to give you an idea........

i'm running approx 176bhp

i've done 420 miles; half sat at 90mph following Steve yesterday, and i've got a 1/3 of a tank left

Tax is £125 per year, insurance is about the same and servicing intervals are the same

oh and diesel is only 1p more than petrol  :wink:

I wasn't going that quick  :lipsrsealed: had 62 mpg until we got on the motorway then dropped to 48mpg by the time I got home  :cool:
oh and diesel is 1p cheaper than petrol by me so its a win win situation  :cool: :cool: :cool:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...

wow i was struggling to get 55mpg until we hit the motorway - got 53 mpg in the end thanks to the stupid roadworks at Newport.  Was averaging 51mpg until then
