Nice. What sort of MPG do you see out of it?

Getting approx 205 miles to the petrol light comes on with the green one, not sure what capacity the tank is but I'm sure someone on here can extrapolate a figure, haven't a clue with the grey one, will be interesting though to see how much difference the road tyres make compared to the greens chunky ones.

yeah that would be interesting, I reckon 25% could be lost with knobbly tyres, the resistance must be significant.

Changed tires on my Jimny to a Michelin road tire, now getting 255-60 miles on a tank, so the 25% estimate was bang on, well done..
