David Winter 0 Posted February 26, 2009 Ive just got a new job and have gone from doing 40 miles a week to 500 miles aweek :shock: Ive been doing it for a month now and loved every mile. Car has been brilliant through 6 ins of snow the lot. But the sensible side of me knows that at 108k and £60 a week petrol this is not good. But I dont want to sell it. Think I will save and buy a cheap diesel but the wife has done her nut about me having 2 cars :( Some women just dont understand do they. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pete_griff 0 Posted February 28, 2009 If i drive like miss daisy i get a 25mpg reading max and even that is over reading it. that'll learn you for strapping a fizz-bang to the back of it! :lol: figures sound good David - they can return some surprising figures for an old car with a big engine can't they. i once saw over 40 mpg out of my old one on about a 20 mile run, but i was driving like miss daisy. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
