All this fuss about making cars more fuel efficient.
What about making the roads more fuel efficient...Save a fortune and the planet.
Even the oil burners will have poor mpg in the traffic jams. :angry:

And that, my dear sir, is the truth of the week, nay year!  :smug: :cool: :smiley:

You know what? You may be right. All 3 pipes are a pain in the arse to keep clean. So I wash & dry regularly. Put it down as an Eastern thing! :sick: :grin:






















Just had a go at all 3! :sick: :sick: :sick:  :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:
































I know, TMI.  :grin:

my old scooby used to get a regular pounding and returned around 6mpg, my previous Focus ST got a regular 13mpg and my golf gt tdi get around 23mpg but it gets hoof'd about quite regular....so much so the intercooler ate the turbo and spat the turbo through the floor,
 
:grin:


My nice new hybrid :wink:
