Nice-looking 4-seat Strad.

Might one assume form the MPG that they've been giving it the beans while it's been in stock?

Or sat idling
I considered that but reckoned that's a lot of idling to bring the average down to 12.4 over 70 miles. Mind you, the average slow is only 17mph, so perhaps the trainee has been revving the crackers off it to show his mates how good it sounds.

Anyway, bad ad for mpg and a strange screen to choose.

PS - don't judge it by your own standards.

That’s the mpg I got over a 3000 rerun to Italy - it’s easily done :eek:
Is the Strad a bit thirstier than the GTS? On a run I'd get a solid 19/20 in mine. Easily down to low double and high single figures with determined use, but with Mrs Crud ib the co-pilot's seat it was always a bit more frugal.

It’s was my GTS not thevStrad, but I never touched a motorway apart for getting to the tunnel and spent most of my time doing speed bursts through the alps - oh and revising it at junctions and generally driving like a ****t

Because the Strad has the weight saving of no front parking sensors, it is slightly better on fuel than my GTS, in my experience
