Great video, looking forward to more TTRS content. Sold my own Elise in March and then traded in my 135i coupe for a 2018 TTRS, was considering an M2 at the time (nearly yours but my Elise didn’t have the aero you wanted). TTRS is a great compromise for a daily sports car, surprisingly practical - I’m amazed you got 48mpg from it. I’m averaging 31.6 over nearly 5000 miles since April including a trip to Holland and now in Northumberland for a week. You must have had a lot of self discipline on this trip, I find the sound of the engine on tap in dynamic too addictive 😀 Keep at it!
@@DrivingBex I’ve got a TT-RS Roadster, if you ever do it again, on the Motorway, use cruise control & if you do have to brake try to get itnto the highest gear as soon as possible. I went on a 4 day fishing trip last weekend in another car I’ve got - a RS6 Performance and I played the Tight Arse game with the fuel going down the A1 and tried to get it into 4-cylinder mode as much as possible……it wasn’t easy because I’m a child & love the sound too much………..it’s been running at 740bhp for the last 3 years & attracts a lot of attention at the fishing!
I looked this up once and found that VAG cars have a built in reserve of like 45 miles after you hit 0 on the readout. So you’d have made it home, but it does take nerves of steel to ride it out on zero
Oh and don't trust your cars computer. Do the manual calculation (start full tank, then fill back up to full for an accurate fuel quantity), use that with your trip distance and do the manual maths. Expect your car to be over estimating your MPG..
Bex, please please please don't run the car on only supermarket fuel. Put at least every other fill up or maybe every third one with premium higher octane, ideally a branded one. You will actually get slightly better mpg with higher octane fuel. Moan over
Claim to fame; once achieved 27mpg in the old c63 over an hour and a half… I would like to add that average speed cameras player a major part in this
🤣🤣🤣

I definitely didn’t fancy risking it 🤣🤣
Cool little vid Bex, interesting that 🙌👌✅
Thankyou!!💪🏼
Nice one as always bex
Thankyouuuu!
Great vid. Love it. 😊😎
Thankyou!!
I get around 35-40mpg on a long run / motorway cruise in my 2.4 n/a 5cylinder Volvo V70 (P80 platform)
Surely better to cool car with aircon than create a load of drag lowering windows
Was testing out some recommended tips!
Was caught short on the M3 the other day and paying 2.15 a litre for 97 was emotional 😂
It’s heartbreaking isn’t it🥲

Our ceo worked on fuel supply etc….he said Supermarket fuel come from the same refinery as other brands….
