Running Costs1 out of 5

The figures say the Flying Spur Speed will do 17mpg, but the truth is that even driving with saintly caution and restraint failed to extract even that from the monster engine.

Moreover, if you drive it the way Bentley encourages, it's a short trip from there to single-digit consumption which, in the era of the £6 gallon, might prove painful to high mileage users, even those rich enough to afford one such as this.
