Good stuff, must be because you get more mpg than most of the diesel boys here

First tank new dsg petrol car I got:

35 @ 85ish mph over about 15 miles (following the docs mapped and faster GTD getting 52.6)

Then

41 @ 70 for about 20 miles

Then the rest was showing off with mostley Driving fast.

It averaged 26mpg 280 miles £70.

I dont remember that 

But do remember my dad filling up his old Granada 2.8 for £30 and still complaining back then (but not as much as now when it costs him £125!!)

This info is also eye watering.  If we had no fuel duty or VAT then we would pay 48p at the pump.
