    Don't know how many there are in the UK, but we picked up ours on Saturday just gone.

    Any other UK PiP drivers here?

    We are already getting the advantage of the car. Did a 70 mile round trip on the M25 (circular road around London) and got 86 mpg (UK gallons). Much better than the 29 mpg on the old car.

    Welcome.
    UK Gallons conversion A British imperial capacity measure (liquid or dry) equal to 4 quarts or 4.545 liters.
    US Gallons (Liquid) conversion A US capacity measure (for liquid) equal to 4 quarts or 3.785 liters.

    Interesting that the British Gallon and Quart are slightly larger than the US.
    1 British Gallon = 1.20079 US Gallons.
    Therefore, you would get more mpg. 50 US mpg = 60 British mpg

    Yep. In the UK our equivalent of your EPA gives the PiP 135 mpg.
