I have just filled up with fuel ready for Silverstone Classic next weekend and wondered what mpg "around town" other members got?
I will be there most of the weekend and look forward to meeting other DeLorean enthusiasts and driving around the circuit.

I got low to mid 20s for mpg but then it's just failed spectacularly it's mot on emissions being too rich. Yeh looking forward to the weekend just need to get this dam mot done. Apparently there's going to be 18 to 20 deloreans there.

Low to mid 20's driving around town.
32-34mpg on a run for a manual, a bit less for an auto.

I guess I'm getting around 18mpg on my commute to work, however I have no real idea as the speedo broke ages ago. The only figure I have is 27.6 mpg on my trip back from Norfolk a while ago. Mine is an automatic.
