well, well over 80k.

Also been doing 700 miles a week for the last 2 months costing me between £80-90 a week in fuel averaging 49mpg

Rammed the polo after that :tongue: Your revenge was the sump bottoming out in the back roads and the 2 mile road with over 50 speed bumps :lipsrsealed: :grin:

This pains me to suggest but, our Toyota avensis TDi thing at work just goes and goes.
It has shamed the other pool cars with reliability and got 60mpg on a recent trip.
Poke, well it does not do that but it is comfortable :grin:

what is the new job????

Lots of good suggestions here, thanks!

Will keep you posted on cars i go to view.

The new job is same company, different role, so different "office" as it were.

My mate has a 2007 audi a3 and gets 50mpg in town. Thinks it's the 130bhp. just a thought

So glad my job gives me a new van and a free diesel card. Depending where the job is I can put in £150 a week  :shocked:
