Ive noticed a massive drop in my mpg over the last week!

But thats due to me finishing work so no more 100 mile commutes only short trips around town.

Only been getting 38mpg!! :lipsrsealed: :grin: Down from 58mpg :whistle:  :laugh:
I often wonder why people never expect sarcastic comments from me - they're the only reason I speak...
