Drove up to Glasgow from wigan this weekend in the zed, always shocked to see that all that fun costs so much fuel.....

 

It lead me to wonder, what's everyones opinion on the most fuel efficient speed when cruising down the motorway in a twin tub?

 

Also went under a copper doing arounds 85, just how accurate are these speedometers? (mine's bang on 80mph at 3500 revs.) Wondering this especially since i've converted my motor from an auto to a manwell.

 

any ideas?

You from Wigan? What Z do you drive? Never seen you, or maybe I have. :confused:

 

I drove to Scotland on holiday, boot full of luggage, 2 people and a tank full of fuel and I got 32mpg. But I did drive at 60mph most of the way.

 

The Speedo is good to about 70 then it starts going off a little. I have dont 100mph according to the speedo but the GPS was showing 90. BUt upto 70mph the speedo and GPS show virtually the same thing.

Aye one lives pretty much in the middle of wigan, but the car lives in warrington most days. (Have a free garage there!).

 

I've got black 1990 TT, only obvious things are twinturbo.net stircker on the back and a vented nose panel. Oh and a minging, bubbly rear spoiler. :rolleyes: It's only been back on the road for a month after a year up on stands getting dusty.

 

Which part of wigan do you live in? Seen a couple of Z'ds around wigan, yet to be flashed though. :confused:

Im in Winstanley. I have seen a black one a few times but is usually parked up. Maybe that is you. Black/dark grey alloys.

 

How long you had the car? My Z has been off the road for 3 months now. Its a red standard looking one.
