Easy to connect a lead (well the a4 is, I did one last night)... and how are you getting 30mpg? (I get less in my 1.8t)

Driving 'sensibly'   :tongue: (and being stuck behind twits doing 40-50 in 60 zones and unable to overtake due to oncoming traffic)
Tonight's journey was 29.9MPGz. This mornings  :lipsrsealed:

It really is not as bad as people make out on fuel, all depends how you drive them. If you want to acheive 22mpg then floor it everywhere, if you want a good return then drive sensible and still have a bit of fun.

I'll post a pic tomorrow with the V6's effort. Heavy foot + heavy car = frequent stops at ESSO! :tongue:

Very good purchase, Wayne. People at work been commenting on it and my friend wants the number plate (going back to Martz this weekend sadly :sad: )

Loving the roar at 4k+ :cool:  :evil:

Traffic was nonexistant for most of the way home and I still managed above 28mpg  :grin: Just.

Had a warning light flash on and off all the way in to work giving me a heart attack every two minutes :lipsrsealed: Fooking low on washer fluid  :grin:
