I have read lots about fuel economy on various threads both here and elsewhere. My attitude has been somewhere along the lines that, it doesn't matter what it costs I am either gonna buy it, or not have a car. I have to accpet that we are all (in the UK) controlled by a load of crooks and there is nowt I can do about it Murdoch, Blair, Brown, Cameron, Osborn and on and on, they all p*ss in the same pot, or more precisly down our leg, whilst laughing in our faces <SIGH>
Today I got invloved and filled up before leaving for a work trip, I recorded the exact milage and set off. I held the speedo to aprox 60 MPH usuall behind a large truck and the rev counter just on or below 3.000. I arrived home and filled up again having used 8.45 Litres of fuel and convered 95 Miles. The fuel calculator tells me that I have achieved better than 50 miles to the gallon.
I want one of my Hyundai'ish brothers/sisters to check these numbers for me, my head is still mashed from a bad day at the 'Slave Ship' and I have got this wildely wrong... Today was that day, I am sure you have all had this day, everything that could, went t*ts up AAaaaaaagggghhhhhh I am too old for this stuff.
