NEW RECORD!!!

I made 53.9 MPG on the way home last night - from central Manchester to Stoke. Clear roads and slipstreaming riiiiiight up the arse of a boat being pulled by an artic... The truck was being very careful not to brake or accelerate hard so I knew i'd be safe getting nice and close :)
<steve_earwig> I think this forum is more about keeping our cars going with minimal outlay than giving our cars more reason to go bang

Oh, there's that guy tailgating me again. I think I'll flash my brakelights and see what happens...

My bicycle does 10 km per cheese sandwich. :P

Well your consumption equates to 33mpg so it's not toooooooo bad but could be better. Depends on your driving style, I guess.

I am getting 45mpg out of my 2.1TD, but a lot of it is motorway/A roads driving. Normally, it would be around 42mpg and I certainly don't drive like a granny!

Er... well I used Google's converter thing. Not sure if it's using American gallons though, which is about 1L less than a "normal" one (silly Americans)
