Sweet fanny adams!

Nah i used to always get 250 miles from a tank regardless of if i was motorway driving or ragging it. No idea why.

You can work out the MPG from that, I'm going to the pub Smile

Yeah i did 120 miles today to just over a quarter of a tank and on the way back, i was hardly hanging around. They can be quite good on fuel tbh

You must drive quite swiftly all of the time or you have a sensor away. I guess it does help with the fact my Rallye has nothing in it but still... Its all about maintaining momentum. I dont thrash it all of the time (and imagine that id see much less to a tank if i did) But just pottering, 5th at 30 - 6th at 40.

You're listening to the right people then Sean. Wink

And it does Chris, electronic climate control is nice! Big Grin Well it would've been if I'd used it out of Eco mode, I didn't want to waste fuel lol.
