the Norfolkline ferry does returns from about £28 in the summer.  Early morning boat, get decent food, and your 20 miles closer as it comes into Dunkerque.

£800 in deisel, you didn't hang around......

Gld you had fun, their a good bunch The Dutch!

it was roughly 600 miles round trip! i normally get about 420 miles a tank give or take 30 miles

was good going

with the lovely open, empty motorways it really helps to keep to the speed limits out there.

if I do 500 to a tank I've been hamering it, why is yours so shocking?

I thought mine was on the poor side at 500 to a tank but I'll never get super economy as my daily commute is stop start with lots of hilly bits in it!
