling on cold mornings? I think I read in the manual NOT to idle? Regards NasMan

Hey R, Yes - I thought it may actually be more frugal as it definitely revs lower, but I thought that missing out the first gear probably drinks more juice in start stop traffic that is London. Hehe.. Yeah - Like the idea of a Lady mode sticker.. Or Hangover sticker..

Forgot to mention - The other main reason for the Granturismo was that it's like having two cars. The "Better than Expected" in Auto Mode and the Noisy Prancing Horse - "drive by the seat of your pants" in Sports Mode..

Hi, Am a new owner and have had my 2011 GranTurismo 3 weeks now. I have read about all the niggles but they all fade away when you drive this car. Anyway - I am digressing. I've been driving in Auto ICE mode since the weather has changed and I wanted to know if this effects fuel...
